A small amendment to "my first impression". The light is not yellowish. It is white with a shade of blue. However, whereas prs-light01 light has a quite strong bluish tint, verilus has a very light blue tint, so the light is almost white, plus greyness of the the reader's screen and you think that the light has a very light yellow tint

OK. As I promised a few pictures of the light, although there is not much I can add to my previous comments. I didn't have an opportunity to use it for too long. Only twice for 30 minutes. I still like it Although as I said you can clip the light to the right/left side of the reader, I don't do it. I prefer to clip it to the top and it produces enough light to cover the bottom of the page - it is the most important spec. of the light for me because other lights were very bright in immediate vicinity where they were cliped to the reader but dimmed too much for my eyes towards the middle/edges. although if you clip it to the side the result is even better but for me the reader feels more comfortable when the light is on the top.
I cannot promise it but I will try to make a few more pics in the darkness. If I manage, I will post them as well. Last edited by astra; 04-15-2007 at 10:01 AM. |

Hi guys&gals
If anyone buy verilux, could you let us know your opinion? I am very curious, what others think about it. |

I bought the Verilux via Amazon last week and just unwrapped the package.
What I like:
What I don't like:
I cannot say anything about power usage yet because I've been using it for only an hour so far. If having a bright even light is the most important aspect for you, the Verilux is definitely a good deal! |

Cool!
I agree about it being fragile. I remember I was a bit concerned about it after reading on amazon, that one user broke the switch very fast. One must be careful when using it. I used some very cheap AA batteries and they discharged quite fast. A few days ago I finally put 2 AA rechargeable batteries, 2500mAh each and the light looks brilliant, I used it for about 4 hours and have not noticed any deemness so far. I think it will be bright enough for about 8 hours before it starts to deem, but have to test it yet. (and yes, having a bright even light is the most important aspect for me along with no more worries about spending money on batteries, 4 rechargeable AAs is more than enough for me.) P.S. btw I have not tried to read from USB. It would be very awkward to have a laptop running all the time (noisy as well) and they say it would not be as bright as with AAs. Also I don't like the idea of a cable connected to the lamp, I like it to be completely free of cables so I can turn in my bed any way I want to without worrying about cables.
