Touch Reading Light

MorganM · 07-22-2012, 01:08 AM

Hi,

Can anyone recommend a good clip on reading light? The one I do have atm is quite clunky.

I don't mind buying from overseas.

Mighty Bright has some that work. www.mightybright.com.

I picked up their Hammerhead design at Costco, and while not perfect, is the best I've seen that grabs onto the Touch well without getting too much in the way. And it produces a very nice light pattern for reading.

I should add I have my kobo in a cover most of the time so something to grab on to the cover as well.

There is another thread over in General Discussions Page Illumination

As I mention I am happy with LightWedge and the Verso Arc

What I'd really like is something like a headphone jack on the top edge, attached to the internal battery. Then you could have a LED on a simple stiff, but bendable cable that plugs into it.

I was checking out the Japanese Kobo page, and came across the following light, from Kobo.

Approx US$32.

I purchased the http://www.mightybright.com/eReader-...-eReader-Light and am reasonably happy with it. In particular because I insist on AAA batteries as those are relatively cheap and easier to find.

Then I purchased a Vox when it came out. That has been my preferred solution instead of the LED light when in dim lighting situations.

It looks like the XtraFlex2 and the Hammerhead have the same base.
