I was considering that. I have one that is part of my camping gear. Does that work out well for you?

It does. It would probably get uncomfortable after a few hours, though.

I was thinking mostly about using it during my morning walks (now that the sun is coming up later).

That should be fine! (Although do remember if you come across anyone else and look them in the eye, they'll get an eyeful of torch light )

Bought the Verilux - hate it.

Mind you, when the batteries are fully charged, it works *great*, even on the DX. But charging with USB sucks. I charged mine for an entire day by USB, and not enough power to go an hour.

I might try buying new rechargables, but I've used two different sets (1700 mAh and 2500 mAh AAs). I have to throw the batteries on a stand-alone charger to get through more than a couple hours.

No to mention, the thing is flimsy and cheap-feeling like some cheap Chinese made toy rather than a $20 reading light.

I purchased the Mighty Brite XtraFlex 2 for my mother's 600. It works quite nicely. It can be gotten at B&N or Borders for $14.95.

If you have one with a red LED or filter it will also preserve your night vision.

I pulled it out to try it and inadvertently broke it while changing the dead battery.
