Yes, there obviously is a fall-off in illumination from top right (where the light is) to bottom left, but not so much that it's a problem. I think it's a very clever piece of engineering indeed.

It's really not a clever piece of engineering, since it doesn't work properly.
If Amazon had let the light come out of the center of the case at the top rather than the top right corner (what WERE they thinking??), it would have a winner on its hands.
Anyway, hopefully some third-party manufacturer comes out with a decent clip-on light, since Amazon failed with their attempt, for sure. It would be one thing if the light fall-off was horizontal, but it's diagonal, and HARD, and ever so distracting!
No thanks.
