I use the light pretty often and I haven't found it has caused battery life to plummet. I can read for several nights in a row with it. I end up plugging in because I think I should. I haven't actually had a low battery situation with it. Maybe I should see how long it takes. If I thought I'd be going for an extended time between access to outlets, I might think differently. I suppose most book lights are not quite $25 (the difference in prices between the two cases), but I like the convenience of the integration so I was willing to fork over a little premium.
That said, Mighty Bright is what I used before and it worked great. Easy on the batteries. Bright light. Not too heavy. I haven't tried it with the new case style but it seems it would do alright. I had no problem using it with my old stock K1 case or the M-Edge case.
