The model number on this one is 17161-000. It's a Tensor "Portable Multi Functional Natural Daylight Lamp", featuring "Vision Max Natural Daylight Lighting". Tensor is a brand of Catalina Lighting. The bulb's a 2.5 watt CCFL, not Halogen.
My scale's not very accurate for really lightweight things, but this light is definitely under 1/2 pound (with 3 AAs; without them, my scale won't register its presence). It and the Cybook are very close in weight. The two of them together tip the scale at just under one pound.
Here's several pictures. The contrast between the light level nearest the bulb and further away is rather exaggerated by the camera, unfortunately. The brightness across the screen is really much more even than the camera causes it to appear in the first picture in particular. The last picture is just to give an idea of exactly what the light looks like and how far the gooseneck can be extended (in contrast to the in-use photos, where the gooseneck is bent to bring the light as close to the Cybook as possible, in order to reduce light leakage to the surrounding area, as one would prefer when trying not to disturb one's companion).
