@gardenstate: The charger/SD card etc I can pick up locally if I feel I need those.
What I am looking at here is stuff I should pick up from Amazon/US stores which buying the reader initially and which would not be available locally.
Will check out mighty bright and verilux.
@astra: The tin box thing 'may' work, but then again, I may not be able to order the cover for a while if theres no one coming over form the US, so dont want to take that chance
