I presume the low level would be plenty for reading. USB rechargeable and supposed to be good for about 9 hours on low beam. Very lightweight as listed as weighing 1.3 ounces. Thoughts?

This is not a head lamp, but I have thought of purchasing this to use with my unlighted reader - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00UE22N7M...=IWCN3RARRMVYW

I like that it has the night-time filters, and personally, I think I would find it more comfortable than having a light strapped to my head.
