Got my new M-Edge E-Luminator2 today. Here's the rundown:
Pros:
* It's extremely lightweight. Because it uses only one AAA battery, the weight is barely noticeable.
* The neck is very flexible and easy to position. Right of the box, at least, it stays where you place it.
* The retainer plate slips easily between my K2 and the Amazon leather Kindle cover and stays secure.
Cons:
* It's not all that bright. It's usable, but I couldn't tell that much difference between the two intensity settings.
* The light doesn't cover the screen evenly. Not bad, but could be better.
My opinion:
I know of no company that has yet devised the perfect reading light. With current technology, trade-offs between size, weight, luminosity, and screen coverage will continue to be made. I'm not overly thrilled with any of the attachable reading lights, but have to admit the E-Luminator2 is best I've seen so far. I'll use a reading lamp or Old Sol whenever I can, but I can see where this thing would be useful when those options aren't available, or when the wife wants to sleep.
