Do you know whether there are any generic covers with included led lamps? I'm asking because for me, the shipping will cost more than the PRSA-CL6 itself.
About your second point, actually I already have a led lamp that I can power from AC but using it is not so convenient as I believe the PRSA-CL6 would be.

No, no generic covers with LED lamps currently exist as far as I'm aware, and even M-Edge's lamp is a separate unit from the cover which fits it. Beyond that, an AC supply-powered LED lamp is just an LED-powered desk lamp, which exist and are plentiful.... and if you're worried about having to readjust the lamp or taking it to another room, then why did you ask for an AC adapter? That'll just tie you down to whatever outlets are handy, and cause the exact same issues you're complaining about...
Your best bet is a simple two or four-AAA battery charger and a set of batteries. Given this is an LED lamp, you're likely to get a few hundred hours of use out of it with most LED's in commercial use, out of even that low-capacity battery.
