Bought the Verilux - hate it.

Mind you, when the batteries are fully charged, it works *great*, even on the DX. But charging with USB sucks. I charged mine for an entire day by USB, and not enough power to go an hour.

I might try buying new rechargables, but I've used two different sets (1700 mAh and 2500 mAh AAs). I have to throw the batteries on a stand-alone charger to get through more than a couple hours.

No to mention, the thing is flimsy and cheap-feeling like some cheap Chinese made toy rather than a $20 reading light.
