I just bought a PRSA-CL6 light/case.

I think the light is ideal for reading in the dark, evenly and adequately illuminating the screen, but I have a separate issue, and I'm wondering if it's just my unit or if others' are the same.

The gooseneck is terrible. The light will not stay in any of the positions I put it in, and I am constantly having to readjust it, or even hold it with my thumb, as I read. It is resistant to being rotated, and will not allow me to center it above the screen parallel to it. It "fights" my every effort to reposition it.

No one mentioned this in their reviews in the other thread.

Is my unit defective, or are they all like this? I didn't expect the gooseneck to be the issue, if any, with this unit, but I think I cannot keep it if this is the case. It needs to stay where I put it, or it's more trouble than it's worth.

Thanks.

David
