I second that nomination for the Mighty Bright XtraFlex 2 specifically (versus the other Mighty Bright models).

While there are models with more LED bulbs, this one uses special hi-yield bulbs which give three times the light as normal LEDs. So its the equivalent of SIX LEDs.

In many circumstances you'll find yourself hitting the switch to turn off one of the bulbs, only leaving one lit.

There's still a potential glare issue though--so it might not be to everyone's taste. You DO have to fiddle occasionally to find the right position for the light.

EDIT - I see you wound up getting one of the XtraFlex models. For the money, the XtraFlex 2 is probably worth it over the one bulb model, so I hope that's the one you got. Again, if its too bright, you can always turn one of the bulbs off.
