Just wondering if anyone has tried the Lyra Light from B&N, Im looking @ that and the e-Luminator2.

I have it and I do like it but I wish it had to light blubs instead of one. I think that some of the others have 2.

The only thing I miss about the PRS-700 was the light. I had to start using my bedside reading lamp again. I am also looking to find a lighting alternative so will be keeping my eye out on this thread.

The lyra light is functional but not wonderful. The rubber pads it uses to grip the nook are a very hard rubber, and tend to slip if the Nook is jostled at all. The plus is of course that the light is meant for the nook, and clips on without obstructing the screen.

I will eventually replace the rubber pads, and then I believe the light will be as good as possible. Personally I don't understand the appeal of the two-light models. They simply eat batteries at twice the rate. On the other hand, I have been reading books in dimly lit rooms all my life, so maybe I'm not as particular as others.

I have the Lyra. I think the overall form factor is good (I clip it on my Bronte cover so have no issues with the grip) but I would not recommend it. It's not bright enough and it takes hard-to-find batteries.
