I could not find locally, so I ordered from the manufacturer.

No sales tax, if not in CA, or shipping if $25 ordered.

Okay I just got my Mighty Bright TravelFlex lights and I really really like them. Since it uses only one AAA battery, the clip is not as bulky as the regular Mighty Bright Light that uses 3 batteries.

Too bad they didn't sell the TravelFlex light locally, I wouldn't have bought the original one!

Thanks Nwinter, or Natalie!!! I gave you Karma for that tip.

The light is still very bright, so I don't know why they even sell the other version.

Just thought someone might be interested.

You are welcome and I am glad you think the same. Small and handy isnt it. Although I am having a problem bending the silver one that I exchanged the pink one for in the same manner. I will have a closer look at it to figure it out. Unfortunately for me I am in the middle of reading a book book ( weird concept I know!) so 505 is having a rest for a few weeks then I will get back into "playing". Enjoy

Wow this light looks awesome thanks for sharing. I am not waiting any longer for M edge to decide if they are going to come out with a light for the 505, I am ordering this one tomorrow. Does the light fit snugly in the elastic loop? I am just wondering if it moves around or stays put when you bend the light to where you want it ?

If put in the elastic pen holder, it's held tightly and snugly enough, but it can tilt a bit from side to side, so you have to fiddle a bit with it - or you have to if you're like me and sometimes a bit particular about getting things 'just so'

IF M-edge ever get one made that fits the Sony, I MIGHT consider bying it then - would depend on how much I end up depending on the booklight (not much at the moment).

I think near the edge of the bendable arm it might not stay in place as well as in the middle. If that makes sense. I noticed that too, but I worked with it to make it sit where I wanted it too. I am very particular about where the light hits, as it makes glare when it hits the top area of shiny silver on the sony.

So I am very picky, but all in all the light is the best I have seen, and is not bulky and heavy. I still put a nylon over the light, as it was just as bright as the light with 3 batteries. I just need a little bit of light. But it worked for me as I read alot yesterday with it.

TravelFlex looks really nice. How long does the battery last approximately?

I don't know if anyone has had one long enough to give you that answer. But I would suspect it should last for quite some time. I have a flashlight LED with one battery, and it lasts and lasts and lasts. I think LED lights don't use much juice, or so I am told.

I have seen booklights that use $7-8 battery replacements. Now yes that may be a lightweight booklight, but I am not going to spend that much money on battery replacements for those button size batteries! That is nuts. At least AAA you can use rechargeables or cheap throwaways.

Did you get the M-edge too? I wonder why they are so cheap. By the time I decide they will be gone. I would go for the old ones because of cost. I can't see any differences.

Yes, the covers finally arrived (I am going to take a few pictures). I think the difference is that the new covers are a bit wider to accommodate a book light positioned at the spine of the cover. It means the spine is softer and you can't really hold the cover open like a book - I always fold it over anyway, so it's not a problem. The wider spine also gives a bit more to hold on to, which is actually nice.

mine arrived too I love them. They are gorgeous! The only thing that could be better is if they did a version that didn't have the extra width for the light but in the pretty new colours

I called dymocks to order my mighty bright light too so fingers crossed

Its just great to spread the might bright joy around. I am glad that you are all finding it as great as I did. I will have a look at the flex problem and yes, I was trying to bend it over closer to the light.

I have not used mine enough yet to know how long the battery last but a AAA is pretty cheap to replace and I would guess it would not drain to quick.

This seller has the TravelFlex on Ebay for $12.99 w/ free shipping Lots of colors and quantity in stock. I just ordered a silver one to blend in with the interior of the m-edge case.

Have you figured out which M-Edge cover to get - or another cover perhaps?
