PRS-600 Recommended Light?

jmaloney · 02-17-2010, 11:17 AM

Does anyone have a light they'd recommend for use with the 600? I think I'd like to get one for reading at night, but I'm curious to know what you guys have used and what seems to work best.

Thanks!

I bought this light:

The Mighty Bright Xtra Flex 2.

It is a REALLY bright LED,with two settings. It's so bright that it sometimes bothers my husband if I read in bed while he's sleeping. It has a really nice clip and it's really flexible and adjustable. It runs on AAA batteries.

Like I said, just extremely bright!

Looks good -- I'll check that out.

I should probably also mention that I'm looking for something that I can clip directly on to the device. I don't have a cover (the included sleeve is all I need), so I'm not looking for something that would need to be clipped onto a cover. Can the Mighty Bright light be used that way?

Thanks!

I'll throw in a second recommendation for the Xtra Flex 2.

+1 for the XtraFlex 2. It has rubber grips.

Got one at Target, don't know what it's called, but has 4 LED's, with 2 settings . . . less than 10 bucks, and as a booklight, it works great

Which Sony OEM light cover is better? The PRS ACL1 or PRS ACL6? Or are they both mediocre. They both certainly are over priced at >$70 CDN I believe both work on the PRS 600.

I have yet to get a flip cover for my PRS600, so I am suggestions.

Basically I need a flip cover and a light source.

Yep. You can clip it right onto the reader. It has a strong and non-slippery clip.

I have ordered one of the Mighty Bright Xtraflex 2 lights and one of their craft lights from a UK store (http://www.mightybrightuk.co.uk/mighty/shop.html)

I will report further when they arrive! Thanks for the reccomendations.

Hi - I bought a Great Point Light on ebay for about $5.00 - has 2 settings and is bright enough to light the entire page. It takes CR2450 batteries, but I bought 4 of those on ebay as well for about $2.00. I don't think the light would clip to the reader itself, but works well with the cover, for others that might be interested.

jmaloney · 02-18-2010, 12:55 PM

Thanks for the recommendations, folks. Looks like the XtraFlex2 is the preferred light of choice here. I may have to pick that up.

Anyone try the Kandle? It looks like it might be nice.

I did read great reviews on it from Kindle owners. If it came in black I would probably try it.

jmaloney · 02-18-2010, 03:24 PM

Check my link. They do have a black one available now.

Whoa!!!

I planned on getting the M-Edge eLuminator2 light to go with the, yet to be released, M-Edge Executive Jacket. Since the Kandle is the same price I might as well get it.

I would have never searched for the black one (again).

Edit: Uh Oh...I just saw that 2 CR2032 batteries are required. Darn! I'll have to stay with my original plan. AAA or AA batteries is a must have.

jmaloney · 02-18-2010, 04:30 PM

Yeah, the battery issue definitely seem to be a downside there. Though, if the problem is in regards to recharging batteries, it looks like this might be a suitable replacement for the CR2032 batteries: LIR2032. And don't forget a charger.
