I've tried several reading lights. Most of the LEDs are too sharply bright. I want adequate light, but not piercingly bright so I have been disappointed. I might look into the adjustable one, but it seems really clunky. Still looking.

If you don't mind having something on your head here is a suggestion. Go to Harbor Freight and get one of the "coal miner" head lamps. They are light weight and can be directed to right where you are looking. The straps are soft and easy to adjust, the light is enough to read by and soft, and it takes a couple of batteries. They run about $3.00 - $5.00.

If your present bedside light has a regular screw-in base, you can get an Ott light bulb in a size that would be bright enough for your needs. Take a look at some of the Ott lights at Joanns online or in store. The flip version is good for many places. The Ott lights are frequently on sale for 40-50% off.

I looked at them and passed but DH picked on up for me a couple of months ago as we were traveling and he thought it would be easier packing with that. Used it while on vacation and worked fine. I read in bed every night. I wear glasses to read in bed and the kindle/tablet just has no appeal for me as I can't get the type large enough to not wear glasses. The actual books are just as easy for me.
BTW - picked this up in either Walmart or Target - forget where I saw it. About $20 I think??

Oh my I thought I was the only one who still has " itty bitty book lite ". One is original ,,have instruction book and charger but also have a copy type. Both are up north but I needed one the other night while here in Fl.

sewnclog I use to have a light just like that!!! Got rid of it about 6 years ago and missed it. We have a light w/a clip that is on the headboard and the neck is flexable so I can move the light when DH goes to sleep and it does not disturb him. Mine is similar to this https://www.walmart.com/ip/Mainstays...luded/44782714
