Picked up a book from library the other day and got really involved in the storyline....nothing deep, just lite fiction...but anyway.....couldn't fall asleep last nite so thought I'd continue my read. Btw, no one else in room....so I turned on lamp on my nightstand....not bright enough....pulled out of the drawer the flashlight that's there for emergency...clumsy to jiggle book and f/l.......oh, I know use kindle....I have, but this was new.....so hard cover was there.......my question- any ideas on bright portable lite in case I get this urge again.

My husband uses this type of reading lamp. It clamps onto the headboard and he can bend the light so it's not bothering me while I sleep.

I have an old 'Itty bitty book light' (brand name). They apparently are no longer made. The best replacement I've found thus far are some LED clip on book lights. Not as stable as the itty bitty one but it works. 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??
