Kootek9 LED Clip On Light Reading Lights with USB Rechargeable Lithium Battery Adjustable Flex Neck LED Bright Booklight with AC Adapter

I bought 4 of these a few years ago. They’re amazing … the best LED lights I’ve ever bought. Then they became unavailable. I still use them everyday in a studio.Back then they cost me £14.99 each …. now they cost 3 times as much!Why the outrageous price rise. That price is TOO MUCH 🤔Update: having read all Q&A’s and reviews the only difference in performance and specs is that the USB power cable is more than twice as long. Is that worth a 150% price rise.any one who calls this price “good value” is just wrong.Also I have used the 4 of these that I purchased quite a few years back while still attached to power most days. Usually they will be fully charged to start with, but I’ve also used them on power whilst charging, and it has not affected their performance detrimentally nor their lifespan (yet).So as I originally said they are extremely good lights, but I do now consider them overpriced, and taking into account inflation they should be around £25- … I’d probably pay £30- … but not £45- 😳

The light itself is great, but I've had it for nine months and something inside the clamp has snapped under normal use, meaning the clamp is now in two pieces and I can't put it back together. I can't clamp it to my music stand now, so its useless.I am investigating if I can return it... UPDATE...I emailed the supplier using the Amazon forms, and within a few hours received an apology and a request for confirmation of the delivery address for a replacement from the suppliers, Kootek. I paid no money and didn't have to send the broken one back.I received the replacement within two days and so have a revised my rating upwards. The lamp is still a great lamp. The newer version of the lamp has a slightly different clamp shape, so hopefully this will last much longer. 4 stars for the lamp, 5 Stars for customer service!

UPDATE: It did not last long. The arm popped out of its housing very soon. This was glued back on this epoxy and I thought I had a good solution before the whole spring mechanism just exploded making it next to useless for me. Great concept but let down by the engineering. Downgraded to 2 stars.On the whole this is a good product and there is lots to like for the price. The clip is sturdy and wide opening which grips things well and is wide enough that it can be self standing. The battery lasts a good time and I like the portability. I also like the fact that the light strength has two settings. On the downside the flexible arm popped out of it's housing almost from the word go and the power lead is pitifully small rendering it useless for anything except charging. The end is also a round pin meaning there is a good chance you won't have a longer one at home. The light is ok and not bright enough for, say, detailed hobbyist work IMO (for example I found it pointless to use at work but it is just about bright enough to read in bed). Overall good, but not great, yet well priced.

Updated Review: Whilst I experienced problems with the first light clip on , the customer service has been brilliant and I was able to get a replacement at no cost . I delayed my updated review to see if there was any difference and there was. The new clip on light works as its meant to be. I have updated my review to more stars to reflect the effort to rectify the initial product. As many sellers on amazon like to insist the fault is from the customer.First Review: This product is not as durable and sturdy as other reviewers suggest . The clip part has already become loose and the battery dies quickly

Bought for a church lectern so it is left for a while between charges but is flexible, clamps on easily and gives a bright, directed light for reading. Excellent battery life. Fully recommended.

I bought this light because I wanted something to light-up my photographs on a display board at events but wasn't sure it would be bright enough or last long enough, I am pleased to say it exceeded my expectation, the light lite up the full display board and produced a good light which bought out the colours in photograph for about 10 hours. I would certainly recommend it to anyone who wants a portable display light. the attached photo is the test I did with just one photograph with no other light source

Very good device and easy to set up. Breadth of light not really sufficient for more than 2 A4 pages of music, side by side. Also the adjustable arm tends to twist back and is quite difficult to set central over the music, it tends t swing away after a time

I liked the first one so much I bought another (for a different music stand). The neck holds it's shape and is long enough for any music stand or piano rest. I charged it after 5 hours use at maximum although it might well have gone further. (I used it 1 hour per day). The light is about an A4 width so to illuminate 2 A4 pages will be slightly dimmer at the edges. The battery hold it's charge being Li -ion so a good buy.
