What is Bulk Rate? BulkRate is a semi-wholesale system with items priced separately from retail. When you use bulk rates, a flat $1.70 registered air mail fee will automatically be added to your cart to ensure delivery of package. While BulkRate's intention is to offer cheaper prices when you buy in bulk, because it is priced separately it on occassions show a higher than retail price. That's why we ask you to enter BULKRATE as a coupon code to manually activate the rates. You can always opt not to use the bulk rates. If you are looking for wholesale prices please feel free to contact us.

Pros: Well, this thing is excellent to use if you want to read something in the middle of the night and don’t want to disturb anyone else around you.
You can adjust the brightness of the light too, after how much light you want to have it.
The light shines in a colour which is blue/white, pretty good of you ask me when it comes to read, would have been worse if it was in a different colour.
Cons: The quality isn’t really that great, it works fines, yes but if you hate scratch marks this thing isn’t for you. The plastic screen, which was covered in some kind of protector when it arrived, was already from the start really scratched. The material looks like some kind of cheap plastic and might get even more scratches in the future.
But hay, its china and the price is pretty cheap, you can’t really complain.
Other: buy it and use it if you are a bookworm like me, or something else. Don't do any stupid things with this item :-)

Pros: Great idea.
Compact.
Fairly bright.
Cons: #1 complaint - scratched 'glass.' There appear to be 2 pieces of plexiglass glued together, and there is a strong pattern over the entire clear part when the light is turned on. The brigher the light, the brigher the scratches. It's very hard on the eyes when trying to read.
It is too small for most books.
Mine didn't work at first. I had to take it apart and bend some of the battery terminals.
Other: It's a really neat idea, but the lens is just awful. Since most book pages are printed on both sides of a page, the letters on the back side bleed through if you try to use it under the page you are reading.
If you lay this on top of the page you are trying to read, the scratches make the text barely legible. Plus, the device is quite small so it isn't good for anything bigger than a compact paperback book.
A clip-on light or light that clamps onto your headboard would have to be better than this.

Pros: Probably does what its supposed to if you are getting a product in mint condition.
Cons: Due to all the complaints I'v read on this product i guessed that DX had improved this product. It seems like all the faults and quality issues still lives in best well-being. First of all my product had the same scratches as mentioned my lots of other people here. Also, after inserting the batteries and testing the product it took about 2 minutes before i heard a *bzzzz* sound and one of the LED's burned out. Now it only works with 2 LED's, making it kinda useless as only half the device is illuminated. In total this was probaly the most poorly experience I'v had related to products from DX.
Other: Not much, see the rest of my review.

Pros: The does not disturb my wife when I am reading in bed at night and the lights are off.
It is bright enough and as evenly lit as most other book lights, but it doesn't spill the light outside the reading area.
I find it easier to use than other book lights.
Cons: The screen is filled with scratches (as mentioned lots of times before)
The adjustable brightness is cheap and you can turn for a while with no change and then there are a few clicks where it goes from dim to maybe 80% and then many more clicks to get to 100%.
Not large enough for many books... need to slide it down as you read.
Other: Decent for the price, but the scratches should really be fixed.
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: The idea is great. my wife used to switch the light on all the time and it disturbed me all the time, now she can read and let me sleep, the light is really strong, the glass is very clear
Cons: the dimer is not the best build quality, but after all, it is ok.
another thing maybe, it is not the easiest to insert the batteries... but again... you do it once a month so you should not be worried about that.
Other: if you need it!? BUY IT, great value for this cheap product.

Pros: - nice concept
- It Actually Works
- adjustable brightness
Cons: - build quality is horrible
- leaks light at the edges, so it could do with a border to keep the light only on the page
- brightness control is a bit flimsy and not quite linear
- some scratches
- some moiré patterns visible
- a bit too big for my discworld paperbacks, but hey, this is one-size-fits-all
Other: I'd be happy to pay a bit more and get better quality and a border to keep the light in. Will mod mine with a border.
