I am looking for a nice book light that can also last me a while. I have one by energizer, and while it's not bad, battery time isn't too great for my liking.

Any recommendations?

I will say, if you have a book with glossy pages, or glossy print, having the light directly above your eyes can cause glare. You end up having to hold the book or magazine at a slight angle. That's an issue a book light doesn't have as much.

If you do buy it and don't like it, send me a DM and I'll see about buying it from you. I could always use a spare. But it has to be the Nichia warm white version.

Na, I like flashlights, have a few just laying around, fortunately stopped myself from "collecting" more before the hobby became too expensive. Having one more won't really matter, also don't have any headlamps, so one for the collection, if nothing else 😀

Excellent reasoning! Let me know what you think of it.
