As light and compact as the original, this LED version of the Itty Bitty book light rules out the possibility of a bulb burning out during the crucial last chapter. Its two tiny heat-free LED bulbs provide adequate reading light for a grand total of 100,000 hours--enough to keep you reading through decades of use. Clipped to your paperback or hardcover book, the light shines directly on the pages instead of on your sleeping partner. In addition, it carries its power source inside--four AAA batteries (not included) keep it going for up to 14 continuous hours. You can also purchase an AC adapter separately for steady, more economical use. Designed for easy portability and minimal weight, the light collapses to 4-1/2 inches, extends to 7 inches, and tips the scales at a mere 2-1/2 ounces. The bulbs automatically kick on when you extend the telescoping arm, and the lamp hood revolves for perfect placement. A sturdy carrying case is included for storage and travel. --Emily Bedard
