Product Description
Don't be left in the dark! The USB Notebook Light from Cables To Go ensures you have light to do your computing when you need it most. Use it on the plane, during a dimly lit presentation, or in bed. Great for travelers and students alike, this featherweight light illuminates your keyboard without distracting others around you. The USB Notebook Light plugs directly into an available USB port so no external power supply is needed. The flexible neck allows you to arrange the light in any position you like, yet it is rigid enough to hold its shape. The LED light reliably provides light for up to 8, 000 hours, so you'll never be caught in the dark again!

Adequate, if difficult to control, USB notebook light December 24, 2008

The light output of this single LED lamp is bright, but concentrated as you might expect in a relatively narrow beam. It is adequate for short-term use, which is pretty much what lamps like this are intended for.
The big problem with this unit is the gooseneck. It looks strong with its metal jacket, but in fact is very difficult to work with. The gooseneck, while easy to bend, does not keep the shape you bend it into. Worse, the USB socket allows the entire assembly to wobble. The end result is a difficult to position, unstable device that is frustrating to deal with.
In the end, the unit is inexpensive and, after considerable fooling around, you can get the light to shine where you want it - for a few seconds anyway. I suspect the problems I cite here are probably endemic to all of these units. Doubtful that you're going to find anything approaching perfection here.
