Sometimes it doesn't fitt great to the bedside and turns around

Great light. I have a pink one and love it
from Perrysville, OH on 7/18/2008
I bought this flashlight for my father for father's day and it was perfect. My father is one of those that " has everything" and what a neat and yet highly practical gift. Now my mother(who is very short) doesn't have to stand and hold the flash light "higher"

-hang it around your neck for reading in areas not well lit
-place it on table and move at will to better light jigsaw puzzle pieces
from Florida on 7/6/2008
It is nice and looks like an eyeball, the bendable part feels like metal you can put around your neck to read, it bends and stays nice. The eye lid part half way is dimmer light and lift it wide and it is brighter light. I wish brookstone would let you pick the color you want. I got pink and love it, but would like to order more in different colors as 4 colors are available
from Baker City , OR on 4/4/2008
My kids want to read just so they can use it and it helps see things in tight areas. Also does not glare on the television screen when in use unlike a table lamp may do. Thank you it is a great smile starter also. Anyone who receives one as a gift or for themselves can't help but smile.

Great booklight. Can wear it around my neck and easily direct the light so it doesn't disturb my sleeping husband.
from Chicago, IL on 3/7/2008
I love this light. It is the best bedside reading light I've ever used and I have tried many different kinds. If you need to get up at night this is the perfect light to use. It's so portable that you can use it in the car. I bought two lights and keep one in my car in case i want to read at night while I am traveling. That way I don't disturb the driver by using the overhead car light. Great product.
from Montclair, NJ on 2/15/2008
This light is focused enough not to wake up my husband or sleeping baby. It's better than any book light. We ordered more so that we have a guaranteed supply for a long time to come.
from Cheshire, CT on 2/2/2008
The light has multiple uses. We bought two - one as a gift and one for home.
from Boerne, TX on 1/14/2008
Great for night reading and travel reading.
from Annandale, VA on 1/13/2008
take it anywhere
from Annandale, VA on 1/13/2008
portable and flexible light source, great price!
from Gorham, ME on 1/12/2008
Shine the light where you want it!
from Gorham, ME on 1/12/2008
It is great when you just need a little light and can direct the beam to where you want it.
from Seattle, WA on 1/11/2008
I gave 7 of the "Winks" this Christmas to people aged 10, 13, 20's 60's and even 70 yrs old. They all LOVED the light and use them daily. I think everyone should own one. I plan on getting more and including myself and my husband on the receiving end of one this time.
from Petaluma, Ca on 1/7/2008
Our son loves it because he can use it hands free in the car and while watching T.V.
from Dunmore, PA on 1/6/2008
works great in car!
from Grand Prairie, Texas on 1/5/2008
The light can be set very dim for reading in bed without disturbing my wife, but at the barely-open setting, the light beam is narrow and broad, where a round beam would illuminate more of the text. The Wink is great for plumbing or engine work where a light is needed in a small dark area; you can hang it on your neck or wrap it around any handy object.
from St. Marys, GA on 1/5/2008
My daughters gave me this as a Christmas gift. I use it quite often. The LED light is quite bright. Good product! The only negative is the on/off feature. When packed in a suitcase, jostling will turn the light on and run down the battery.
from Federalsburg, MD on 1/4/2008
Great light! The kids use them in the car at night to read, do homework and play. They are not distracting to the driver and they can put them in many positions that help them stay occupied in the backseat.
from Chestertown, MD on 1/4/2008
light weight and easy to use
from Northbrook, IL on 1/4/2008
Given as a gift and the recipient's wife immediately identified it for bedside reading -- his! Spiffy design, lots of applications.
from brewster, ma on 1/4/2008
its fine for light reading at night when you want a little more light. not as bright as you would think. flexible stand is great for going around neck so can read in car on long trips.
from Maryland on 1/4/2008
Bought as a gift for hubby the handy man, for just a bit of extra light for when you need it and place the light where you need it.
I think they are fun to use. They give off enough light to read in bed. They make great gifts for kids between 9 and late teens I think they would be great for a dorm room
from Irwin, PA on 1/2/2008
Ingenious and cute design. Small but powerful light source. Would prefer, however, an on/off switch as opposed to just closing the lid.
from miami, fl on 12/19/2007
Amazing amount of light for such a small lamp. Great for desk in a dorm room where you do not want to bother anyone.
from Central Massachusetts on 12/19/2007
Good keyboard lighting.
from Central Massachusetts on 12/19/2007
I find it very useful in the evening when I want to use my computer without having a large lamp on. It effectively lights my keyboard.
from Louisville, KY on 12/19/2007
Love this!

This product is quite small. Which could be okay in some cases. I wanted something a bit bigger. The light isn't all that bright. If using it as a reading light in bed, I DONT recommend. You can adjust how intense you want the light, but be careful. It doesnt seem to be made to sturdy. Not to pleased with the product for the price I paid! AND I purchased the silver, they sent me the black. I didnt want black.

[...] I saw it and liked the look. When I saw the price there was no question. I first purchased it to provide directed light while making jewlery (personal hobby). I have since found more and more uses for it. I now use it for most places I need a small light. The two intensity levels were a nice surprise I did not know about before I bought it. I used it on a trans-Atlantic flight without ever disturbing the guy next to me. The only thing that one may not like is that it is not as bright as some of the three or more LED lights available. It does however provide more than enough light for it's intended use. I have recommended this product to freinds and co-workers and all seem to be very happy with it. Highly recommended.
