My 11 year old gave it this review: "the worst light light you can get". He is a little extreme, but we did have these problems with it: The light is pretty weak, and when you turn it up to full volume it makes the batteries die really fast. In addition, the flexible shaft doesn't stay in place. It has to be constantly rebent into position. IMHO this product needs some more R and D work. I do not recomment it in its present form, instead, check out the magnifier light.
