Default Good quality USB powered light

Are there any good quality USB powered lights on the market? I want something bright enough and with a wide enough emission angle to illuminate my laptop's entire keyboard. All the USB lights I've seen so far use a single 5mm LED and fail miserably at illuminating more than a small area of the keyboard.

Are there USB lights based on Luxeon, XLamp, or other power LEDs?

I like the one Thinkgeek offers. http://www.thinkgeek.com/computing/accessories/5a84/
5mm LED but it works well for me -- lights up the entire keyboard of my 12" Powerbook.

Also, never tried this, but it's got 8 5mm LEDs: http://www.iogear.com/main.php?loc=product&Item=GCA158U
