Found this at a Target in Bowie, MD. It's an LED reading light made by Rayovac.

I normally use a PT Aurora for reading in bed, but this looked like a better solution. It runs on 3 AAA's and there is a lever which lets you tilt the LEDs for proper aiming. It's a GREAT concept, but poorly executed. I found that even in the most downward position, the beam aimed too high. Also, the LEDs are in the top of the unit, in line of sight of the reader's eyes, causing glare problems.

I'm bummed since the LEDs have nice output and I much prefer this reading light concpet to a headlamp. Rayovac needs to go back to the drawing board with this product. Makes you wonder if they even bothered testing prototypes before going into production. Another annoyance is that you need to remove a tiny philips head screw to access the battery compartment. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mecry.gif
