When I am in low light and I play my old Gameboy Color (which I have had since the age of 13), I use my Energizer head lamp. I don't know the lumen value, but it is the model that takes two coin batteries, and is not that bright.
Another suggestion for reading a book a night with no electricity in the house, I would suggest an MX 991/U Made by Fulton. If you don't know what that is, that is the anglehead flashlight used by the US Military.It uses a PR6 vacuum bulb which already has a low lumen value, and can be made even dimmer by using the included red lens filter. This was designed so soldier would read maps at night without distrubing their night vision.
If you are willing to spend a great deal of money, get a Sure Fire A2 Aviator, with the red LEDs. The lumen value of them is quite low, but it also comes with a high powered Xenon bulb. Of cousre it can be switched between the LED's and incandescent. This light I think was developed so pilot's could read their instrument panels at night, and this flashlight is my most coveted.
