Love it [updated]--but lights shut off after about 10 min
The first one I bought had this problem. I returned it and ordered another. Now the new one is doing the same thing. Just press the buttons again and the lights come back on. Actually I think I will keep it because I like it so much, I'll just tolerate the sudden lights-out. But there's some quality control problem here. With anything made in China I expect inconsistent workmanship, which is why I thought I got a bad one and would order another. This company is located in Colorado but probably the product is not made there. Two bad ones in a row, what a waste of material to make things with such poor consistency. Otherwise it is well designed and seems put together with precision. It is a great reading light--my eyes feel 20 years younger! LATER - NOT WORKING AT ALL The second one has the same problem but worse, lights do not stay on for more than a couple minutes once it has been on for a few minutes. Something overheating? I was willing to put up with 10 min re-sets (the first one went off, both bulbs, every 10 min or so) but this is unusable. And two in a row, different colors, with the same problem---serious quality control issues here. Returns are "easy" but still shoddy products are insulting and inconvenient. I see criticisms from others that the thing is heavy. doesn't stay put on neck if you move around, and generates heat. All true. I loved the bright light right on my book, and was willing to overlook these things but now it just plain doesn't work.
