Everest Reading Light

Time for the latest installment of my ongoing, lifelong search for the perfect reading light.

On November 1 of last year I summarized the results of months of ultimately futile effort tracking down the ideal bedtime illuminator.

Today's candidate hails from Herreid Designs; it's called the Everest Reading Light.

"Take your reading experience to new heights with Everest."

Hey, I'm just quoting from the website.

"You'll get up to 100 hours of runtime from a single set of AAA batteries."

The copy doesn't specify if it's an LED or incandescent bulb.

I guess I'll find out when it arrives.

"Neck lanyard and integrated table stand make it perfect for traveling."

We'll see.

"I use it everyday at home."

As I said, we'll see.
