Spike Light (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First -- here is how to replace the batteries.

Line up the spike with the arm.With your right hand, grab the round section between your thumb and your index finger.Place your index finger on the top round part where the flexible arm attaches, and put your thumb against both the spike and the arm, but not touching the bottom cylinder.This will stop the middle section from rotating.

Now with your left hand, grab the cylinder on either side of the spike.Twist a half turn clockwise.It will unlock and detach in your hand.

If it is spinning 360 degrees, you are doing it wrong.If it is difficult to turn, you are doing it wrong -- you shouldn't have to force it.

It will be easy to put it back in place.Just line up the tabs with the slots, then twist a half turn counter-clockwise to lock back into place.---

Now for my review.The battery pack is confusing and apparently easy to break, given all the complaints about it here.It is not the least bit intuituve, and there is no indication on the packaging of how to do it.This seems like a pretty huge oversight to me.

It is alright as a book light.It is a bit dim, however the light is very smooth and even which is often not the case with LED lights.

The "spike" mechanism for anchoring the light to the book is really nice.The normal method of clipping the light to the cover or some pages always slips off and sometimes even damages the book.This slides right in place, keeping the light where you want it.

I bought this as a gift for someone, but I decided against giving it to them after trying it for myself.Overall, it's just not good enough.
