Dot It Swivel LED Light, Black Review

Dot It Swivel LED Light, BlackI bought this light to illuminate a computer keyboard in low light. The computer is in the living room so I need a bright but not too bright light.I've been using a R14 miniflood light that works well but has a few problems.
Anyway, I went with Dot-It Linear Led Swivel because it has advantages over the miniflood.Below is a comparison with the miniflood lamp (winner has an asterisk) and additional pros and cons of the LED:

Cost: LED -- $11.52 Amazon price 1-08-10/ *Miniflood --~$4 + ~ $10 for light fixture.(Considering bulb only, but needs replacing about twice a year so LED wins in the long run if it really lasts 50k -100k hours).

Power Usage: *LED -- .25 Watt /Miniflood -- 25 Watt (LED by 100 times!!)

Light Output: LED -- 40 Lumens/ *Miniflood -- 140 Lumens (Lumens output from quick Google search, approximate.LED puts out plenty of light to see the keyboard.)

Mounting Ease:*LED -- Magnetic, Velcro, Sticky Pad /Miniflood - Clip
(LED more versatile, clip option would be nice.)

Power Source: *LED -- 3 AAA batteries / Miniflood -- 120 Volt outlet
(LED eliminates a wire and an outlet, always good around a computer.)

LED Pros
*Swivel works great -- about 140-degree range.
*Touch ON/OFF terminal works well.
*Never gets hot enough to burn you.
*Looks high tech and futuristic.

LED Cons
*Could be brighter and smaller
*Still uses batteries, rechargeables would solve that.
*Light has small bluish tint.Summary:Would definitely recommend this light as long as it is used for similar purpose. Bright but not super bright. Linear version spreads light. 7.13" L is OK but 1.8" W and 1.3" H. should be reduced.Can't comment on how long batteries, etc. last because I just received item recently.
