 In all fairness ... August 26, 2008

Neither of the negative comments posted about this adapter are exactly fair.
The first, which mentions they received the incorrect model number, is a vendor issue (as opposed to a problem with the product itself) so should have been posted in the vendor ratings section.
The second review stating that the product is useless because it doesn't charge batteries is perhaps a bit "misguided." Although many common devices now a days use the type of AC adapters that charge batteries, by no means should one assume that ALL AC adapters charge batteries. A bit more research prior to purchase could have prevented this situation. Obviously this reviewer believed they were getting something different than what they actually purchased and ended up being disappointed.
I've owned this adapter for probably about a year now, and think it's great. I went through three other brands of book lights and their AC adapters and was always having to send them back under warranty, paying shipping ever time. (Doesn't make much sense to pay for all those shipping costs since the book lights themselves are only $20 - $30 items.) My Might Bright book light and adapter are going strong and I use them for hours everyday. I'm so happy to have found a reliable book light and adapter!
It is true however that the instructions state to take the batteries out when using AC power, so if doing that isn't going to work out with how you'll be using the book light, you might want to look into another alternative. Personally, considering everything I went through with the other brands' mechanical failures, I'd rather buy two of these ... one to leave plugged in on the nightstand, and one to use with batteries for mobility. I don't find the battery door hard to remove, but if I had to swap between battery and AC on a daily basis, I'd probably just get two for the convenience.
Anyway ... in my opinion this adapter is a well-made, reliable product.
 Silly product, not useful for most of us. July 17, 2008

The AC adapter arrived today. The direction were written by lawyers and are rather useless.
Foolishly I had assumed that this device would charge the batteries in the lamp. Silly me: "Remove all batteries from the Light before inserting adapter plug."
Since the battery cover in the MightyBright is ***very hard to remove*** I had wanted a charger. I must have batteries in the lamp so I can read when traveling and am not near a power supply. As a result I must be able to charge the batteries.
Also I thought it would be good to keep the batteries topped off - as for the Kindle, cellphones, etc.
It looks like I'd better return this adapter.
This is a silly product.
Shipped wrong adapter April 6, 2008

The adapter we ordered was number 37372b. The one we received was #36332. The adapter clearly states that it is not for use with L.E.D. booklights. It is also the wrong voltage. Since the shipping and handling will exceed the cost of the adapter. I probably won't waste the time and money to get a refund. I just won't purchase from this vendor again.
