Favorite reading lights?

I like to read in bed at night and all we have now is a double bulb light in the center. I am going to add directional lights on the side of each closet next to the bed. Anyone have any favorites? I could also go directly over head installing them in the storage bins above the bed.

We have reading lights on the wall right above the bed. One on each side
Something similar to this but much nicer, no so plastic looking.

One of my projects before we travel next year will be the addition of better over-bed lights. Ours came with a single very bright LED which is useless for our normal bed time reading. As a Prime member AMAZON sent me a list of dozens if not hundreds and there are some decent choices there. Unfortunately I don't think I can attach a link without giving the world my personal ordering information to view.

I think I will check on Amazon. I was looking at one of my distributor catalogs, but didn't really see what I wanted there.

Thanks,

Steve

If you want a battery operated , small but bright light for reading a book. My wife uses a itty bitty book light from Barnes a Nobal book store. She uses it a lot and I can get some shut eye while she uses it.

I have one of those with a flexible light end -- and gotta say that it works but really isn't great. I'm hoping ;Santa' hears my plea and gives me a new Kindle Paperwhite with a background light, replacing the5-6 year old original version so I don't have to fool around with other lights
