(More customer reviews)I bought two of these from Lightology in Chicago about a year ago.After many quarrels about turning on my reading light in the middle of the night, my wife and I took a trip and stayed in a hotel that had LED reading lights mounted above the headboard on each side of the bed.Turning this on did not disturb her at all.She asked me to find something like that.I tried to find that same fixture, but the closest I could come was a fixture made in England that isn't available here.I tried several different models that I bought from Lowe's, Target, OfficeMax, etc. but took all of them back because they were ill-designed and cheaply made.Most of them had goosenecks with multi-LEDs that sagged because the LED "head" was too heavy.They only pointed at the wall.I decided to buy the Night Owl only after the sales person at Lightology promised I could return it if I didn't like it.She added, "You won't return it, you will love it."She even threw in a first time buyers discount, so I ended up paying $[...], instead of $[...].

We love it!It's made very well and the 3-position (high, off, low) switch is very high quality, like you would find on an aircraft or professional sound equipment.The single, 1-watt LED is attached to an 18-inch gooseneck that is also like you would find on professional equipment.The LED throws a small, bright spot of light that is perfect for reading.When you turn it on in a dark room, it hardly lights up anything except what you aim it at.It looked a little peculiar, at first, sort of like a giant insect antenna rising out from behind our headboard, but now we're used to it, and think it looks modern.
We ordered the pin-up version, and it was tricky to attach it to the wall.I didn't have a major problem, but I used to troubleshoot guided missiles and the electronic equipment used to test them.If you aren't used to DIY, here's how:
The instructions cover the canopy version, but don't tell you how to install the pin-up, and how to do it is not self evident.You need a very small allen wrench (which is not included) for a tiny set screw that holds the fixture to a mounting plate.First, you need to detach the fixture from the mounting plate, a procedure that is poorly illustrated and not described.Then, you attach the mounting plate to the wall using the two small screws (supplied), paying close attention to which end of the mounting plate is "up."You need to hold the fixture very firmly against the mounting plate, while you tighten the set screw, or the fixture will wobble, and if you drop and lose the set screw, you have to go to the hardware store for a replacement, they don't include any extra ones.Your best insurance is to take the fixture to the hardware store, and buy the allen wrench and extra set screws at the same time.If you can do all that, and you need an excellent quality reading light, this is it.
