Today August 4th -- USB- or Battery-Powered Flex-Neck 2-LED Task Light $2.99

Have you ever been using a laptop in a dark room and have had to tilt the screen to provide light for your keyboard? That's just one situation you could change with today's deal from Daily Steals. They are selling the Great Point Light USB or Battery Powered Flex-Neck 2-LED Task Light with Two Replaceable Batteries for just $2.99.

They show a retail of $29.99, which I gigure is probably a bit overstated but at $2.99 (plus $5.99 shipping) you're getting a very convenient light for less than you'd find most anywhere.

This small task light has a lot of versatility since it can be powered by your laptop's USB port or it can run on batteries and be used for lots of other purposes -- reading books, doing some repairs under the sink or in a closet, etc.

This flexible reading light has a fully articulated neck that can be aimed wherever you need light. The two bright LEDs cast a broad, even pool of light that's easy to aim, and the neck holds them just where you want. A strong clip has soft grippers to grab and hold nearly any surface, and the head fits into the clip, forming a handy and secure loop for storage or travel.

Two replaceable CR2032 lithium batteries are included and will provide 20 hours of bright light. You can connect it to your USB port and not use the batteries at all.

The Flex Neck Reading Light has a lot of handy uses and could also make a nice gift for your favorite reader, traveler or student.
