There are lots of stand lights on the market meant to serve a variety of uses, but if you don’t use one very often, investing in a pricey accessory may not be what you want to do. Or maybe you need something RIGHT NOW and don’t have time to shop for or order a fancy, uni-tasker like a stand light. In that case, you might want to try using a clip-on book light. They can be found in most bookstores (Barnes & Noble, Borders, etc.) and in many variety stores, often for very little money. Because they are battery-operated, they are also very portable, as opposed to many stand lights that have to be plugged in. If nothing else, they will do in a pinch and get you through that dim light gig.
