I don't know. - I am not sure what you mean by the 'pool of light problem'. The size, intensity, and shape of the unit creates a bubble of light big enough that I had no problem with a hardcover book if that helps. @Woofb,

Can it be easily bought by Brits? How good is it at avoiding the pool-of-light problem one might have reading an e-book reader or dead tree book with a traditional booklight?

Reading, knitting, etc.- sure. Little fidgety things right in front of your eyes- probably not. When I solder, I usually take my glasses off and lean in- which would put the Beam N Read at an awkward angle. I'll have to try out the 2x lens, though, and see if it helps. @Fred

I'm just getting to the point where I need bifocals when I'm working on things up close. My job requires soldering small components and working on machines that need some extra light inside. Do you think that these lights would work for applications like that? Some guys i work with use the head mount lights, or the baseball cap with built-in lights, but I might want to try something different. Nice review, Mark.
