Patti, I don't know if my eye Doctor would be recommending it? I mean? Bottom line, they are BRIGHT very versatile lights. I use them for many uses...mainly on pictures in my living room. However I have used them on my bench for working, and we have used them in camping situations for reading...so I would personally say YES! Just have plenty of batteries on hand or rechargables, as the leds do require plenty of power and will dull within an hour or so of being on high, which I would recommend for reading. P.S. 3" headboard? They look no more than 2" @ max, from what I see. Why NOT clamp it to the BOOK? Patti, I don't know if my eye Doctor would be recommending it? I mean?

I was able to attach it to a wooden headboard of a bunk bed. I'm not sure how thick it was but it was (guessing) 1.5 inches. But I wouldn't think it would have problems on your 3" headboard

Hello, happy to answer your questions. The neck of the light is about 9" long. The light part itself is about 3/4" wide and 2 1/8" long. The clip part is about 3" at the longest part. The light even on low (it has two settings) gives out a lot of light but does not keep me awake while my husband reads. We are very pleased with the light so far. Shipping was not real fast but acceptable. Hope this helps. Let me know if I can help further!

The entire length of the light is 11 1/2". I have never had any problems lighting up my page, but I mostly use it for my Kindle. You can just change the angle of light with the flexible neck and should have no problems.

Clip is reasonably strong. It clips well to a ball cap.it is plastic and like any plastic it will snap if stressed too much. I also like the light as a pocket light. I hope this helps.

I clip the light onto of my painter's easel (1 3/4" thick at the top of the easel). It would probably work on a headboard but would depend on how thick the headboard is. It looks like the clip opens to approximately 2 1/2".

The light is "adjustable" as to how bright your want it to be when you wake up. When you have it at the highest setting I think it is very bright. Everyone's sight is a little different due to age, etc. but in my opinion, this would be plenty light to read by. I hope this helps. I think this is a nifty little item and am very glad I purchased it!

it really depends on what you need done. If it is the only source of light it will not be bright enough in that size room for reading. In the evening.

The lamp is 14-15 inches high but the light it self get the 10 inches high. It's not appropriate for reading in bed, in my opinion. Maybe it adjusts to what you search.

I guess it looks ok as a complimentary lighting, like next to the bed. as a reading light though, I won't recommend it. I couldn't find a bulb bright enough though.

I like reading in bright light, but this would probably be too bright. I haven't tried it though.I doubt the angle would work very well either.

It is not too big for a average size hard cover book but I think it will be too bright to have it so close to the page. I cant get it to dim just on and off.This is a very good lamp. I would buy it. It also has legs that pull out from the side

It should work just fine - the clip attaches to the pages or the cover. I love my little light.

Yes to both. It is a reading lamp, not a mini book light. The clip is too big for a book -- it would tear up the pages and likely not hold well. It needs to be clipped to something solid, like a bedframe.

The clip has a relatively small opening. I doubt it. Also with a spinning bike and the movement, I would pick a light that has a sturdier "neck"

I have mine clipped to the edge of a wooden shelf above my laundry area. It can be aimed in almost any position, so it should work on your headboard. My only problem is that batteries don't keep the lamp bright long enough - they last long but keep getting dimmer and less useful. Does anyone know of batteries that stay bright for a long time?

It's as bright as any "real" candle. Personally I don't think it's suitable as a bedside lamp. Hard to say how many YOU might prefer for reading. Remember the base is about 3 1/2" in diameter so you'de need a fairly large nightstand. Also I think the flickering would get annoying. Abe may have done it, but I wouldn't recommend it at all. It may not bother you now, but you'll pay dearly for it in poor eyesight later in life.

When extended straight out -- lamp extends approx. 14 inches. I do not use for reading in bed but have the lamp on the wall next to my recliner where I sit and read my Kindle and the light helps a lot and does not interfere with the Kindle. I purchased 2 lamps and the other is on the wall over my desk and highlights my work area very nicely.
