Book light

A book light comprising:

• a left arm having a proximate and a distal end, an inner and an outer surface, left wire guides on said outer surface, and a left arm cover which extends from said proximate end to said distal end of said left arm and fits over said left wire guides;
• a right arm parallel to said left arm having a proximate and a distal end, an inner and an outer surface, right wire guides on said outer surface of said right arm, and a right arm cover which extends from said proximate end to said distal end of said right arm and fits over said right wire guides;
• a support arm which extends from said inner surface of said left arm to said inner surface of said right arm;
• a head having a left and a right surface, a light assembly, said head being pivotally attached to said proximate end of said left arm at said left surface of said head and being pivotally attached to said proximate end of said right arm at said right surface of said head;
• and
• a rectangular body having a left, a right, and an inner surface, a clip on said inner surface, an on/off switch, and a battery compartment, said rectangular body being pivotally attached to said distal end of said left arm at said left surface of said rectangular body and being pivotally attached to said distal end of said right arm at said right surface of said body;
• a first stop near the distal end of each said left arm and said right arm for preventing the improper rotation of said rectangular body;
• whereby said head can be pivoted to direct light where desired or said head and said rectangular body can be pivoted so that the book light functions as a free-standing desk lamp.
