Can you recommend a soft/warm/dim book light?

I'm looking for a clippable book lamp that has a soft yellow color to attach to my books for night reading. A cursory search seem to have the same bright halogen light, which I would like to avoid if I am using this before bed. Any recommendations?

This Ikea booklight! I needed one that had a nice warm glow(ie not those stupid blue-tinited led lights) for nighttime reading and this one is perfect - I actually ended up buying it on a whim at an actual Ikea, but looks like you can purchase it on Amazon!

I don't like lamps that clip onto to books, they're too dim or use button batteries. I prefer something that uses AAA or AA rechargeable batteries, so I've used red LED headlamps in the past but my current favorite is the Rayovac reading light (RLA3AAA) which is kind of bright (two white LEDs).

The 'original' Itty Bitty Book Light -- it uses replaceable incandescent bulbs. (And comes with battery or plug-in options.)
