ok... i've looked at Best Buy, Office Depot, Staples, Target, Walmart, Radio shack. Nobody has them.

I'm looking for the USB light with the flexible neck that you can use while patrolling at night. I have had to jack-rig my streamlight to shine facing up in the charger to light up the car so i can see the keyboard, problem is that its very bright and lights my silhouette up nicely.... :(

where in the world can i find these things locally? I hate ordering online.

I couldn't find one with a red LED when I was looking, so I did have to order on line. If you have a Micro Center nearby they might have them.

Also, have you tried an Apple store, if you have one locally?

I guess that Charlotte isn't that close to you (3.5 hrs according to google) and I'm not sure if they have a show room, but Chief Supply has one:

Jotto DeskĀ® 12" Desktop Light (http://www.chiefsupply.com/Vehicle_Equipment/Communications_Organizers/Consoles/4252490)

I actually want to check out a place in charlotte but... i dont have a joto desk... i have its more economical brother the "Ghetto Desk" as mine flops all over... so i dont know if this will work but it is what I am looking for. Thanks!

worst case, if I dont find one by the time I go back in friday night i'll just bring a regular small clip light that plugs into my inverter :)

Get the jotto desk light. It will mount to any computer stand; I have a ram mount. It costs more, but is a very durable light and stays where you point it.
