To raise the light, there is a ratchet mechanism ...

To raise the light, there is a ratchet mechanism to hold the light in different positions. I highly doubt the little plastic ratchet gears, will last longer than 1 year. (which is when warranty runs out). If you rarely read books, this light will last a long time. If you are an avid reader, I see the plastic casing, housing, whatever you call it, falling in a short time, due to opening and closing the light (ratchet gears), on a frequent basis.
