Amazon with 360buy has the 13 LED Flexible USB Light Lamp for $2.88 with free shipping. Features flexible stainless steel neck, USB bus powered, plug it in to light up immediately.
For those of you that want this type item, they are plenty bright, and meet the needs for the poor typist. The down side is that this design is weighty on the USB socket. I have a similar model for travel, but when at home, I have a version that has it's own base (and a stem with a fan also). It cost a few more dollars, but it also does not stress the laptop's USB ports.
but one issue on top of the screen is that even if your laptop keyboard and surrounding area is a matte finish, some of the light is still reflected towards your eyes creating a minor glare so you need more light for the same visibility.
Better is something that has more aiming and mounting location options, possibly this?

Not worth the chance of striking the light and breaking your USB port.
Is there any light that can be hung on the top of the laptop screen? It would solve the weight issue, though that would not apply to this deal.
^ yes there are some,
