LightWedge Original LED Book Light Review
See more picture
I have purchased several reading lights and always found myself either needing a brighter light, or having to adjust the position so I could read all the letters on a page. I recently discovered the lightwedge and love it. It provides light across the entire page (because it lays on top of the page) there is no adjusting of anything to get to the end of the page. Because the lightwedge lies on top of the page being read, highlighting or inserting notes is a little challenging but it can be done.

For avid readers who have spent many an hour squinting in dim light, LightWedge created this innovative LED book light. It lies flat on the book page, creating the impression that the book itself glows while illuminating each word without distortion or glare. Compatible with books of all sizes, the book light minimizes readers’ optical duress and discomfort whether brightening a thick, new hardback or used paperback. p Equipped with LED technology, this book light eliminates the problem of faulty or burnt out bulbs associated with many other book lights. Four AAA batteries power the book light for up to 40 hours, making it an ideal companion for a long flight or car ride. The book light features a high quality acrylic lens, a similar construction to that of a pair of reading glasses. Two levels of brightness enable readers to adjust the book light to suit particular environments and optical capabilities with a simple, one-touch button. For best results, clean the book light like other optical equipment with a lens cleaner and a soft, micro-fiber cloth. Storing the book light within a book or a protective case prevents scratches, dust and other debris from obstructing the lens surface, while extending the light’s longevity. Batteries are not included with the book light. The book light measures 6-3/4 by 9-1/4 inches and weighs 8-1/2 ounces. i--Jessica Reuling/i
Imagine a pane of bright, even light illuminating only the page you are reading. That's the idea behind LightWedge. No glare, no stray light to disturb others. Just rest it on the page and read. Now, imagine what you could do with a light like that.

Great for night readers - Veronica -
Bought this for my BF, we work opposite shifts so he's up at night when I need to sleep. This allows him to read his books and me to continue sleeping.
Good product with limitations - Eagle Vision - Southeastern United States
I read books at night, frequently, so I purchased this product so I wouldn't disturb my wife. This light source is simple in design: tiny LED lamps illuminate a thin piece of plastic (working similar to a fiberoptic lamp Lumisource LS-FO SPRAY Fiber Optic Spray). It is about the dimensions of a full sized book and the black handle which houses the battery/light source is somewhat bulky. A small button toggles the light intensity from low to dim to off.br /br /USEbr /br /Place the item on the page that you want to read, push the button to the light intensity that you desire (allow your eyes to adjust to the darkness, which may take a minute or more), and flip the item to the other page to read. As you turn the page, you will need to take the item out, and place it back into the book.br /br /In concept, this product is ideal. You have a light source that is limited to the pages that you are viewing. However, even on the highest intensity (let's call it dim and dimmer), the light is still somewhat low. What can you read with this item? Books that have high contrast paper (glossy pages are most ideal since the reflective proper of the paper allows for better view). Conventional novels are a bit more difficult to read. Magazines are impossible unless you read on your stomach with the magazine placed on the bed. Furthermore, pictures are difficult to see, at best.br /br /DURABILITYbr /br /Like any screen on a laptop, I placed a SCREEN PROTECTOR on my lightwedge to prevent scratches. Any scratch with transmit uneven light (more than usual).br /br /Given that LEDs have very little power requirements, I have had the same batteries in the unit for the past 3 years, and it is still running.br /br /DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONSbr /br /More LED bulbs along the 'spine' of the handle would improve the light intensity.br /br /A thinner, scratch resistant plastic with a lighter handle would be a marked improvement.br /br /VERDICTbr /br /Knowing the limitations and tendency for scratches, it is an innovative product that still has good uses. You will need to try this product for yourself, before you can decide if it works for you.br /br /
