 Book Reading Light June 21, 2007

I've bought many book reading lights, but this is absolutely the best. The flex-neck allows the light to be evenly distributed over any book size, whether its paperback or hard cover.
The Lithium button cell batteries do seem to last a long time. If you buy them in bulk, it's not too expensive to replace, a much better option than the heavy rechargeable units.
It's now 2010, and have not found any reason to look for anything better from a weight, battery life, and function standpoint. I now have 3 for use in multiple locations.

This reading light is great, the flexing neck lets you bend it any way you need for where you clip it, the 2 LEDs put out just the right ammount of light to see both pages perfectly without throwing any light around the room, and for 10 bucks you just cant beat this. Best reading light ever.
Update: Been using this for several months now. Still like it very much.. the batteries are a little more expensive than AAAs would be, $5 for the 2 it uses if I remember correctly, but its worth it cuz theyre very lightweight.
Finally! A good book light. November 3, 2007

EDIT: April 2008
The manufacturer states we should get "30 hours of light from 2 CR 2032 batteries." I read a minimum of 3 nights a week for 30 minutes.
The light dimmed beyond usefulness after 2 months. While this meets the manufacturer's estimate, it is bothersome and expensive to replace the batteries which cost around $4 each.
NOTE: I have switched to using the Fulcrum Multi Flex LED Book Light (now $10.99 - noticed $5.99 December 07). This light takes 3 AAA batteries that I can buy inexpensively in bulk. The light weight, sturdy clip, and bendable neck is much the same. More light for the buck.

ORIGINAL POST:
The Great Point Light at $9.99 is a fabulous bargain! It weighs very little and feels as if it isn't there as I hold the book. The clamp stays put and easily attaches to both paperback and hardback books. It sheds just the right amount of light (something you'd think all book lights would do). The cap around the light keeps the light aimed at the page and allows me to read and my husband to sleep (or drive if we're in the car).
I have a bedside drawer full of substandard book lights including:
- Zelco's Itty Bitty Booklight bulbs burnt out quickly and were expensive to replace. I've owned three and all three neck pieces failed to stay up and over time kept falling down toward the book page.
- The Phorm Light Voyager at $24.99 was way overpriced and heavy, falling of paperbacks and adding to the weight of a hardback.
- Tectron's battery powered LED book light sheds so little light I had to keep moving it around as I read.
- Tote's Slim Clip is small which is good, but the clip doesn't hold many pages and comes off easily. Also, the light is a narrow focus and has to be moved around as you read.
- I have more, but you get the idea.
I'm buying more Great Point Light book lights in case they stop making them, the price goes up, and to have in different rooms of the house. Great for car too. Maybe I should just buy stock in the company!
The Best Reading Light I've Ever Used April 29, 2008

As an avid reader, my quest to find a good quality reading light that actually works finally ended when I ran across this light by LightWedge.
I've lost track of how many reading lights I have purchased in the past twenty years. Most all of them, in spite of my early high hopes upon seeing them in stores, ended up being either too heavy, too dim, too hard to attach to the book, too short on battery light, too unfocused in their light dispersion pattern, or any number of other problems too varied to remember right now. Most ended up in the trash after a few tries because they made the reading task more difficult and sometimes, too expensive, due to battery costs.
The LightWedge Flex Neck Reading Light is what I consider to be the first reading light that meets all my needs for a good reading light, and meets them well. The dual-LED light is bright and focused. The goose neck is flexible and long enough to be adjusted in almost any position with little problem. The switch to turn the light on and off feels well-built, and has a positive feel for both the on and off positions. The light easily and securely attaches to most any book, even paperbacks. And, if all that was not enough, I actually do get about 30 hours of usable light from two CR2032 batteries, and since you can purchase these batteries for about one dollar each online if you shop around, it's a bargain at that.
I wholeheartedly recommend this reading light as one of the only ones that has ever functioned the way a reading light should. I've used it ever since I found it.

This light is light enough to clip on any paperback, puts out just the right amount of light to read and covers the book well. Best of all its inexpensive - very good value. I had to buy more because my 8 y.o. son (avid reader) immediately ran off with mine!
