Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of LightWedge Paperback LED Booklight
Customer Review: Awesome!
Summary: 5 Stars
Now I can read in bed and not bother my husband! Love it, Love it, Love it!Customer Review: Just right for the Kindle2
Summary: 4 Stars
When I got the Kindle2 Kindle Wireless Reading Device (6" Display, U.S. Wireless) for my birthday, I absolutely fell in love with it... except it wasn't back-lit, which makes it awesome on the eyes, but also makes it impossible to read in bed without having a bedside lamp on. When I researched book lights, I came across the Lightwedge Original Lightwedge Original Book Light (Ocean) and purchased it. Upon recieveing it, I tried it against my Kindle and it was way too big. Going back to amazon, I then looked for a smaller size. I found the Lightwedge Paperback Lightwedge Paperback - Black and it's just the right size to cover the Kindle's screen, but not the buttons on the side if it's held right.
I will admit, it's missing the 5th star because of the slight streakiness of the LED light source, but I understand that is how they work. It's still much better than trying to read in the total dark, and it doesn't annoy my husband when I read in bed, like some other lights have. I just turn it on and face the 'open glass' side towards the crease of my Kindle's leather cover Amazon Kindle Leather Cover (Fits 6" Display, Latest Generation Kindle) and the light doesn't bleed into the room.
Hope this helps other Kindle owners!
Customer Review: Great Reading Light!
Summary: 4 Stars
The key to this product is SIZE. Unless you're willing to invest in both the small & large book lights, I would suggest you choose the right-sized light for your reading life style. If you frequently read hard-back books, you will want to get this larger sized book light.
I have tried to use the large book light on my paperback novels, but after a half-hour of reading, the muscles in my right thumb and palm would cramp because I had to balanced both the book and the light.
In regards to the smaller light - I had just as much trouble reading a hard-cover novel. It was extra work just to get through a page (I felt like the scanner on a copier machine - only able to see sections of the page at a time). It wasn't relaxing at all.
Once you have sized the light correctly, this really is a good buy. I have enjoyed my book lights immensely. It's not a perfect product (the glass scratches quite easily), but truly, I would be lost without them. I travel often, and read a lot at night. And in my experience, the book light is not distracting to those around me who are trying to sleep.
Not to mention, it doubles as a great book mark! For those of you like me who can't help but lose our bookmarks - you'll understand the benefit of this.
Customer Review: Good reading light for paperback
Summary: 4 Stars
I had this book light for over a month and have been using it. It does have problems like other reviewers reported: scratched easily, non-uniform light across the plate (seeing ripple like patterns). There is one spot right between the 2 lights on the side that I found it's not bright enough. Luckily, this usually lands on the margin of a page.
Other than those, I like the light. It's bright enough to read comfortably and fit perfectly on a paperback page. For books of larger size, I tried turning it sideway, and scrolled down as I read along. I found it very convenient to keep the light inside the book as a bookmark. I can just close the book, turn off the light, set them aside, and fall right to asleep.
I wish there were a third light in the middle along with the 2 lights, that would have fixed the dark spot (and may reduce the ripple patterns?).
Customer Review: Good enough to seriously consider
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a pretty good product, but buying the paperback size and using it for larger books can be a bit annoying. Other bothersome things:
* The LEDs produce an interference pattern on the page if the light rests on the book directly. This is avoided by letting it sit just above the page.
* The plexiglass scratches very easily. The lens care kit and the soft case are necessities.
* The light is a little dim, but it is softer on the eyes than other book lights.
* Turning pages becomes a bit of an exercise, but you get used to it somewhat quickly.
Overall, its a good light that I would recommend - with accessories. The fact that you only need to change batteries and not lights is an added bonus.
