LightWedge Original LED Book Light, Black

My wife bought the wedge for me and I was so displeased I had to comment on here, which I never thought I would. The light is very spotty and extremely dim in many spots. Even tried new batteries thinking this was the problem. Would not recommend at all. Nicely packaged, but stick to $5 book light.

If the photos of how this product lights a page were only HALF accurate, it would have been a good purchase. Lightwedge is worse than nothing. The puny light makes arcs around the insufficient TWO LEDs that are its source, the middle of the page is dark and distorted, and only the far edge projects any brightness at all. You can see more with a good LED flashlight!

I bought this in October and used it to read on an 8 hour plane ride. It was great. The 'reading light' on the plane was too high and caused glare on the tv screen for other passengers. I not only had the light just where I needed it (on the entire page of the book) but the passengers around me were in better humor as well!

I recommend it for anyone. I got the larger version but the book I was reading was paperback and fit it just fine, maybe it was a large paperback? Do get the cover, it seems like it will scratch easily.

I think cleaning it with a product for plastic lenses would be a good idea.

I use the LightWedge to read in bed and bought it so the light wouldn't disturb my husband. We both think it works great; however, be mindful of the translucent versus solid colored casing in terms of light escape.

The translucent lets the light escape through its clear casing and scatter throughout the room. So, if disturbing others around you is an issue then buy a solid colored casing.

Overall, the LightWedge is a must buy for anyone who likes to read before going to bed and while traveling. I have 2 more suggestions: 1) buy the case covering to protect it when not in use 2) buy a LightWedge with different light settings, if possible: a high and a low. For example, when I wake in the middle of the night and can't fall asleep, I get out my book to read. The problem is that my current LightWedge has only one light setting. This can be so bright, it almost hurts to read and how I mumble and curse myself for not being a more mindful consumer.

This is my second one of these that I've purchased. As others have stated they do scratch very easily even with excellent care and keeping them in their bag. That would be my only complaint. Otherwise, they are great for nighttime reading and keeping you from disturbing others.
