LightWedge Paperback LED Booklight

The light on the page looks NOTHING like it does in the photo of the product. The light is very dim and uneven. It's the unevenness that makes the page hard to read. It makes it very difficult to scan your eyes across the page to read more than a couple of words at a time. So if you're reading anything technical, you can't see an entire mathematical equation or a line of computer code all at once.

The problem might easily be solved by the company inserting a few more LEDs in the product to fill in the dark spots. But they haven't addressed this for many years and don't seem likely to.

I bought a better book light that has a fluorescent bulb. It works beautifully and illuminates the page very evenly so that I can see the whole page at a glance.

The plastic scratches extremely easily. The lights throw stips of light across the page instead of lighting the whole page. It is relatively heavy to hold along with the book. Altogether it was very disappointing. Not too bad in bed when it is really dark and there are pillows to support it.

I love this product but have not figured out a good way to turn the page without taking out the light wedge. If someone has a solution, let me know

I love this book light, it is my second. I really loved my first one. it had two levels of brightness. this one only has 1 but is still a good product. Just a little bright some times. With the first one if I woke up in the middle of the night unable to sleep I could turn the light down and read. This one is too bright for that, It hurts your eyes if you try to turn it on after waking late at night.

I purchased this for my father's birthday and gave it to him a couple days ago. What a disappointment! I put Duracell batteries in this and was all exited to see him use it since he reads constantly. I nearly cried when I saw the waves of light going across the page of his book. The light was uneven and made the plastic look like it was badly rippled. We put different batteries in and the exact same result. Shadows and ripples across the page that made it unreadable. I was so excited to find a such a perfect gift for his birthday and now I feel lousy for giving him such a piece of junk. He thanked me and put it up on a shelf. I'm certain he will never use it. I know I wouldn't!

I wish I had the foresight to take a photo of my LightWedge in action so everyone can see the bad performance of this thing. I wish I had paid more attention to the negative reviews and not wasted my money.
