Product Description
For Personal Light Anywhere, that doesn't disturb others. It's a true reading light that works with ALL Kindles, Nooks, and other eReaders (whether naked, skinned, or covered), printed books, PLUS newspapers, loose documents, maps and other material that can't support a clip-on "book" light. Called the "best Amazon Kindle reading light" and the "best personal reading light we have come across," by a major travel blog. This hands free light delivers features, accessories, battery life and versatility unmatched by other portable lights. A wide light from 3 bright LEDs in row lights up personal space for reading, crafts, travel, and walking in dim or dark places such as an attic, basement, or around the house during a power outage. Standard alkaline AA batteries (a set is included) last 120 hours at full brightness, far longer than clip-on lights, and resulting in a lower cost to use (and fewer batteries in the trash). A unique feature is the clip-on red filter that helps maintain night vision or can be used to reduce ambient light for ultra-sensitive sleeping companions! It's the only portable light that offers optional AC and vehicle DC power adapters and a magnifier kit with 3 clip-on acrylic Fresnel Magnifiers. Worn around the neck, it shines a cool & steady light for writing journals, working, camping, and changing diapers at night. A product review sums it up saying, "An item you weren't sure you needed quickly becomes indispensible". The Beam N Read family of Hands Free Lights also includes the BNR LED 6-3 with 6 LEDs for an extra wide & bright light, 2 filters & 1 magnifier; BNR LED 103m with 3 LEDs and 3 clip-on Magnifiers; the LED 6 w4F with 6 LEDs and 4 colored filters, and the LED P with 6 red LEDs. Select 'All Departments' and type 'Beam N Read' In the Search Box to see a list of Beam N Read products.

When I travel, either on a train or a plane, i find there is limited amount of light to read a book. No matter how or where you sit in your seat, there is no light available or limited amounts. I bought this devise to get more light on a recent train trip. well IT worked better than i thought.
After adjusting the light around my neck (which in my opinion is the largest setback to this being a 5 star product), there was enough light for me to read the novel on a train trip.
For those of you who want a light when you travel, i say get this and enjoy your trip

This light is nice and bright. Once you get the neckband adjusted to your liking, then it's great...but don't move or you may have to readjust! (See PS below) It's a good light-is much brighter than most lights but the neckband is annoying. Perhaps making a 'padding-type- thingy' to go around where it hits your neck will help -it would. I bought this not for reading but for crafts for working with small objects (but mine has 3 strenghths of magnification that can be attached). I give it 3 stars for great light but annoying neckstrap. (PS: I shorten my strap so it lies much better against my upper chest which aids the light in shining more towards my lap where my book is. This also helps with the readjustment issue I first mentioned-When it's shorter, there is less length to get 'unadjusted'= so you just slide it back to your chest). The only other con is it is rather large=doesn't fit into pockets made for eReaders. I use one of the tiny/miniature backpacks which gives me lots of room to carry my reader, this light, the magnifiers, PLUS my 'other' light, and my charger, etc and more. Works well. You'll love this light if that above doesn't bother you.

Amazon Verified Purchase
Love it - really great for power outages. Much more practical than a head lamp or a clip on book lamp. I also bought one for the husband even though he insisted he didn't need one. He now uses it almost nightly for reading in bed. Haven't used it yet for crochet, but plan to. I think it would be great for that as well.
11/26/2010 update: We just came off a three day power outage from a series of large snow storms. Our Beam N Reads were amazing - put it around your neck and go on your way in the dark hands free. With good batteries (not the ones they come with) they last forever. We didn't have to worry about changing batteries even though we had plenty on hand. We don't know what we would do without them. A wonderful, practical gift - better than a lot of usless junk out there! And it works so well for crafts even when you have power - especially if working with dark colored textiles.
May 2012 Update: Well, went to turn it on the other night and it just went "POP!" and no longer works. There is rattling now. One we bought not even a year ago for a friend just did the same thing to him a couple of weeks ago. Trying to debate on buying another - it is so indispensable, but I don't want to buy them every two years.
