Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Cozy up to a good read day or night with the convenience afforded by this clever book light. Designed to attach to any soft- or hard-cover book's spine, the unit's dual white LED bulbs remain cool, operate with a simple on/off switch, and last for 100,000 hours without replacement--making it an environmentally responsible and eco-friendly option. Even more, its slender gooseneck arm aids in aiming light where needed most and retracts for storage when not in use. The unit comes outfitted with a handy page marker, which eliminates the need for turning down corners or losing one's place in a captivating novel, and its compact size stashes neatly in a bedside drawer or carry-on when traveling for business or pleasure. The dual LED book light requires three AAA batteries (not included) to supply 30 hours of continuous lighting, and it measures approximately 1-3/5 inches wide by 3/5 inch deep by 7-4/5 inches tall.

Product Description

The LED Bookmark Lite is an exciting new booklight using the latest LED technology. The dual, super bright cool white LED lights are fully adjustable on the metal gooseneck arm. The LED lights retract into the body when not in use. The LED Bookmark Lite easily attaches to the spine of any hardcover or paperback book. Keep it attached to your book when you are finished reading and use it as a page marker.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not the best book light, November 25, 2008

By	Scott Robinson (New York, NY USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The good: The light doesn't get in the way. Convenient way to store the goose-neck arm. The arm is very sturdy unlike those of Mighty Bright. It stays secure on the book.

The bad: The goose-neck arm isn't nearly long enough. It should be double its current length, in order to be positioned high enough to light the bottom of the page just as well as the top. The light quality itself is a blinding, harsh, cool white light - too bright, not at all pleasant to view at extended periods. It has a questionable build quality although it seems a bit better than the really cheap LED snake-like Mighty Brights (not saying much).

More bad:Most white LEDs have spectra that differ significantly from a black body radiator like the sun or an incandescent light. The spike at 460 nm and dip at 500 nm can cause the color of objects to be perceived differently under LED illumination than sunlight or incandescent sources, due to metamerism, red surfaces being rendered particularly badly by typical phosphor based white LEDs. There is also increasing concern that blue LEDs and white LEDs are now capable of exceeding safe limits of the so-called blue-light hazard as defined in eye safety specifications such as ANSI/IESNA RP-27.1-05: Recommended Practice for Photobiological Safety for Lamp and Lamp Systems.

Disclaimer: I picked this light up and receieved a defective unit with a broken on/off button. I did not replace it due to the above issues.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great little light, January 4, 2008

By	Mary (Cincinnati, Ohio United States) - See all my reviews

Plenty of light for reading and it disperses light over a large enough area that you don't have to keep adjusting it. The best reading light I've come across.

3.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good, November 17, 2007

By	S. Smith "Avid Reader" (Massachusetts) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This light is definitely bright enough for reading in bed. I like the fact that the little goose-neck lamp retracts into the base for storage and travel. My one complaint is that the light gets in the way when you are reading at the top of the page. You can angle it to be above the book, but I read in bed and by doing that, the bright light is right in my husband's face. Otherwise, a good purchase.
