Editorial Reviews and Product Descriptions

Product Description

A Different Kind of Book Light The LightWedge is an efficient book light with a streamlined design. A lighted, distortion-free acrylic lens extends across the book page and emits all the brightness directly onto the book page, reducing shadows and glare. Since the light is emitted directly onto the page, there's no excess reflection to disturb others nearby. The LightWedge is thin and lightweight and easily slips into a backpack, tote bag, or briefcase. Also, when not in use, it is useful as a convenient bookmark stored between a book's pages. The bright LEDs that illuminate the LightWedge have two brightness levels and a lifetime warranty. The light can run for 40 hours on four AAA batteries. The LightWedge can rest on the left page and then simply be flipped over to read the right page. The LightWedge has these great features:

everybody wants one of these - Reviewed on 2008-03-19

Every time someone sees this, they comment on it and seem to want one of their own. We love the LightWedge. It's easy on the eyes and is not as hard to maneuver as you'd think it would be.
Far less useful than promised in its description & marketing materials.... - Reviewed on 2007-12-20

We are so disappointed. I ordered a LightWedge Original for each of us, as we like to read in bed, on airplanes, etc. They just arrived last week. We so wanted to love this product. However, it doesn't illuminate the whole page as described but just radiates one thin pale strip of light at the spine and around the edges, plus it throws a couple thin horizontal strips of light across the page. Talk about eye strain! I see some of the happy reviewers mentioned having two brightness settings. Our model has only an "on/off" switch. I expressed my disappointment & displeasure in an email to the manufacturer but got only a response suggesting we'd either used old, weak batteries or inserted them wrong. I replied that the batteries were fresh from the package, etc., but have had no further communication from them.This product is woefully overpriced for what you get. I'll be shipping them back to Amazon and asking for a refund.

I bought this light for my husband from a local Borders store. What a disappointment! It has very poor light, and only one setting for brightness. Must be a new style. The enclosed pamphlet says there are two settings for brightness, but a sticker on the outside of the packaging says that it has a new one setting for brightness. Not a good idea, as that one setting is not bright enough, OR we had a defective light. Back it went to the store. We are thinking about checking out the Phorm light.

I have had this booklight for about 4 years now. I use it every single night and I only change the batteries 2-3 times a year. It is the only light I have found that doesn't disturb my husband and lets me read clearly.

I got this for my 14 year old son after his "book light" broke. He is no "book worm" or "nerd" for sure... but he does enjoy reading. This came about by no accident. We used to double his allowance if he spent the money on books and so that is what he did.

This light wedge puts the light right on the page and no where else so it is very directed light and he can read in a car at night on a long trip without interferring with others. It has a couple of brightness settings and uses low draw LEDs so it will operate for many many many many hours on a single set of batteries. Very well made too... the thing isn't going to break. Very well designed--I highly recommend it.

Now and then I look in on my son after it is lights out for the night... his bedding is "tented" and his head is under the covers and he has his light wedge in there and he is reading. I pretend not to notice... he is "sneaking" around reading books!!!
