amyx4 Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 We seem to have the worst luck with book lights. I just bought everyone a new one for Christmas and half of them are not working any more. Does anyone have a favorite brand or style? The kids like the kind that can clip to the book. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysteryJen Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 I have the ikea one- I do not recommend- it really isn't very bright and you go through batteries. My ds2 liked the mighty bright book light. Lightweight and really bright- I don't know how long it lasted- but I haven't heard any complaints.

LuvToRead Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 I love my Mighty Bright...I have 2. The first one still sorta works, but I have dropped it several times, and I think some of the wires of loose. It starts to dim, so I sort of flick it, and it helps. I ordered a second one, not realizing it is actually a music light. It is extremely bright! They don't go through batteries quickly. I just looked, and I ordered my 2nd one in June of 2016. So, my first one was probably purchased 2014 or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirty ethel rackham Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 I've never had good results with a clip on book light. My nightstand drawer was littered with ones that stopped working way too fast. I like the Light Wedge better. They last much longer and they don't blind you if you aim it the wrong way, which can be a problem for the driver if used in the car at night. (And it holds my book open.)

PeppermintPattie Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 I love this one: https://www.amazon.com/LuminoLite-Rechargeable-Brightness-Lightweight-Bookworms/dp/B076SVC7SN/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=book+light&qid=1553633547&s=gateway&sr=8-3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTVKath Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 I absolutely adore this amber colored booklight: https://www.amazon.com/SomniLight-Rechargeable-Amber-Book-Light/dp/B071XJZM5Y While there are 2 lights with low and high on each side, I almost always use only 1 light on low and that's enough for middle of the night reading. I struggle with insomnia from time to time and find this does not interfere with sleep and actually helps me get sleepy. I also like that it is rechargeable either with an outlet or through USB to my laptop. I've had mine at least 2 years and recently bought one for my 9yo DD who was reading too late at night. It has a clip for clipping onto books but I cannot speak to its effectiveness. I prefer putting the booklight on my chest facing the book.
