Customer Reviews: Average Rating:  Rating :  - Best book light I have yet to find.
I happened to find this book light by accident, and what a happy accident it was!
I bought the Harry Potter version (because it was on sale for only $25 vs. the plain one being regular price at $35) and the only difference is that it comes with different buttons for the on/off switch that you can swap out depending on your mood. Otherwise it's exactly like the plain version - same size (sized to read hardcover books).
I also bought the soft case to store it in while not in use. (Very glad I got that!)
Pros:
I no longer bother my husband when I read in bed.
It puts light directly where I need it and I DON'T have to keep adjusting it.
It does NOT get hot.
It doubles as a bookmark.
The batteries last a LONG time!
The optional case protects it from scratches and keeps it clean when you are not using it as a bookmark.
Cons:
It gets dirty (smudged) quickly, even if your hands are clean (and you MUST be careful to use a good cleaner or it will get scratched - I use the spray I clean my eyeglasses with along with a special cloth and it works just fine).
The light may flicker a bit at times (I think because I must joggle the switch while moving it from one side of the book to the other) - just wiggle the "on" switch and it stops.
If you are reading a hardcover book it is the perfect size. If you switch to reading paperback books, it's over-sized and you must compensate by moving it around until you find an angle that is comfortable for you to hold both the light and the book. Otherwise you could buy the paperback size version of this light. (Things could be worse - I guess it's better to buy large and compensate for small vs. buying small and having to constantly move the light around for larger books - just FYI.)

I bought this LightWedge from Amazon and am very happy with it.
I then found the company's website (bigger and brighter dot com) and they have all the different versions (size, color, etc.) of LightWedge, all the accessories for the LightWedge, plus other things I had no idea existed to read a book with.
Their prices are very reasonable, their website is easy to use, and their customer service people are very nice to talk to on the phone. They respond quickly to emails, and are extremely accommodating.
I ordered one for my sister-in-law and my mom for Christmas.
All in all I would say this is a great book light experience. Enjoy! + See Full Customer Review |  |
