Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of LightWedge Original LED Book Light
Customer Review: It works.
Summary: 3 Stars
Let me preface this by saying that this does what it's supposed to do, in that if I turn off the lights, and turn on the LightWedge, I can read what's on the page.
However it's by no means as wonderful as the advertising makes it out to be. Frankly, it's not that bright. It's not so much a glowing page you're reading, as a sort of unevenly lit pair of LEDs at the side of your page (and then the reflection of said LEDs off the opposite page). The glass has the effect of lighting the margins of the page better than the center, which would be useful if they put the text in the margins and left the center of the page blank.
The product image shows a beautifully lit page glowing like a laptop screen. This is by no means the case. I'm not sure that it's worse on the eyes than a more traditional booklight, but it's definitely worse than having a table-lamp on. Maybe I was expecting too much.
Given its price in comparison to other booklights, I expected more. Still, I can read text through it, and I do like that it's not very heavy and serves as a sort of giant bookmark, so ... 3 stars it is.

Summary: 4 Stars
Great for reading in bed. It would be really great if it were a magnifying glass then I would not have to wear my reading glasses.Customer Review: LED Book Light

I carried this in a book case and it got scratched up. It would be nice if it came with a case. It is the best book light I have used except for the scratching problem. Although you are supposed to be able to use it as a bookmark, I usually read more than one book at a time, so I don't use it that way. I would like a case so it wouldn't get scratched up so when I carry it with me all of the time, I can use it with whatever book I want to read. I carry more than one book at a time also.Customer Review: Light wedge saves marriages
Summary: 5 Stars
I LOVE the light wedge! It will save marriages if one spouse cannot sleep with the light on while the other reads! The light wedge does not shine anywhere other than within the book. It is a great and easy shape to pack as well.Customer Review: LightWedge Book Light

I bought this version of the LightWedge Book Light and the smaller one for paperback books. Both lights perform very well, but both of them have small blemishes in the glass which interfer slightly when reading. A modest annoyance, but still an annoyance, especially considering that these lights cost $25 each. The smaller one is brighter than the large one and is adequate for reading both paperback books and larger, hard-cover books. I would buy the lights again, but probably only the smaller size, and I wish LightWedge would do a better quality control job on their product. I asked Amazon to replace both units which they did quickly and easily; however, both replacement units still had small blemishes. I decided to keep them anyway because except for that, the lights do a good job when I'm reading in bed
