Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of LightWedge Paperback LED Booklight
Customer Review: Good reading light for paperback
Summary: 4 Stars
I had this book light for over a month and have been using it. It does have problems like other reviewers reported: scratched easily, non-uniform light across the plate (seeing ripple like patterns). There is one spot right between the 2 lights on the side that I found it's not bright enough. Luckily, this usually lands on the margin of a page.
Other than those, I like the light. It's bright enough to read comfortably and fit perfectly on a paperback page. For books of larger size, I tried turning it sideway, and scrolled down as I read along. I found it very convenient to keep the light inside the book as a bookmark. I can just close the book, turn off the light, set them aside, and fall right to asleep.
I wish there were a third light in the middle along with the 2 lights, that would have fixed the dark spot (and may reduce the ripple patterns?).
Customer Review: Great Book Light

I bought this for my Father in Law. My Mother in Law did not like the light on in bed when he was reading. He tried a flashlight, etc. to solve the problem. This was the resolution. No bleed from the light, but very bright on the page. He's very happy.Customer Review: Great Concept, but I could do without the scratches.

This is a great concept, but the plexiglas is slightly cloudy and splotchy in places. It came with some scratches at the bottom that are noticeable when you are reading. Most of the defects are not noticeable when reading, but ... still. Come on, Lightwedge. It's NEW. Clean up your quality control.
However, it is great to be able to read at night without bothering the spouse. I would buy another one, even with the scratches, but I could sure do without them. It is the only drawback to the product.
Customer Review: Great Reading Light!

The key to this product is SIZE. Unless you're willing to invest in both the small & large book lights, I would suggest you choose the right-sized light for your reading life style. If you frequently read hard-back books, you will want to get this larger sized book light.
I have tried to use the large book light on my paperback novels, but after a half-hour of reading, the muscles in my right thumb and palm would cramp because I had to balanced both the book and the light.
In regards to the smaller light - I had just as much trouble reading a hard-cover novel. It was extra work just to get through a page (I felt like the scanner on a copier machine - only able to see sections of the page at a time). It wasn't relaxing at all.
Once you have sized the light correctly, this really is a good buy. I have enjoyed my book lights immensely. It's not a perfect product (the glass scratches quite easily), but truly, I would be lost without them. I travel often, and read a lot at night. And in my experience, the book light is not distracting to those around me who are trying to sleep.
Not to mention, it doubles as a great book mark! For those of you like me who can't help but lose our bookmarks - you'll understand the benefit of this.
Customer Review: Great for People On the Go
Summary: 4 Stars
I decided to purchase the paperback version of this item because I'm an avid reader who travels frequently. I love the design as well as the products ability to illuminate the entire page. Other book lights were either flimsy or cumbersome. Unhappy with how easy it was to scratch, I recently made an additional purchase along with the soft cover which remedied the problem. It's very durable and the batteries seem to last a long time. I would reccomend this item for purchase.
