Customer Review: Lightwedge LED booklight

Summary: 5 Stars
I have had and used the lightwedge for about 5 years now and I love it.Being a bibliophile that enjoys reading in bed at night without disturbing my partner this is the perfect Booklight. I have tried every book light on the market and the Lightwedge is far superior to all others.My only regret is I didn't have one of these when I was a kid trying to read at night with a flashlight.The Lightwedge illuminates the entire page at once,not like other lights that have bright and dim spots.Plus ...when you find yourself getting sleepy just close the book on it and it makes the perfect bookmark.Customer Review: Lightwedge is a winner!

Summary: 3 Stars
I normally don't write reviews because others do a good job of it. So why should I interfere? I chose to write this review because I think this should be heard by the creator and consumer alike.
The wedge design is unique and attractive. Even so, it is fragile and needs to be protected when transporting it. I think that it should have come with a velvet or similar type protector pouch or bag. I understand that these can be purchased separately but that isn't exactly a luxury optional accessory and therefore shouldn't have to be purchased in that manner.
Some aspects of the lightwedge need improvement or redesign. I know that some people have light sensitive significant others and for that reason want this product because it doesn't have a lot of stray light. The lightwedge has stray light streaming out of the edges of the clear plastic. If your reading the page on the right/left of the book the lightwedge sits on that page you're reading. So you have a 50% chance out of 2 pages that your pointing the light right at him/her. This could be fixed if the creator would just put a strip of light absorbing or reflecting material on the edge or they could just "frost it" to disperse the light a little. My other complaint is a black hole located around the halfway point near the battery and light compartment. This black hole could be corrected by simply installing a 3rd led light in the middle of the unit. This would probably not significantly affect the life of the battery noticeable by the user and would make reading easier for the eyes instead of dilating the iris and making me think that reading in the dark is wrong and this is my punishment. My third complaint has to do with the lighting as well. Why are there ripples in the light? I know some cheap leds produce a ring of focused light with noticeable dark spots but this looks like it was intended by the makers but why? If it is needed for functionality then could they just tune it down a notch or smooth out those ripples so it doesn't look like I'm reading through a pane of machined glass?
I gave 3 out of 5 stars because of the defects and lack of the, what I feel was necessary, travel bag. I would consider buying this again in the future if it was upgraded with my and other improvements applied.
Customer Review: Love this BUT
Summary: 4 Stars
I love this book light, it is my second. I really loved my first one. it had two levels of brightness. this one only has 1 but is still a good product. Just a little bright some times. With the first one if I woke up in the middle of the night unable to sleep I could turn the light down and read. This one is too bright for that, It hurts your eyes if you try to turn it on after waking late at night.
