Tools and Hardware Reviews of Fulcrum Multi-Flex LED Task Light, Silver
Customer Review: Phenomenal Cheap Light
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been through a lot of book lights and this is the best I've found so far. Here's what I like:
1) Uses AAA batteries - other lights I've had use watch batteries and cost as much as replacing the whole light when they run out.
2) LED light - this light is nice, bright, and doesn't chew through batteries as quick as other technologies
3) Light lens - This light has a lens that focuses the light on the page, rather than scattering light everywhere.
4) The neck of the light - The neck of this light moves around in a lot of different directions, but doesn't get deformed from use, as has been my experience with other lights.
For the price, this is the best deal I've found.
Customer Review: Light works...but the shade of light is blinding
Summary: 2 Stars
I know this is solely a personal preference...but trying to read a book that is illuminated by a LED light is BLINDING. it gives you a headache and makes you squint. Well, that is at least what I experience when I use this light. I went to a local crafts store and bought a single sheet of transparent light yellow paper and taped it to the light so that a yellow tint light illuminates my books. Now, the light is more natural looking and I don't have to squint and I don't get headaches. The LED lights extend the battery life DRAMATICALLY however...and I'm glad for that. I just give this a 2 star rating because they could have tinted the plastic lens covering the LED lights so that the light wasn't so blinding...Customer Review: Some minor complaints but pretty good for the price
Summary: 4 Stars
So I bought the Fulcrum LED light based on the great reviews. I'm not at all disappointing but there are a few things I don't like that I want to point out:
- Although the base is small, it's a little larger than I expected. It's not really that grippy so it tends to slip around a bit. It works ok on paperbacks.
- The light is quite bright, which is great for reading of course! But there's also a pretty good chance of disturbing a bedmate
- I've noticed that the light flickers sometimes. Haven't figured out exactly what it is yet. Might be when it's warming up or a sign the batteries should be replaced. But it ends up stabilizing.
Overall a purchase that I am happy with!
Customer Review: Perfect book light!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book light is perfect for illuminating the full pages in an open book - even a paperback (clip the light to about 30 to 50 pages and it stays put just fine). It is by far the best book light I have found - and I'm a complete addict for reading books in bed. I especially like the the fact that the light is shielded from hurting your eyes while casting more than sufficient light on the book. The battery life is amazing. Three triple A batteries are still very light weight and sufficiently small to be used in a book light. Also, this light makes a great replacement for a candle in a power outage. Since it sits flat on a shelf, table, etc, it illuminates a whole room during a power outage.Customer Review: excellent value
Summary: 5 Stars
This light has a wide expanse to light up the pages of any book very well for night reading. It lights up both pages of a paperback and does an excellent job with my kindle. I have to angle it slightly to the side to avoid the beam reflecting on the screen but it still lights up the page excellently without disturbing my husband while reading in bed. I bought it to use with my kindle and was looking for a light that would attach to the Acase Flip Case, this light does the job. Many of the lights cost about $16.00 for the Kindle and this light for about $8.00 has turned out to be an excellent value. Terrific light that I highly recommend.
