Tools and Hardware Reviews of LightWedge Harry Potter Lumos Book Light
Customer Review: The LightWedge is the Best Book Light Available
Summary: 5 Stars
The LightWedge itself is the best book light I have ever used. It is light weight and easy to hold, comprising of an acrylic lens that lays flat against the page, with the LED light shining on the page from the side. The light shines only on the page, and in the case of small books, lights both pages. It can be used on either side, so when I finish with one page, I flip it over to the other, without having to unhook it or reposition it.
Unlike flashlights or other book lights I have tried, the Book Wedge has a bright, clear light but is not harsh to the eyes. It illuminates fully, so that I didn't feel as if I were squinting or struggling to read. This particular style is meant for, and works best with, hardback books of an average size. However, by turning it so that both pages are covered, it works fine for paperback books as well.
It takes four AA batteries in the side of the light. The door was a bit tricky to work at first, and I feared I had broken it. Luckily, I hadn't and have been able to work it smoothly since. Supposedly, the batteries last for 40 hours. I haven't used it long enough, yet, to know if that is true.
It also includes a page turner attachment for the bottom of the Wedge, to make "one-handed reading" easier. I found that it doesn't work quite as well as advertised, but does actually turn the page. I then had to use the other hand to pull the light off the prior page and put it on the next one, rendering the one-handed reading void.
The Harry Potter element of this light, though probably not worth the extra ten dollars, is still fun. It is called the "Lumos" book light, in reference to the Lumos spell. The Book Wedge comes with seven buttons that can be used for the on/off switch; the user has a choice of a Golden Snitch, Harry's glasses, the Hogwarts logo and more. They easily snap on and off, yet stay firmly in place. There is a Harry Potter logo on the left hand side and the Lumos logo on the right. The best feature of all, though, is the box it comes in, with a drawing of Harry and the Marauder's Map on the front and a neat inside-Hogwarts map (presumably the Marauder's Map) on the inside. I couldn't bear to throw it away.
Overall, the LightWedge company has me hooked, as their product is by far the best for night reading, and this particular one is ideal for Harry Potter fans.
