Tools and Hardware Reviews of LightWedge Paperback LED Booklight
Customer Review: Limited...
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.
Description of LightWedge Paperback LED Booklight
Imagine a pane of bright, even light illuminating only the page you are reading. That's the idea behind LightWedge. No glare, no stray light to disturb others. Just rest it on the page and read. Now, imagine what you could do with a light like that.For avid readers who have spent many an hour squinting in dim light, LightWedge created this innovative paperback book light. The book light lies flat on the book page, creating the impression that the book itself is aglow. Designed specifically for mass-market paperbacks, this book light minimizes readers? optical duress and discomfort while illuminating each word without distortion or glare.
Equipped with LED technology, this book light eliminates the hindrance of faulty or burnt out bulbs associated with many other book lights. Four AAA batteries power the book light for durations up to 40 hours, making it an ideal companion for a long flight or car ride. The book light features a high quality acrylic lens, a similar construction to that of a pair of reading glasses. Two levels of brightness enable readers to adjust the book light to suit particular environments and optical capabilities with a simple, one-touch button. For the best results, clean the book light like other optical equipment with a lens cleaner and a soft, micro-fiber cloth. Storing the book light within a book or a protective case prevents scratches, dust and other debris from obstructing the lens surface while extending the light?s longevity. Batteries are not included with the book light. The book light measures 7-2/5 by 5-1/2 inches. --Jessica Reuling
