Product Description

A Different Kind of Book Light The LightWedge is an efficient book light with a streamlined design. A lighted, distortion-free acrylic lens extends across the book page and emits all the brightness directly onto the book page, reducing shadows and glare. Since the light is emitted directly onto the page, there's no excess reflection to disturb others nearby. The LightWedge is thin and lightweight and easily slips into a backpack, tote bag, or briefcase. Also, when not in use, it is useful as a convenient bookmark stored between a book's pages. The bright LEDs that illuminate the LightWedge have two brightness levels and a lifetime warranty. The light can run for 40 hours on four AAA batteries. The LightWedge can rest on the left page and then simply be flipped over to read the right page. The LightWedge has these great features:

Customer Reviews

everybody wants one of these
Every time someone sees this, they comment on it and seem to want one of their own. We love the LightWedge. It's easy on the eyes and is not as hard to maneuver as you'd think it would be.

Far less useful than promised in its description & marketing materials....
We are so disappointed. I ordered a LightWedge Original for each of us, as we like to read in bed, on airplanes, etc. They just arrived last week. We so wanted to love this product. However, it doesn't illuminate the whole page as described but just radiates one thin pale strip of light at the spine and around the edges, plus it throws a couple thin horizontal strips of light across the page. Talk about eye strain! I see some of the happy reviewers mentioned having two brightness settings. Our model has only an "on/off" switch. I expressed my disappointment & displeasure in an email to the manufacturer but got only a response suggesting we'd either used old, weak batteries or inserted them wrong. I replied that the batteries were fresh from the package, etc., but have had no further communication from them.This product is woefully overpriced for what you get. I'll be shipping them back to Amazon and asking for a refund.

What a disappointment!
I bought this light for my husband from a local Borders store. What a disappointment! It has very poor light, and only one setting for brightness. Must be a new style. The enclosed pamphlet says there are two settings for brightness, but a sticker on the outside of the packaging says that it has a new one setting for brightness. Not a good idea, as that one setting is not bright enough, OR we had a defective light. Back it went to the store. We are thinking about checking out the Phorm light.
