Vekkia 14 LED Rechargeable Amber Book Light for Reading at Night, Eye-Care Reading Light for Books in Bed, 180° Adjustable, Clip on Lamp, 3 Color Temperatures, Lightweight, Present for Reader

I've tried a lot of book lights, both battery and A/C powered, modified flashlights, etc. and this is the best so far because it nails two important features: 1) It spreads the light over a relatively wide area 2) It is dimmable to a relatively low level Most reading lights, such as the popular "around the neck" kind and the common "small light on a gooseneck" kind (with the light source oriented perpendicular to the book pages) focus their light into a relatively small area. This creates a "hot spot" on the page with a lot of glare, surrounded by dimmer areas on the page extending out to the edge of the book. This uneven lighting is aggravating and produces eye fatigue, especially when reading against the backdrop of a dark room like one does while lying in bed at night. The glare issue is made worse by lights that are too bright and that cannot be adequately dimmed; I've tried using scotch tape or wax paper or a finger cot as a dimmer/diffuser with limited success. This Vekkia light has a wide light source oriented parallel to the page of the open book, thus the light is dispersed relatively evenly across the pages. Additionally, it can be dimmed to a lower level than other lights I have used. These features make for a more comfortable and enjoyable reading experience against the backdrop of a dark room. Selecting the amber color light option also enhances the experience. Another very useful feature is the base, which is large enough for the light to stand on. Clip on reading lights do not work well with magazines and some paperbacks, and the broad base allows this light to stand on my chest and illuminate the reading material when I am lying down. Drawbacks? Well, the plastic has kind of a cheap feel as though the light may not survive a fall to the floor, or that the buttons may not hold up to a lot of on-off cycles, and the battery is not replaceable so when it dies it will be time for a whole new light -- but every other dedicated book light I have tried suffers from the same issues. I also would prefer that once the desired light level is selected it would stay there when turning the light off and on; instead, one has to cycle through the levels to the desired setting every time the light is turned on. But all things considered, this little light is a winner!

This light is the best and most helpful light I have ever recieved. I can stay up late reading to my hearts content, and this light will stay up with me, never dying. I'm serious, the light has never died once for me in my months of having it, even after not being charged for days on end. Recently, due to my carelessness, my charger had broken at the tip, causing the head to break off (the wire had worn down from being tossed around, stepped on, etc. - definitely things that shouldn't have happened but because I wasn't being as careful as I should have been, they did.) I contacted the seller and they responded quickly and politely, sending me a whole new charger and light for free. They were extremely helpful, and I recieved another charger in around three days. I would highly reccomend this extremely durable light, as it not only lasts long but the light spreads across pages well, and it doesn't damage paperbacks if clipped on due to how lightweight it is. Great for my eyes to adjust to the nice light and lets me sleep easily when I decide to in comparison to a blinding white light. Would highly recommend - don't waste a minute, if you're looking for an outstanding reading light, this is the one you should purchase!

This is the best book lamp that I own! It’s great quality, has several light settings that you can control the intensity of, has a great battery life, and has a universal lamp head. I have the amber version of this lamp and it’s perfect to use when reading at night time. It easily clips onto the pages of my book and doesn’t get in my way when reading or turning a page. The lamp head is also adjustable and you can either use the lamp vertically or horizontally by fanning it open. The colors are super accurate and can be changed to dull or vibrant, depending on your preference. I loved it so much that I gifted this to my sister who is also a fellow reader

I use this reading light every single day and I love it! The amber light and adjustable brightness is perfect for reading at night without keeping myself awake for hours. I use this light for at least an hour or two every night (on medium-low brightness) and it lasts several weeks without needing to be charged again. I love the clip as it clips to a basket on my bedside table and my books equally well (though it is a bit heavy for some smaller paperbacks).

This is great! Pros: - The pages are clearly lit and easy to read. - The warm color is easy on the eyes in dark environment. - The light is concentrated and keeps the rest of my room dark. - 5 light levels from dim to bright. - Long charge life. Cons: - It works best with hardcover books where it can be clipped to the spine, paperback books are more difficult to use this with (but still manageable). - I thought you could switch between white and amber light with this model, but it only has amber light (which is preferable anyways). - While reading I have to adjust the clip every few pages because it slides.

Like many other reviewers, I have bought multiple reading lights (in my case, 5 or 6), and none of them before have been quite right. So glad I finally tried this one - it's perfect! I can't speak to battery life yet because I haven't had it that long, but this little thing is gonna get quite a workout. The clip is sturdy and will clip easily onto thin or fat books, and unlike most reading lights, it actually does illuminate the whole book, not just one page. It's lightweight and small, so I will be carrying it around with me a lot, and the adjustable neck lets you get the perfect angle. It never gets too bright shining in my own eyes (a problem I've had with some clip lights), and it doesn't shine into my spouse's eyes either, even when I'm reading in bed. I love the soft amber light setting, it is plenty of light to read but doesn't hurt my eyes, and doesn't interfere with my sleep. Great value, highly recommended - and trust me, I have tried A LOT of these that fell short. Really glad to have found a keeper, makes reading in the evening even more pleasant.

I read a lot in the evenings before bed, so I finally broke down and ordered this book light. I have to say it is probably one of the best purchases I have ever made. It's absolutely perfect. I love the different light settings. My personal favorite is setting 2 (as pictured). There are five brightness settings as well. Not only has it drastically reduced my night time eye strain, but the clip helps me to hold my books open and to save my place if I need to set the book down for a moment. I have been using it for two days now, several hours at a time, and I still have not had to charge it, so the battery life is excellent. Honestly it's just perfect. If you're on the fence, trust me, buy it!!

I don't review a lot of products. This light can clip to a book for bedtime reading, or stand on a desk. You can pick a warm color (doesn't disturb sleep cycle) or a cool color. The dimmest setting (of 5) is dim enough for bedtime reading. (Some other lights are too bright on the dimmest setting.) The 2 adjustable heads are great to distribute the light evenly on the page. The clip even has a flip-out arm so you can clip it around objects without it sliding off. Really polished product design. I bought two more for the family.

there was a white light that kept randomly turning on and off for some reason and there is no real way to turn it off. this is quite annoying when it happen in the middle of the night. the build quality feels cheap and does not match what was advertised. heavier than it should be. these devices should be lightweight so when attached to a book won't tire your hands while in bed.

Die Vekkia Leselampe mit Buchklemme hat sich als absoluter Volltreffer erwiesen, besonders wenn es darum geht, abends mit den Kindern zu lesen. Das warme, gelbe Licht ist angenehm für die Augen, blendet nicht und schafft eine gemütliche Leseatmosphäre – perfekt für die gemeinsame Zeit vor dem Schlafengehen. Was die Bedienung angeht, ist die Lampe äußerst unkompliziert. Selbst meine Kleinkinder können sie problemlos ein- und ausschalten, was sie auch immer wieder stolz vorführen. Der Clip hält sicher an der Buchrückseite, ohne das Buch zu beschädigen, und die Lampe ist leicht und handlich, sodass sie auch für Kinder gut zu handhaben ist. Ein weiteres Plus ist die verstellbare Helligkeit. Wir nutzen oft die zweitniedrigste Stufe, die vollkommen ausreicht, um zu lesen, ohne die Augen zu überanstrengen. Insgesamt eine tolle Anschaffung für alle, die viel mit Kindern lesen oder eine einfache, zuverlässige Leselampe für sich selbst suchen. Absolute Empfehlung!

Exactly what I thought

Needed a good bright clip on light to sing our Christmas concert which is held in a little used church that has no light or heat. Will be very useful to clip on to our music folder - just got to sort out something to keep warm!

A great little light, it is very helpful to be able to bend where you need it. It is helping me get back to reading.
