 BEST for reading at night, no question about it! December 9, 2007

THis lightwedge is fantastic. It provides a great source of light that is focused on your book, not on the person next to you. The light comes from the black handle, but because of the "wedge" shape of the glass, it is focused down the glass and onto your book. You can even take that focused beam and use it as an impromtu flashlight.
This thing uses hardly any batteries at all, unlike the other popular reading lights. I very rarely have to change the batteries and I use this all the time, for hours every night! I've even fallen asleep with it on overnight, with no noticable decrease in battery life. Because the battery life is so good, I've even let my son read in bed for awhile and then just set it down and use it as a nightlight for the rest of the night.
It is true that if you're like I am (rough with it) it will get scratches on the lens. Not a big deal though, when it's on the book, you won't notice the scraches. Much like small scratches on eyeglasses.
I like the larger size because you can use that with large books or with paperbacks with equal ease. The paperback one doesn't work as well with the hardcover books, but it's okay.
The lightwedge also doubles as a bookmark when not in use!
You won't be disappointed if you buy this. I wasn't. I'm actually buying two more for friends as Christmas gifts!

I saw this on the Today Show in December 2007. I then went to their web site to research it.
I was disappointed when I used it. It really does not light that evenly or that bright. If you were in total darkness it would be ok, but who reads in total darkness?
If you read with other ambient light around, it really does not do much more than the ambient light. It is an improvement, but not worth the effort.
It is a good idea but needs work.
--it needs to be brighter
--it needs to be even lighting
I have a feeling that this was wasted money but we will see if we can find a use for it.
I use it every night! December 15, 2007

I have used this every night since I bought it in August. I highly recommend it to anyone who reads in bed.

I was surprised how much I disliked this product. The light from this is quite weak and uneven. This would work well if you read in complete darkness, but in a room with some ambient light it does not help that much. Also, you have to read "through" a piece of plastic, and so any dirt or imperfections on the plastic will effect your reading enjoyment. It is an interesting idea that did not work for me.
I have not found ANYTHING better than this... December 23, 2007

I have tried itty bitty's, fancy space lights, and lights mounted to the headboard of my bed. This is by FAR the best book light I have found. It is a little cumbersome for small paperbacks but they have one for that too (maybe I will buy one one day). I take it on planes and it conveniently stays put in the book while in my bag. By the way...if you are like me and dont read directions, this goes ON TOP of the page.
Get it.
