Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of LightWedge Paperback LED Booklight
Customer Review: Enough Waves to Make You Seasick!
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased this for my father's birthday and gave it to him a couple days ago. What a disappointment! I put Duracell batteries in this and was all exited to see him use it since he reads constantly. I nearly cried when I saw the waves of light going across the page of his book. The light was uneven and made the plastic look like it was badly rippled. We put different batteries in and the exact same result. Shadows and ripples across the page that made it unreadable. I was so excited to find a such a perfect gift for his birthday and now I feel lousy for giving him such a piece of junk. He thanked me and put it up on a shelf. I'm certain he will never use it. I know I wouldn't!
I wish I had the foresight to take a photo of my LightWedge in action so everyone can see the bad performance of this thing. I wish I had paid more attention to the negative reviews and not wasted my money.
Customer Review: I love my LightWedge!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the single best thing for someone who likes to read in bed. I can be in the dark and read my book easily with the light wedge. It's even better in hotel rooms when the light switches aren't by the bed...... I'm going to share a room with a friend soon and I know I can read as long as I want to and not disturb her. And the wedge is powerful enough to light a room like you could with a flashlight... so I can use it to light the way to the bathroom in a strange hotel room. I've ordered several paperback sized ones for Christmas gifts, can't wait to see what my friends think of them.
One thing... I wish I had been more careful with my LightWedge when I got it..... the surface scratches easily and mine has lots of scratches now. I would have been more careful.... but the scratches don't detract from the usefulnes of the wedge. All in all this is a great product!!
Customer Review: Good reading light for paperback
Summary: 4 Stars
I had this book light for over a month and have been using it. It does have problems like other reviewers reported: scratched easily, non-uniform light across the plate (seeing ripple like patterns). There is one spot right between the 2 lights on the side that I found it's not bright enough. Luckily, this usually lands on the margin of a page.
Other than those, I like the light. It's bright enough to read comfortably and fit perfectly on a paperback page. For books of larger size, I tried turning it sideway, and scrolled down as I read along. I found it very convenient to keep the light inside the book as a bookmark. I can just close the book, turn off the light, set them aside, and fall right to asleep.
I wish there were a third light in the middle along with the 2 lights, that would have fixed the dark spot (and may reduce the ripple patterns?).
Customer Review: Best thing since sliced bread...so to speak
Summary: 5 Stars
Honestly...I just love this book light! It looks cool, it's lightweight and now I can finally read in bed without disrupting my fiance since I have insomnia and reading until the wee hours of the morning is not unusual for me. Yes the plastic scratches easily and leaves fingerprints, but this in no way would give me cause to give it a lower rating. I found the first light to be too bright actually, so the lower setting is perfect for me. Some of the complaints from other reviews are petty...I can be pessimistic at times, but some of the complaints were ridiculous! If you read a lot in bed and if you have bed partners who don't stay up late, if you don't want to disrupt others around you, then this is perfect! I would find this a better solution to using on an airplane than the overhead lights as well. And this light serves as a great bookmark! Nuff said...buy it!Customer Review: Nice concept, bad design

Being an obsessive bedtime book reader, I can't live without a good book light (or I'd have to live without my husband). After my last one died, I thought I'd give this one a try. It sounds cool and you never have to replace the bulbs. The first mark against it was the horrible wavy lines that it splashed across my pages. Next mark off was the fact that it didn't stay balanced on the top of the page, even with the page topper inserted. I found having to lift it at every page turn something I just couldn't be ok with. The last straw was that after only 3 weeks of use, it started to intermittently flash on and off, depending on how it was being held or moved. Some defect in the way the batteries connect. The battery compartment is curved and therefore makes for and unusual non-flat placement of the batteries. No wonder.Unfixable. Don't waste your time or money.
