Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Zelco Itty Bitty Paperback Edition Booklight
Customer Review: Good light with drawbacks
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a good light for reading in bed; VERY lightweight (the lightest book light I have seen), good light on both pages with very good positionability of the light; there is little spillover to disturb someone else and the shade keeps the light out of your eyes; and the clip works very well and the head gives you enough room to turn most pages without getting in the way. I have owned about 15 of these over the years because they fail after a while. Zelco has addressed many of the weaknesses of the original design and the current version is much more durable than the original; the warranty was limited to 1 year for a very good reason. (If you can solder, you can fix many of the failures yourself.) My main problem with this light is that if you fall asleep with the light on, the light can get hot enough to cause a serious burn. I recently got a small 3rd-degree burn from letting it fall on my arm and lay there while sleeping. I have constructed a guard around the shade from plastic canvas and am still using the light, but I would recommend using an LED light if you fall asleep while reading (Zelco 10056 itty bitty Booklight LED Edition) and NEVER buy this light or any of the other incandescent bulb lights for your child. If you still want incandescent, look at the Volume 2 from this same company (Zelco "itty bitty" Book Light, Volume 2).
If you don't get the AC adapter the batteries are used up quickly; the bulbs burn out and are expensive to replace. There is a cord that runs from the light to the battery pack or the AC adapter. Watch out that your adapter has plenty of air space around it; they tend to overheat without it. Inspect your adapter occasionally and if you see any signs of distortion in the outer cover, replace it immediately; you don't want to risk a fire. Don't avoid this booklight because I said this; this will be true of all AC adapters.
