Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Zelco Itty Bitty Volume Two Booklight
Customer Review: The BEST of the Zelco Itty Bitty Book Lights
Summary: 5 Stars
EDIT: The price for this one and the other one referenced herein are fluctuating, so you must check both before knowing which is the best deal at the time.
This review is for Zelco Itty Bitty Volume Two Booklight.
If you have ever used a book light, you know that they generally are not the best quality appliances to be found, so let's take that into consideration -- it applies to all of them. With that taken into consideration, this particular deal, at about only $25, is one of the best.
You may see also for sale on this site the Zelco "itty bitty" Book Light, Volume 2. That model number, 10030, is the SAME as this one, except this one, model 10050, comes with the AC adapter (which you would formerly have to buy separately if buying the 10030), PLUS is selling for about $10 LESS than 10030.
If you have no need for the AC adapter, and like to pay more for the same thing, the 10030 model may be a better choice for you...but if you are like me, and like to get a better deal and more for your money, the 10050 model seems to be the best choice if you like the volume 2 version.
I have used the volume 1 version of the Itty Bitty Booklight before, and I do not think it is quite as convenient as this one. The construction of the vol. 1 is not as sturdy as vol. 2, and is not quite as adjustable. The vol. 1 tends to droop after a while.
I have also tried the LED version, which claims that you never need to replace the bulbs (which would be nice), but I had to replace the entire light through Zelco a couple of times, because the bulbs did not last very long, and they are not replaceable.
The AC adapter is the thing that really makes this book light, in my opinion, as not all book lights come with that option. The reason it is the deal breaker is that while it is nice to be able to use a very portable book light for reading while traveling, that is not where I mostly use a book light, and probably is not where most people use them. It is far too inconvenient for me to use a light that I must always change the batteries for, when my book light usage is primarily when I'm at home in bed with a sleeping wife, and do not want to turn a 60 watt lamp on to read.
The bulbs you will have to replace occasionally, but I regularly use this light and only have to replace a bulb every 6 months or so. You can also get them through Amazon.
Zelco Booklight Replacement Bulbs, Set of 2
I'm not sure where another reviewer got only $2 per bulb. They are more like $3 each, but well worth it when considering book light options.
