Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Zelco LED Bookmark Lite
Customer Review: Not the best book light
Summary: 2 Stars
The good: The light doesn't get in the way. Convenient way to store the goose-neck arm. The arm is very sturdy unlike those of Mighty Bright. It stays secure on the book.
The bad: The goose-neck arm isn't nearly long enough. It should be double its current length, in order to be positioned high enough to light the bottom of the page just as well as the top. The light quality itself is a blinding, harsh, cool white light - too bright, not at all pleasant to view at extended periods. It has a questionable build quality although it seems a bit better than the really cheap LED snake-like Mighty Brights (not saying much).
More bad:Most white LEDs have spectra that differ significantly from a black body radiator like the sun or an incandescent light. The spike at 460 nm and dip at 500 nm can cause the color of objects to be perceived differently under LED illumination than sunlight or incandescent sources, due to metamerism, red surfaces being rendered particularly badly by typical phosphor based white LEDs. There is also increasing concern that blue LEDs and white LEDs are now capable of exceeding safe limits of the so-called blue-light hazard as defined in eye safety specifications such as ANSI/IESNA RP-27.1-05: Recommended Practice for Photobiological Safety for Lamp and Lamp Systems.
Disclaimer: I picked this light up and receieved a defective unit with a broken on/off button. I did not replace it due to the above issues.
