Timberdoodle's review
 
LightWedge Paperback Book Lights
Since our children began to read, we have had a love/hate relationship with book lights. While they made a trip to Grandma's more pleasant, maintaining the bulbs was not. More nerve-racking than that was the fear that they would inadvertently shine the lights in the rear-view mirror or at another car, temporarily blinding/distracting the driver. After a few hair-raising episodes we had to limit book lights to older children only. Had the LightWedge been available it would have eliminated both issues.

Light On The Page, Not In Your Eyes!
The LED illumination means no bulbs to burn out. The distortion-free optical-grade acrylic lens spills the light onto the page, not into anyone's eyes. The thin lens sits flat over the page you wish to read, is hefty enough to hold open the pages of many books, and can also double as a bookmark. Weighing just 8.5 ounces, the LightWedge is easy to pack and carry. At 7.4" x 5.5", the LightWedge seems bigger than the typical clip-on book light, but once you start to use it you will be pleased with how much easier it is to manage than the bulkier flashlight on a clip.

Makes A Great Gift!
Originally we envisioned these being used as the perfect book lights in the car, but immediately after they arrived we realized that their potential was even greater. They are great for late night reading in bed, especially when some roommates would rather sleep than read. They are nifty tools for those campers who like to read and are frustrated by the irregular lighting that lanterns provide or annoyed with trying to read by flashlight. They would make a thoughtful gift to families facing extended hospital stays with a loved one. And for those of us traveling with aging eyes, it could be just the boost we need when the lighting may not be adequate at a relative's home.

Up to 40 Hours on 4 AAA Batteries
Operating up to forty hours on four "AAA" batteries (available separately), LightWedge turns on with a switch that's effortless enough for even small children to operate. With nothing to move, attach, or break, it is simple to operate, easy to handle, and painless to pack.

Protective Case Available Separately
The Lightwedge Protective Case (available separately) is made of deluxe-feeling neoprene and lined with a microfiber polishing cloth. Compact and not too bulky, there is just enough padding to protect your LightWedge.

    We LOVE the Lightwedge! February 18, 2010
    Reviewer: Jackie from Milford OH  
    We LOVE the Lightwedge! After reading about the Lightwedge on Timberdoodle's website, I knew we had to have it. My daughter reads every chance she gets and especially on the long trip to Grandma's and Grandpa's house. When coming home late in the evening, she can read until her heart's content with the Lightwedge and it doesn't disturb the driver like the light above her seat. We've only had to replace the batteries once in over a year (and she uses it a lot!). I think she even stays up at night and reads in bed after we've tucked her in. I recommend this for any parent who wants to keep their child reading even when it's dark!

    This has been the best book light October 20, 2009
    Reviewer: Jennifer H. from Simi Valley, CA  
    My husband can read late into the evening and I can sleep. We have had the light for 2 years now and it is still going strong. It is durable with no replacing light bulbs. Each member of our family wish they could have one. It is great for traveling and reading in the car.

    Bought for use in the car October 20, 2009
    Reviewer: Judi J. from Big Sandy, MT  
    We live very rurally, so being in the car after dark is not rare.  We were looking for a light the kids could use without blinding us in the front seat, or other drivers on the highway.  We really like the Light Wedge!  The light is strong enough to light up the pages and even the area around the kiddos, but not a beam that can blind others.  The only complaint I have is that in both of the LightWedges we own, there are not 2 levels of brightness,as advertised, just one.  Otherwise, we really like this product and recommend it highly.

    A very good buy for the money! October 20, 2009
    Reviewer: Denise P. from Sunnyvale, CA  
    This is not necessarily an item for a child unless this is a child who knows how to care for things responsibly.  It is really great for the responsible child who needs to continue reading when it's dark, and is sharing a room, with a younger child/baby that needs all the lights out to sleep.  All the adults I have given this to have raved about this item in both the paperback and original sizes!  It's not clunky like other book lights, and one has quite a bit of reading time before the batteries need replacing.  This is not an item that will be heading for the junk pile with other book lights.  A very good buy for the money!

    Lights up the page beautifully! October 20, 2009
    Reviewer: Dawn S. from Hartford, WI  
    The lightwedge allows my children to read in the car and in bed without hindering those around them.  It lights up the page beautifully and clearly making night reading a treat.
