4 out of 5 stars Big one works fine, just scratches very easily   January 6, 2009
Yes, I gave the little one a bad review, and maybe I shouldn't have tried to read with it. But the big one works fine, its just that it scratches very easily right out of the box when you turn pages, so I would put a screen protector on it, not just buy the cover. Staples wanted $40 without the soft case so price is great, its just you have to pay shipping that is as much as the item price for the soft cover.


1 out of 5 stars Lightwedge   December 26, 2008
I'm very disappointed. First of all getting the batteries in was a major undertaking. The light is very low and doesn't light the whole page (paperback book). When the plastic is laying on the page, there's a weird wave-like pattern on the page. I had to hold the lightwedge above the page to read it. I had to use a knife to pry the batteries out so I could box it back up to return to the store.


2 out of 5 stars Very low light output   December 18, 2008
I bought this for an elderly coworker, and it looks nothing like the pictures when it's turned on. We went into a dark room and tried it out, and i found the low amount of light extremely disappointing. I though maybe there were multiple settings but there weren't. i couldn't recommend this product to anyone. of course it doesn't bother other people when you use it, you can barely see the light!


3 out of 5 stars Scratchy   December 16, 2008
It's a great idea. The light is definitely enough for when my husband is sleeping with the lights off and I want to stay up reading with a light dimmer than my bedside table lamp. The "screen" was pretty scratched up though. I can read through it, but it's annoying.


3 out of 5 stars Good product with limitations   December 3, 2008
  4 out of 4 found this review helpful

I read books at night, frequently, so I purchased this product so I wouldn't disturb my wife. This light source is simple in design: tiny LED lamps illuminate a thin piece of plastic (working similar to a fiberoptic lamp Lumisource LS-FO SPRAY Fiber Optic Spray). It is about the dimensions of a full sized book and the black handle which houses the battery/light source is somewhat bulky. A small button toggles the light intensity from low to dim to off.br /br /USEbr /br /Place the item on the page that you want to read, push the button to the light intensity that you desire (allow your eyes to adjust to the darkness, which may take a minute or more), and flip the item to the other page to read. As you turn the page, you will need to take the item out, and place it back into the book.br /br /In concept, this product is ideal. You have a light source that is limited to the pages that you are viewing. However, even on the highest intensity (let's call it dim and dimmer), the light is still somewhat low. What can you read with this item? Books that have high contrast paper (glossy pages are most ideal since the reflective proper of the paper allows for better view). Conventional novels are a bit more difficult to read. Magazines are impossible unless you read on your stomach with the magazine placed on the bed. Furthermore, pictures are difficult to see, at best.br /br /DURABILITYbr /br /Like any screen on a laptop, I placed a SCREEN PROTECTOR on my lightwedge to prevent scratches. Any scratch with transmit uneven light (more than usual).br /br /Given that LEDs have very little power requirements, I have had the same batteries in the unit for the past 3 years, and it is still running.br /br /DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONSbr /br /More LED bulbs along the 'spine' of the handle would improve the light intensity.br /br /A thinner, scratch resistant plastic with a lighter handle would be a marked improvement.br /br /VERDICTbr /br /Knowing the limitations and tendency for scratches, it is an innovative product that still has good uses. You will need to try this product for yourself, before you can decide if it works for you.br /br /
