Philips Hue Go Sensible Transportable Desk Lamp for $101: My earlier bedside lamp affords most of the identical options as our choose above, nevertheless it will also be picked up and carried round, making it nice for fogeys with children who’re up at night time. It sits on a charging base and could be absolutely adjusted and automatic for colours, temperature, and brightness. The Twilight affords extra customizable controls and could be angled for simpler studying, however this lamp is less expensive.
Mighty Vivid Rechargeable Clip-On Ebook Mild for $33: With a slim clip and design that works with most books, I loved utilizing this versatile studying mild and appreciated the soft-touch end. You possibly can maintain the facility button right down to dim the twin LED head from 10 lumens right down to 2 lumens. Battery life ranges from 10 to 60 hours, and there’s a MicroUSB port for charging (cable included). It’s good, however I don’t perceive why it’s so costly.
Gritin 16 LED Studying Mild for $15: I loved utilizing this studying mild from Gritin. It’s just like our high choose, with a clamp design, gooseneck, three mild colours, and a spread of brightness ranges. It’s not as versatile as a result of it solely has a single head that accommodates all of the LEDs. It additionally boasts as much as 80 hours on the bottom brightness, although mine didn’t final that lengthy. It’s steady for those who desire to take a seat it on the nightstand, much more so than the Vekkia, because of an anti-slip coating on the underside. However it took me some time to determine methods to maintain the facility button down to vary brightness. This mild remains to be a stable alternative and value a glance when discounted.
Studying Lights We Don’t Suggest
These are the studying lights we’re not so eager on.
Energizer Studying Mild: This small studying mild from Energizer is so simple as they arrive. The ability swap is simply on or off (no colours or brightness controls). I just like the smaller clamp for studying paperbacks, and the adjustable neck works nicely, however the mild is kind of brilliant. It additionally takes two disposable Energizer CR2032 batteries which might be good for 25 hours of use, and I desire rechargeable studying lights.
Withit Quad Clip-On Ebook Mild: With 4 LEDs organized in a sq. head and an adjustable gooseneck, this studying mild affords loads of brilliant mild, and I like that you could maintain the facility button to dim it. The issue is that the clamp has an unlimited, heavy battery compartment to accommodate the three AAA batteries this mild takes. It ought to final a very long time, however when it does run out, you want a screwdriver to get in.
