When selected properly, a book light can reduce eye fatigue by assuring ample light while reading, even in the darkest places, and can help to conserve both energy and money. A well designed clip on book light design can make your light easy to affix to your book, book holder, or book stand, and many can do double duty as hobby, craft, podium or task lights. Light weight incandescent or LED designs can provide exactly the required amount of light exactly where you need it, without wasting energy or disturbing those around you, like a spouse or partner on the other side of the bed.

By illuminating your reading materials with just the right amount and color of light, a book light can help to save your eyes from strain and assist your reading in darkened venues. Our eyes require more light as we age, and providing the correct amount of light for what we’re reading can be difficult. Obviously, the best light for reading is natural sunlight coming directly from over your shoulder, but we often need to read when or where such lighting simply isn’t available. Hence, the correctly selected book light, a light we can use anywhere and anytime we choose, iscan be} an incredible convenience. By then turning off the overheads and lamps illuminating so much more than our reading materials, we can save considerable energy as well as the money required to pay for that energy.

When choosing between incandescent and LED book light designs, three primary considerations include: the different color or temperature of light produced by these two distinct technologies, the cost of original purchase, and the cost of maintenance and operation over time. Incandescent light sources typically create a warm, somewhat golden-tinged light, and incandescent bulbs typically will provide light between 15-25 hours of use and then must be replaced. LED lights produce a whiter, cooler light, with many designs now optimized to approximate the output of light from the sun. Hence, most book lovers find the output of modern LEDs to be more “sun like”, producing greater clarity and contrast and making all printing easier to read. While replacement incandescent bulbs are generally available in local electronic retail shops, and over the Internet, the cost of replacement can really add up over time. Since LEDs offer life expectancies of 10,000 to 50,000 hours, the 10-20% greater initial purchase price quickly becomes irrelevant. Generally, then, LED book light designs are now the preferred choice over the older incandescent.

Battery powered book lights are the handiest, as your light can be used virtually anywhere. Unfortunately, batteries too are a replaceable item, lasting 20-30 hours of use at best, in either LED or incandescent designs. Optional A/C adapters are available for most book lights, and another possibility is to use rechargeable batteries and a recharger. Most book light designs make use of either AA or AAA batteries, and many rechargeable options are on offer. Additionally, if your light is to be used near to an A/C outlet, an optionally available A/C adapter is usually a money saving investment.

Finally, the area of dispersal is also an important consideration when selecting the right book light for a particular application. If your light is only to be used to light a standard size, mass market paperback, a simple LED or incandescent book light design will probably be sufficient; however, if you read mostly hard cover books, newspapers and magazines, or even a full music stand of sheet music, you’ll need a much more powerful design which distributes the light over an appropriately larger area. The ideal way to determine the most suitable design for your particular application will be to test it in actual use. When shopping, make sure your retailer offers both good information and advice before the sale, and a good return policy, in case your first choice doesn’t quite hit the mark. With a bit of application, you can buy the best book light for any application.
