Other reading lights that we have tested and appreciated

Philips Hue GO intelligent lamp lamp for $ 101: My previous bedside lamp offers many of the same characteristics as our choice above, but it can also be collected and brought around, making excellent for parents with children who are awake at night. It is located on a charging base and can be completely regulated and automated for colors, temperature and brightness. Twilight offers more customizable checks and can be angled for easier reading, but this lamp is much cheaper.
BRIGHTY BRIGHT BRIGHTY BRIGHTY BRIG BOOK FOR $ 33: With a thin clip and a design that works with most books, I liked to use this flexible reading light and I appreciated the soft finish. You can keep the power button down to lower the double led from 10 lumen to 2 lumen. The battery life varies from 10 to 60 hours and there is a microUSB port for charging (cable included). Okay, but I don’t understand why it’s so expensive.
Gritin 16 Lead Light Readings for $ 15: I liked to use this light reading of Grein. It is similar to our best choice, with a clamp design, on a candle neck, three light colors and a range of brightness levels. It is not so versatile because it has only one head that contains all LEDs. It also boasts up to 80 hours on the lower brightness, although mine has not lasted so long. It is stable if you prefer to sit on the bedside table, even more than Vekkia, thanks to an anti-lip coating on the bottom. But it took me a bit to understand how to keep the power button to change the brightness. This light is still a solid choice and takes a look when taken for granted.
Read the lights we do not recommend
These are the reading lights we are not so enthusiastic.
Energizer light reading: This small light reading of Energizer is like them. The power switch is just bright or off (no color or brightness controls). I like the smallest clamp for reading paper and adjustable neck works well, but the light is quite bright. It also takes two US energy batteries, throwing CR2032 which are good for 25 hours of use and I prefer rechargeable reading lights.
With the light of the quad-on-clip book: With four LEDs arranged in a square head and an adjustable alveo, this reading light offers a lot of intense light and I like that you can keep the power button to attenuate it. The problem is that the clamp has a huge and heavy battery compartment to host the three AAA batteries that this light takes. It should last for a long time, but when it runs out, a screwdriver is needed to enter.
