When selected properly, a book light can reduce eye fatigue by assuring ample light while reading, even in darkened venues, and can help to save both energy and money. A sturdy clip on book light design can make your light easy to securely attach to your book, book holder, or book stand, and many can do double duty as craft, podium, hobby or other task lighting. Light weight incandescent or LED designs can provide exactly the required lighting exactly where you need it, without wasting energy or disturbing those around you, like a spouse or partner watching TV.
By illuminating your reading materials with just the correct amount and temperature of light, a book light can save your eyes from strain and assist your reading in darkened venues. Our eyes require more light as we age, and providing the right amount of light for what we’re reading can be a real challenge. Obviously, the best light for reading is natural sunlight coming directly over your shoulder, but we often have to read when or where sunlight 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. 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 making the choice between incandescent and LED designs, 3 primary concerns include: the differences in the type of light produced by these two technologies, the cost of acquisition, and the cost of maintenance and operation over time. Incandescent light sources typically create a warm, somewhat golden-tinged light, and bulbs typically last between 15-25 hours of use and then must be replaced. LED lights create a whiter, cooler light, and many designs are now optimized to approximate the output of lighting from the sun. Hence, most readers find the light of modern LED designs to be more “sun like”, producing greater contrast and making all printing easier to read. While replacement incandescent bulbs are readily available in local stores, as well as over the Internet, the expense and inconvenience of replacement can really mount up over time. Since LEDs provide life expectancies of 10,000 to 50,000 hours, their 10-20% greater initial purchase price quickly becomes irrelevant. For these and other reasons, LED book light designs are now the preferred choice over the older incandescent.
Battery powered clip on lights are the handiest, since they can be used anywhere. Unfortunately, batteries themselves are also a replaceable item, typically lasting 20-30 hours of use at best, in either LED or incandescent designs. Available A/C adapters are offered for most book lights, but another option is to make use of a good battery recharger and rechargeable batteries. Most book light designs make use of either AA or AAA batteries, and many excellent models are available from which to choose. In addition, if your light is typically used near to an A/C outlet, an optional A/C adapter can be a money saving investment.
Finally, the area of dispersal is also a meaningful consideration when choosing the right book light for a particular application. If your light will only be used to light a standard size, mass market paperback, a single LED or incandescent clip on light design will probably be adequate; however, if you read mostly hard cover books, newspapers and magazines, or even a full music stand of sheet music, you’ll want a more powerful design that can distribute the lighting over a much broader area. The ideal way to determine the best design for any 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, just in case your first choice turns out not to be as suitable as you had hoped. With a bit of application, you can acquire the perfect book light for just about any use.
