I am a person that never sleeps at night and when my husband and I travel, I like to take along a book light to read with so I won't disturb him, (or his snoring!).Anyway....I have tried so many book lights, and have found if I like it for hardback, it won't work for paper, or it never really gives the light I need without constant manipulation of the light, the book or me.

Well, I have found that light. This itty bitty slim booklight is exactly what they promised. It fits on all three size books, hardback, trade, and paper, and it is so lightit doesn't make the book top heavy. The double little bulb lights both pages, there is no obstruction when turning pages like in some of the lights, and it is so slim and lightweight, it is great to throw in a purse or briefcase for travel. Thank you, Zelco.....

I was willing to pay the price based on the rave reviews, the travel-friendly collapsible design, the flat base (so you can also use it as a bedside lamp while rummaging in the dark) and the spine clip, but the gooseneck was not long enough for the light to cover all of both pages of even a normally small paperback, and the light was not bright enough to compensate and I generally use these lights in very dark bedroom situations, not in low-light situations like evening train rides where it might do fine. After trying 5 different lights of varying manufacturers, designs and prices, I ended up going with the $12 version of the Mighty Bright LED light. I'd rather have the spine clip than the cover clip, but my 48 year old eyes need the extra brightness that none of the spine clip LED versions seemed to be able to achieve. It's hard to believe this is such rocket science. IF Zelco added an inch to this light and made it brighter, it'd be worth any price they named!

Best Deals for Zelco 11214 itty bitty Slim LED Booklight

This light works great and is very respectful to those around you. It is a bit pricey, but it really does the job on any kind of book. I read some reviews that didn't like the quality of the piece, mostly regarding the construction and plastic battery door and whatnot. I understand those concerns, and concur to some degree. Having said that, I have used mine commuting roughly in NYC for several weeks, tossing it into my bag and pockets without any injury whatsoever. I would definitely recommend this light to the picky book reader, I've used a lot of lights and have not found its equal. It is pricey, but worth it. The only things keeping it from 5 stars would be the battery door and the price.

Honest reviews on Zelco 11214 itty bitty Slim LED Booklight

I have an obssession with reading late at night. If the book is good I won't be able to put it down until 3 or 4 AM. My wife was constantly complaining about me waking her up and bothering her sleep so I figured I could use a personal light.

I got this because it had a favorable review at Slate

and immediately agreed with the review. The light is LED which should last pretty much forever, I've been using it for the past month on the same set of 3 AAA batteries and it's still going strong.

It fits snugly over the spine of the book and so far managed to fit & light any size book I was reading at the moment (it feels slightly looser on paperbacks). It doesn't require any adjustments when you flip pages which is a plus since most book lights will requires so adjustments on page turns.

Construction is pretty strudy and it slips into a very slick carrying case that you can stick anywhere. and its very light so you almost don't feel the added weight when you hold the book. the battery cover is a little flimsy and may require jingling.

But the best part is that it light the book and the book only. the light sits on top of a tiny crane that you can adjust to make sure the entire pages is lighted adquedately and that nothing else is lighted.

Excellent product, other than the battery cover its perfect.

UPDATE: one more issue I found is that it's very hard to tell when the light goes dim. I use it daily and it goes a little dimmer every day. When it gets hard to read the bottom of the page, it's time to change the batteries

I received this book light for X-mas and I absolutely love it!! It works great with hardcover and paperback books. You are able to light both pages at the same time which is hard to do with most book lights. I also found that this light is very comfortable to use with paperback books and it doesn't weigh them down.

This book light is definitely worth the price!! I've used other LCD lights in the past that hardley light up the page and the clip seems to fit awkwardly on paperback books. This light will fit any book that has a spine on it and give you the proper amount of light without disturbing others.

This light comes with a case and is very portable. It will easily slip into a purse or pocket or you can keep it attached to your book.
