Review on Glocusent Mini Rechargeable Clip-on Reading Light for Books: 16 LED Blue Light Filtered Book Light with 80 Hours Battery, 3 Color Modes & 5 Brightness Levels - Ideal for Bookworms, Kids & Travel by Dave Albright

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Comfortable bedside reading light, adjustable color and brightness

The light is almost perfect for my purposes: I needed a low intensity light suitable for bedtime reading and this light does exactly what I need . You can adjust the hue from bright white to yellow and the brightness from fairly bright to very low (even too low to read). The battery lasts for several days and charging is easy (I use a long USB-C cable with an old charger). One star deducted because there are two issues that I consider minor: (1) The clip is pretty much useless unless you have an unusually thin spot for it - I didn't have one. I opted for Command Strips with velcro to attach the bottom of the lamp to the headboard: it works really well. (2) All the different switches are grouped close together with no texture to make them easier to find by touch. So you'll have to carefully guess with your finger to find the switch, and if you make a mistake you could hit the wrong switch and blind yourself while you go to sleep. I think a small piece of tape can help add some texture. All in all, a pretty good solution if you're looking for a low-intensity reading lamp.
