- Thin Bookmark Light: Great concept but flimsy and unstable.
- Babo Booklet Light: Limited settings and inconvenient USB charging.
- Gen's Book Light: Stable clip but lacks settings.
- 86 Lux Book Light: Sleek and portable but has no dedicated on/off switch.
- Two Glock you sand book lights: Most features and customisability, with one having a sliding light and timer.
Light Panel Light
The Light Panel light features a clear panel that sits directly on the page, illuminating it effectively. While it works well, it requires frequent repositioning as you read and turn pages, which can be annoying. Additionally, holding the book with the panel in place isn't very comfortable.
Glu Sent Neck Light
The Glu Sent neck light has a design that effectively lights up the book and is comfortable to wear. The lights can be positioned precisely where needed. However, when turned on, it illuminates not only the book but also a significant portion of the surrounding room, making it unsuitable for shared spaces. Its movement and positioning can also be cumbersome when reading in various positions.
Gritten and Book Light
The Gritten and book light features a gooseneck design with a clip that attaches to the page, allowing for precise positioning. It has an on/off button on the top. The main issues are that the light illuminates more than just the book and it lacks portability due to the gooseneck's inflexibility.
Thin Bookmark Light
The thin bookmark light is designed to be used as a bookmark. The light is activated by flipping it around and it attaches magnetically inside the book. However, it moves a lot, tends to turn on by itself, and doesn't stay in place very well due to its thin and flimsy design. The light also shakes on the page, making it less desirable.
Babo Booklet Light
The Babo booklet light has a small clip that attaches well to the book. It uses a USB charge, which the reviewer dislikes, and has only one button to control the temperature and on/off functions. The top is adjustable, but the light lacks options for brightness settings.
Gen's Book Light
The Gen's book light also uses a USB charge and has a more stable clip compared to the Babo booklet light. Similar to the previous light, it only has one button to cycle through light settings and lacks additional customisation options.
86 Lux Book Light
The 86 Lux book light is sleek, slim, and portable, featuring a thin but stable clip. It includes a charging port, which is a plus. It has two buttons on the side to adjust the light's temperature and brightness. However, it lacks a dedicated on/off switch, requiring users to cycle through all settings to turn it off.
Two Glock You Sand Book Lights
The two Glock you sand book lights are the reviewer's favourites due to their extensive features and customisability. Both have an independent on/off button and save brightness settings. The only downside is the USB charging. They feature a stable clip and provide excellent light coverage.
Final Decision
The two Glock you sand book lights were very similar, but one had two features that made it slightly better. It had a sliding light for more customisable light positioning and a timer button (30, 45, or 60 minutes) that automatically turns off the light, which is useful for those who fall asleep while reading. This is the book light the reviewer chose to keep.
