Intro
The video introduces a test of five best-selling book lights from Amazon, focusing on light output, quality, and comfort. The reviewer will individually assess each light and recommend their favourite by the end of the video.
86 Lux Pocket E1
The 86 Lux Pocket E1 is a slim and lightweight book light that attaches to a book with a clamp. It features a swivel head for directional lighting and is controlled by two side buttons for on/off, brightness, and colour temperature adjustments (warm, cool, and bright white). Despite its small size, it provides ample light, is USB-C rechargeable for faster charging, and can be used as a bookmark. The reviewer recommends it for those seeking a portable and bright book light.
Glocusent USB Rechargeable Clamp Light
The Glocusent USB rechargeable clamp light is a small book light with multiple features. It has a folding clamp for attachment to the book's pages or backing and a swivel head for light direction. It features three buttons for power, brightness (low, medium, high), and colour temperature (bright white, warm light, and a mix). A battery indicator is included. The light is USB-A rechargeable via a built-in connector. The reviewer praises its features and ease of charging.
Glocusent Neck Reading Light
The Glocusent neck reading light is a comfortable, highly-rated option featuring a velvet-feel pad around the neck and adjustable, bendable lights on each side. Brightness is adjustable via buttons on each light head (low, medium, high), and the colour temperature can be changed in the middle of the light (warm, daylight, cool). It is USB-C rechargeable, offering a longer battery life due to its size. The reviewer finds it a worthwhile option for those who prefer not to clamp a light to their book.
Vavo Clip-On Light
The Vavo clip-on light is a lightweight and small book light with an adjustable clamp suitable for any book size. It features a bendable neck for controlling the light source. A single button controls the brightness (low, medium, high). It includes a battery indicator and a micro USB charging port. While the reviewer appreciates the design and ease of use, they wish it had a USB-C port for faster charging.
Gritin Clamp-On Book Light
The Gritin clamp-on book light has a matte black design and a flexible neck for customisable lighting. It can be clamped onto the pages or backing of a book. A button controls the light source, offering three light types (cool white, warm light, and a mixture). It is USB-C rechargeable and features a grippy clamp to prevent damage to the book. The reviewer appreciates its simplicity and portability.
Final Thoughts
The reviewer's top picks are the Pocket E1 for its portability and excellent light output for its size, and the Glocusent neck reading light for its comfort and adjustable light settings. The neck light is especially favoured for reading in the evening.
