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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

0:00 finding a good book light is important and inside this video I'm going to be testing out the top five best-selling book lights from Amazon we're going to be testing out the light output and quality of the lights as well as the comfortability of using these book lights and we have all different kinds of book lights that we're going to be testing inside of this video we'll be going over each one of these book lights individually and by the end of the video I'm going to let you know which one is my favorite and which one I would ultimately recommend without further Ado let's go ahead and start off with our smallest book light from 86 Lux the pocket E1 the pocket E1 is a very slim and lightweight book light it attaches to your book using this little clamp here and you can clamp it either on the pages or on the backing of the book we
0:45 also have this swivel head right here so you can direct the light in any direction that you need it and everything is controlled with these two buttons on the side this is going to be your on andof button as well as the button where you can change the warmth of your light So currently we are set to the warmest setting of light I can change this to more of a cooler white and I can change this to a bright white light the button right above that is going to be your brightness level so we can start off with dim then we have medium and then we have the brightest level right here you'll notice in this footage that the light does a great job of highlighting and brightening both sides of this large book being how small it is it provides way more light than I expected it to which is why I really do like the pocket E1 it's very slim easy to put in your pocket or you could just set it inside your book kind of like a
1:32 larger and thicker bookmark the LED light provided is bright enough in my opinion and I love that it is USBC rechargeable so you're going to get faster charge time with this light overall if you're looking for a slim and lightweight but bright book light then I highly recommend the pocket E1 second on our list is going to be this USB rechargeable clamp light from glocusent this relatively small book light from glocusent has quite a few features making it a standout in my opinion as far as book lights go to attach it to your book you have this little folding clamp and you can attach it either to the pages of the book or to the backing of the book once attached you'll notice that we do have a swivel head here that will tip up and down as well as left to right giving you full control of your light source in your reading area we
2:17 have three different buttons here we have a power button for on and off we have a brightness button right underneath it so this is low this is medium and this is high we also have a battery indicator here at the bottom which is really nice to have and we can change the color of the light so this is going to be bright white this is going to be your darker warm light and this is going to be your in between that bright white and the warm light overall I'm very impressed with this light from glocusent I love the fact that I can remove this bottom piece here and it exposes a usba so I could charge this easily with a usba charging brick there's a lot to love about this light from glocusent I love that it's usba rechargeable and it's built into the bottom as well as all the button controls and the battery indicator you really can't go wrong with this book light next we have another light from
3:04 glocusent and this is going to be the neck reading light this is the only neck reading light that I'm testing out in this video and this one was the highest rated one on Amazon so let's go ahead and see how it pans out I've always appreciated neck lights and this one from glocusent doesn't disappoint it's very comfortable around the neck especially because it has this little pad here it's kind of like a velvet feel and we also have these adjustable and bendable lights that sit on either side of your neck the amount of brightness that you get from these lights is pretty incredible this is going to be low mode and I can bump it up to medium and then I can bump it up to high mode on both sides and I am controlling that just using these brightness control buttons on each one of the heads of this light now back here in the middle of the light I can change the Warmness or the
3:49 coolness of the light so this is going to be your warm light this is going to be your daylight or in between warm and cool light and this is going to be your cool light so I love having the different shades of color to choose from so maybe in the evening time if you prefer less light this warm light is a great option ultimately this makes a very comfortable experience around your neck and using it as your light source because you can bend these and dictate the direction of the light so you get the perfect light source for reading you're also going to get USBC rechargeable so faster charge time and because this is a neck light you have a bigger battery space so you can have more battery life with this compared to other smaller book lights in my opinion this neck light is definitely worth it especially if you don't mind having a light around your neck while reading I
4:34 just love keeping my book the way it is and I prefer having something like this around my neck than having a light clamped to my book in conclusion I do believe that this is worth it as a book light next we have this clipon light by vavo this light is unique in that it is fairly lightweight and small but it has an adjustable clamp that can fit on any size book this lightweight and adjustable clamping book light from voo has many features that make it a very capable book light for most people connecting this book light to your book is more simple than some of the other ones that I've reviewed in the past to attach it to your book you just simply open up the clamp clamp it down and you can start using your book light the Bendy and adjustable neck on the book light make it a great companion for
5:21 reading simply because you can control your light source anywhere on the book everything is controlled by this one button here at the top this is going to be your low mode and you'll notice that we still have quite a bit of light around the book this is going to be medium and it covers almost the entire book at medium and if you really need light while you're reading you could turn it on to high mode and be able to see the entirety of this large book and being able to maneuver it to get the perfect amount of light on your book is a huge Plus in my opinion we also have a battery indicator here on the back you'll notice that if I press this button it shows that we have 3/4 battery left and we also have a micro USB charging port Port however I do wish that it was USBC rechargeable that's probably the only con that I can think of when it comes to this book light I
6:07 love the design the clamp is extremely easy to use I don't get it caught on the pages or the backing of the book and the light itself is very bright providing plenty of light for reading a book so overall this is definitely a great book light and the only thing that I would improve about this is adding a USBC port for faster charging lastly we have another clamp-on book light from Grit this book light is pretty similar to some of the other ones that we reviewed inside this video but I want to see how it tests against those other book lights so let's take a look this matte black clamping book light from griton has a lot to love first off I love the design and the flexible neck on the light it's going to allow you to have the ultimate customization for your lighting Source clamping it onto your book is extremely
6:53 simple you can either choose to clamp it onto the pages or you can just clamp it onto the backing of your book and once it's attached you can adjust the light here using that flexible neck and all the light source is going to be controlled by this button on top you'll notice that we have three different types of light and it's all just going to be one brightness but it's plenty bright enough for you to be able to read the book without needing a second light source so this is going to be your bright cool white this is going to be your warm light and this is going to be your brightest function here providing a mixture between cool light and warm light overall I think that this little flexible light from griten is well worth it when it comes to book lights it's USBC rechargeable so you're going to get faster charge time with this light and I love that the clamp here provides almost
7:39 a grippy soft surface so it's not going to scratch or scuff up your book I for one love the one button control and the Simplicity of this light and the fact that I can fold it up and easily store it in my backpack it's a solid light for what it's worth out of all of these book lights two of them really came out on top for me and that is going to be the pocket E1 just because of how small this book light is it's really simple to throw into my bag to take with me while I'm traveling I love the clamp on it and the light output is also excellent for its size and lastly my favorite book light has to be this neck reading light by glocusent I love using this style of book light just because it's comfortable I don't have to clamp anything onto my book and I just simply put it around my
8:24 neck and I can easily adjust a different angle of the light to get the perfect light setting for reading in the evening so if you're looking for a comfortable lighting option I definitely recommend this neck book light thank you so much for watching this video and I hope that it helps if you're interested in more product comparisons top five best videos and product reviews make sure to subscribe to this Channel and like this video I'm David and I create all kinds of different review content in the home in kitchen Niche and I will see all of you guys when I release my next video
