Characterisitcs of the Best Battery and/or A/C Powered Clip on Book Light Designs that Properly Illuminate Your Books

Properly selected, a book light can reduce eye stress by assuring ample light while reading, even in darkened venues, and can save both energy and money. A sturdy clip on book light design can make your light easy to affix to your book, book holder, or book stand, and many do double duty as hobby, craft, podium or task lights. Light weight incandescent or LED designs can provide exactly the required lighting anywhere you need it, without wasting energy or disturbing others around you, like a spouse or partner sleeping beside you.

By illuminating your reading materials with just the correct quantity and color of light, the right book light can save your eyes from strain and assist your reading in darkened venues. Our eyes require more light as we age, and providing the correct amount of light exactly where we’re reading can be a real challenge. Obviously, the most perfect light for reading is natural sunlight shining directly over your shoulder, but we often need to read when or where such lighting isn’t available. Hence, the right book light, a light we can use anywhere and anytime we choose, iscan be} an incredible convenience. Then, turning off the overheads and other lighting lighting things other than our reading, we can save considerable energy as well as the money it takes to pay for it.

When choosing between incandescent and LED book light designs, three primary concerns include: the different color or temperature of light produced by these two distinct technologies, the cost of original purchase, and the cost of operation over the lifetime of the light. Incandescent lights typically create a warm, somewhat golden-tinged light, and incandescent bulbs typically last between 15-25 hours of use and then must be replaced. LED lights produce a whiter, cooler light, with many designs now optimized to approximate the output of light from the sun. Hence, most readers find the light of modern LEDs to be more “sun like”, producing greater clarity and contrast and making most printing easier to read. While replacement bulbs for many incandescent book light designs are generally available in local stores, as well as over the Internet, the expense and inconvenience of replacement can really add up over time. Because LEDs offer life expectancies of 10,000 to 50,000 hours, their 10-20% greater initial cost of acquisition quickly becomes irrelevant. Generally, LED lights are now more popular than the older incandescent.

Battery powered book light designs are the handiest, since your light can be used almost anywhere. Unfortunately, batteries themselves are also a replaceable item, typically lasting 20-30 hours of use at best, in either LED or incandescent designs. Available A/C adapters are offered for most book lights, but another possibility is to make use of a good battery recharger and rechargeable batteries. Most book light designs make use of either AA or AAA batteries, and many rechargeable options are on offer. In addition, if your light is typically used near to an electrical outlet, an optionally available A/C adapter is usually a worthwhile investment.

Finally, the uniformity of light dispersal and the area over which it is dispersed is also an important consideration when choosing the perfect book light for a particular application. If your light is only to be used to light up a standard mass market paperback book, a simple LED or incandescent book light design will probably be adequate; but, if you read magazines, most hard cover books or a stand full of music, you’ll want a more powerful design that can distribute the lighting over an appropriately larger area. The best way to determine the most perfect design for any particular application will be to test it in actual use. Wherever you shop, be sure your dealer provides both good pre-sale and return service, just in case your first choice doesn’t quite hit the mark. With a bit of application, you can acquire the best book light for each and every application.
