Do you love reading books in bed but hate your overhead lights with a burning passion? Well, it may be time to invest in a book light. Lucky for you, the internet is brimming with options, with a ton of highly-rated models to choose from. But with so many choices, it can be hard to determine which book light is best for you.
If you're not sure which direction to go, basic is best, and this best-selling Gritin 19 LED Rechargeable Book Light is a tried-and-true reviewer favourite. Nearly 10,000 fans have given it five stars, singing its praises for having a long-lasting battery, adaptable settings, and an affordable price tag.
The horizontal design of the Gritin 19 LED Rechargeable Book Light gives it a wide irradiation range, and it's equipped with 19 high-quality LED lamp beads that provide soft, stable lighting for your late-night reads. It also has three colour temperature modes (amber light, mixed light, and white light), and you can adjust the brightness from 10% to 100%, allowing you to customize your lighting to your preferences. You also won't have to worry about any flickering, shadows, or glare.
Thanks to its flexible gooseneck, which can rotate 360 degrees, you'll never struggle to keep the light on your page. This also makes it easier to store when you're travelling or want to tuck it away inside your nightstand. As for device compatibility, the strong clip and non-slip pads keep it securely attached to e-readers, paperback books, shelves, and just about anything else.
Let's talk battery life. The Gritin 19 LED Rechargeable Book Light will give you up to 80 hours of juice on a full charge depending on the settings you're using. Naturally, if your light settings are at their highest, it will die a little faster. It comes with a USB-C cable, so you won't have to steal one from another device in your collection, and it only takes two hours of charge to get back up to a full battery. As a bonus, there are four LED indicators to show you the real-time power level, so you'll never have to do any guesswork.
As you can tell by its near-perfect rating of 4.8 stars on Amazon Canada, reviewers love the Gritin 19 LED Rechargeable Book Light. They say the different light settings are brilliant and that it recharges fast. Many also comment that it fits most sizes of books, though some had trouble with ultra-thin paperbacks (which is to be expected). While most raved about the adjustable brightness, some found that it was more difficult to adjust than they'd like, so that may be something to keep in mind before purchasing.
