One of the best reading bed light
Need to buy a new light which is a shame because the instrument is fine except for the bulbs which are no longer functioning.

A very good product!!
I've had my light for over a year now. I've personally not experience the flickering that others have in their comments. I use mine for reading, but only about once a week; however, I use the light every day! I use it as a flashlight for walking around my house after I've turned off the lights. I also use it as a "mood" light when I don't want to light a candle. Simply laying it on a table facing up produces a glow to a room. Not having to worry about batteries is an obvious plus! I am typically away from my home two nights a week. I never go without this light.

I purchased this as a gift for my niece who is a freshman in college, in a room for four. She claims it is "awesome", doesn't bother anyone else and is easy to use.

I like this booklight. I've had a few in the past that were of poor quality and it seems this one will not break. It lights up the pages sufficiently to allow me to read in the dark (and I like to read in a bright room). The only problem is that the light flickers when adjusted.

I bought this light for my husband who reads in bed when I'm sleeping. It is bright enough without causing a glare to disturb me.
I have 2 Brookstone booklights and this is one of them. I like it much better than my other light because it's adjustable and produces a lot of light. HOWEVER: at some positions, the light flickers, so you have to readjust to a less than optimal position in order to get it to stop. AND you have to continuously move its position in order to illuminate various locations on the page(s) of the book. Better than some, but too expensive to really recommend it. Two stars for the amount of light.

The light goes out when you adjust the angle of the battery case. But with careful adjustment it can be made to come on again.
from Billings, MT on 2/13/2008
Adjustment or movement at either of the hinge points causes light to go out. Once it is lit, it is great, but keeping it still enough so that the light stays lit is next to impossible.

I've tried many kinds,looking for the best booklight for reading in bed and on planes. All have fallen short until this one. It lights both pages of a paperback, and the charge lasts a long time. Being rechargable, it doesn't require replacement batteries, and will pay for itself over time. While the charger is heavy, the booklight isn't. For a weeklong trip, it's not even necessary to take the charger - reading a couple of hours a day will not deplete the charge enough to require the charger. On a two week trip to Costa Rica, we took the charger, but only had to use it once, after about a week and a half.
Now I need to buy another one for my wife.
from Orlando,FL on 1/26/2008
I use this product in the middle of the night when I can't sleep to catch upon my reading. I also use it sometimes to illuminate my keyboard since the area where it is is sometimes very dark.

Since I am an English teacher, I always have papers to grade. The book light makes it possible even when traveling without disturbing the driver.
from San Diego, CA on 1/20/2008
Now my wife can read in bed, as she loves to do, and not disturb me with an overhead light. It's a win-win situation!
from Lisle, IL on 1/18/2008
I like that I never need to change batteries so it's always ready to go. It's serves double duty as a flashlight.
from montgomery, newyork on 1/18/2008
I really enjoy this product. It gives off plenty of light to read. I would recommend this to anyone.
from Dallas, TX on 1/13/2008
Great for reading late at night so you don't bother anyone else. Rechargeable battery so you don't go through batteries like other reading lights.
from Boston, MA on 1/12/2008
Perfect for reading in bed without keeping partner awake due to bright lights.
from Minneapolis, MN on 1/11/2008
I like that it's rechargable and I don't have to worry about having batteries. Good for travel.
from West Palm Beach, FL on 1/11/2008
The design is neat. I like the rechargeable feature. The price is too high, though.
This light has tremendous light spread. Nice high-end feel and the charge lasts a long time. Great product.
from Western PA on 1/7/2008
This is a great booklight. Small & rechargeable. Couldn't be better
from NJ on 1/6/2008
The product was larger and heavier than anticipated, but overall not too bad,
from Westfield, MA on 1/6/2008
I hope the lights work forever, because there is no information about replacing them.
from OK on 1/5/2008
This was a gift for my brother, who wanted an LED light for reading in bed. He was absolutely thrilled with this one -- according to him, it's perfect.
from Brooklyn, NY on 1/4/2008
Reading at night is so much better without looking for new batteries.

This is a Christmas present for our Son in law who travels a lot.
His comment was: "Super, that is what I need"
from Mayberry, South Carolina on 12/21/2007
The book light is very bright, and has two levels of lighting. It will not disturb others around you, especially if you are reading and someone else is sleeping. Very useful and convent, and holds a long charge. However, when the light is readjusted, the light flickers or temporarily goes out.
