I WAS DISAPPOINTED..... September 2, 2004

I bought this with joyful anticipation. I got home, placed new batteries in the wedge, lowered the lights, and settled in bed expecting a nice evening reading. The first thing I noticed was that my light wasn't even. The lighting across my page was "wavy"; light and darker bands emanating from each bulb, much like the ripple from dropping a pebble in a pond. They weren't moving, but the alteration in light really made reading difficult. I don't know if this is a "bad" wedge, but other factors are going to keep me from replacing it with another one. The main factor is comfort. If you like to read laying down, you will find it difficult to hold the wedge in place over the page. You will also find it cumbersome to always position it over EVERY page. With a typical book light, you simply attach the light to the front or back of the book and never have to really deal with the light again. With this light, you have to make it part of your reading experience. Sure, it looks cool, but who am I trying to impress? I can't wait for the day they develop a flat, handheld monitor that is appealing and as easy on the eyes as paper. Then my continual search for a quality book light will end.

I have been using the original Lightwedge for awhile (for Hardcovers) and when the new paperback version came out I was sure to buy it. It is just like the original Lighwedge, just smaller. It has two LEDs as well which I was afraid it would only be one. It definitely lights up the entire page very well. I used to use the Itty Bitty Book Light but didn't like using it for hardcovers because I felt it did not light the entire page well. For paperbacks it worked well but I like the Lightwedge much more for both paper and hardbacks. Although you should be careful because it is easy to scratch the plastic. I do not find it noticeable when you are reading against the page. If you hold it in the air you can see the scratches but when it is on the page you don't. I don't find it annoying to have to turn the page with as some people may have complained. It also looks real cool using it. If you want to try something new and are looking for a good book light this is definitely one to try.
