It’s a pain many of us live with daily: the best time and place for reading books is in bed, late at night, and yet there’s no sunlight with which to see the pages. For many folks, this might be a good reason to make the switch to a dedicated, backlit reading tablet like the Kindle Fire. I’ve read plenty of books on my phone’s Kindle app over the years, but I’m old-fashioned; I like to feel the weight of a book in my hands, experience the full intent of its design and typesetting, run my thumb along the deckled edges, and turn the pages myself.
The real solution, of course, is a good reading light. And right now, Amazon’s selling a beautiful $24 Gritin 9-LED Rechargeable Book Light for just $12
Gritin G1330 9-LED Rechargeable Book Light, $12 (was $24) at Amazon
To save $12 on the Gritin Rechargeable Book Light, you’ll want to opt for the simple matte-black option, but it is available in a variety of different colors: pink, white, purple, cyan, green, blue, and various shades thereof. It’s made of silicone, weighs just 64 grams, and it offers both stepless dimming and three different color-temperature modes: mixed color, cool white, and a pleasant “warm” setting. You can adjust the brightness by holding the button or swap between the three lighting modes with a simple click.
Gritin says you can enjoy your reading without any eyestrain even after hours of extended use, thanks to its natural, soft light that doesn’t flicker. It’s provided by nine LED bulbs and a built-in battery that charges in just 2.5 hours. At low brightness, it can provide light for up to 80 hours on a full charge cycle. The book light clips firmly onto your book anywhere you like using an anti-slip clamp, and its flexible neck provides up to 360 degrees of maneuverability.
“I love this fantastic book light,” said one satisfied shopper. “It’s easy to charge with my Android phone charger, and the blue-light option is easy on the eyes for late-night reading. The white light is perfect for any time you need some extra light, and the bendable arm lets you adjust to any angle — and actually holds its position, unlike other lights I’ve had in the past.”
