Gift shopping for a book lover? This little reading light is down to just $11

Must read

If you’re gift shopping for a book lover but don’t know what they love to read, take it from this bibliophile, the Glocusent Book Light is the gift they’ll be thanking you for will be thanking you for as they turn every single page. This little gizmo lets a late-night reader wind down with a good book in bed without driving their partner crazy (talk about the gift that keeps on giving!) and right now, Prime members can grab it on sale for just $11, down from $23 — that’s over 50% off!

Amazon

Say hello to your new favorite reading companion! Multiple brightness modes and lighting angles make this perfect for binging your next must-read novel.

Why is it a good deal? 💰

At over 50% off, this is a great deal and the lowest price we’ve ever seen (although the prices do vary depending on one of the five colors you choose). It also makes for a great self-care treat. Don’t strain your eyes — read your favorite books with proper lighting.

Why do I need this? 🤔

With an impressive five brightness levels, this book light isn’t your average reading aid. It also has three color modes that serve different purposes: Amber, which filters out 99.9% of blue light and helps minimize eye strain; Breeze, ideal for comfortably reading novels; and Precise for enhanced clarity. With so many options, the book lover in your life (or you) will be able to find the perfect setting, allowing them to read what’s on the page without disturbing their partner (or hurting their eyes).

It provides up to 80 hours of light — depending on the brightness level — and when the battery’s low, it easily recharges via USB. Another cool feature is how adjustable it is; there are multiple angles it can be positioned, and you can flip it left, right or downwards. It’s been an absolute game-changer for me as I whittle down my mountain of unread books to a mere mole hill.

It’s also lightweight and compact, making it easy to toss it into a bag and take anywhere!

What reviewers say 💬

Nearly 16,000 readers use this light to lose sleep with their favorite stories.

Pros 👍

This reader raved that it was a great bedtime companion: “Great design, very easy to clip on and position for optimal bedtime reading, great lighting intensity options, long battery life, easily recharged … I loved this thing so much I bought another one to gift a book-loving friend! Five radiant stars!”

Other shoppers couldn’t get enough of its compact size. “I have had several reading lights, and this is the absolute best one I have ever had,” gushed another impressed shopper. “I love the size of it, and the fact that you can change the strength of the light or dim it as much as you want. I love the swivel so that you can adjust it for reading either side of the page, and it’s not big and bulky, it’s compact and easy to charge.”

And if you’re worried about it not keeping up with your reading habits, one fan says this isn’t a problem. “I love the different light color options as well as the different brightnesses. I also like the fact that it is adjustable from left to right. I also have not even lost one of the four dots that indicate battery power, after using it for over a week.”

Cons 👎

One five-star fan’s only complaint? “I wish there was no metal on the clip. I wish it was a full plastic clip so I wouldn’t be worried about it scratching my cover.”

The only other word of warning is to be careful when putting it on your book. “The only downside is you do have to be careful sliding it on your book pages, I have caused small tears at the top of my pages. That might be due to me trying to put it on to many pages though.”

This reviewer put it best: “These are amazing… I just got one pair for myself, and I’m buying three more right now. Actually, make that four…. three are gifts and one is for myself in case anything happens to these. These headphones are incredible and for the price?? They could charge much more. I’m grateful to be able to get such a quality pair for such a nice price.”
