Characterisitcs of the Best Battery and/or A/C Powered Clip on Book Light Designs that Properly Illuminate Your Books
Properly selected, a book light can reduce eye stress by assuring ample light while reading, even in the darkest places, and can save both energy and money. A well designed clip on book light design can make your light easy to attach to your book, book holder, or book stand, and many can do double duty as hobby, craft, podium or task lights. Light weight incandescent or LED designs can provide exactly the required amount of light exactly where you need it, without wasting energy or disturbing those around you, like a spouse or partner sleeping beside you.
By lighting your reading materials with just the correct amount and color of light, a book light can help to save your eyes from strain and help you read even when the lights are low. Our eyes require more light as we age, and providing the right amount of light for what we’re reading can be a real challenge. Obviously, the most perfect light for reading is natural sunlight shining directly from over your shoulder, but we often need to read when or where such lighting simply isn’t available. Hence, the correctly selected book light, a light we can use any time and any place we choose, iscan be} an incredible convenience. By then turning off the overheads and other lighting lighting things other than our reading, we can save considerable energy as well as the money required to pay for it.
When choosing between incandescent and LED designs, three primary concerns include: the differences in the type of light produced by these two technologies, the cost of acquisition, and the cost of operation over time. Incandescent lights typically create a warm, somewhat yellowish light, and incandescent bulbs typically last between 15-25 hours of use and then have to be replaced. LED lights put out a whiter, cooler light, and many designs are now optimized to be the equivalent of the output of light from the sun. Today, most readers find the light of modern LEDs to be more “sun like”, producing greater clarity and contrast and making most printing easier to read. While replacement bulbs for many incandescent book light designs are generally available in local electronic retail shops, as well as over the Internet, the expense and inconvenience of replacement can really mount up over time. Since LEDs offer life expectancies of 10,000 to 50,000 hours, the 10-20% greater initial cost of acquisition quickly becomes irrelevant. For these and other reasons, LED book lights are now the preferred choice over the older incandescent.
Battery powered clip on lights are the handiest, since they can be used anywhere. Unfortunately, batteries themselves are also a an item that must be replaced, typically lasting 20-30 hours of use at best, in LED or incandescent designs. Optional A/C adapters are available for most book lights, and another option is to use a good battery recharger and rechargeable batteries. Most book lights make use of either AA or AAA batteries, and many rechargeable options are on offer. In addition, if your light is typically used close to an electrical outlet, an optionally available A/C adapter can be a money saving investment.
Finally, the area over which the light is dispersed is also a consideration when choosing the perfect book light for a specific application. If your light will only be used to light up a standard size, mass market paperback, a single LED or incandescent book light design will likely be sufficient; however, if you read mostly hard cover books, newspapers and magazines, or even a full music stand of sheet music, you’ll want a much more powerful light which can distribute the light over an appropriately larger area. The best way to determine the best design for any particular application will be to test it in actual use. Wherever you shop, be sure your dealer provides both good information and advice before the sale, and a good return policy, in case your first choice doesn’t work out. With diligence, you can acquire the best clip on light for any use.
