Characterisitcs of the Best Battery and/or A/C Powered Clip on Book Light Designs that Properly Light Your Books
Posted on October 13th, 2009 No commentsProperly selected, a book light can reduce eye strain by assuring ample light while reading, even in darkened venues, and can help to conserve both energy and money. A sturdy clip on book light design can make your light easy to securely attach to your book, book holder, or book stand, and many designs can also function as craft, podium, hobby or other task lighting. Light weight incandescent or LED designs can provide just the right amount of light exactly where you need it, without wasting energy or disturbing those around you, like a spouse or partner watching TV.
By illuminating your reading materials with just the correct quantity and temperature of light, the right 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 correct amount of light exactly where we’re reading can be difficult. Obviously, the most perfect light for reading is natural sunlight shining directly over your shoulder, but we often need to read when or where sunlight simply isn’t available. Hence, the right 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 save considerable energy and the money required to pay for it.
When making the choice between incandescent and LED designs, three primary considerations are: the different color or temperature of light produced by these two technologies, the cost of acquisition, and the cost of operation over the lifetime of the light. Incandescent lights typically produce a warm, somewhat golden-tinged light, and incandescent bulbs typically last between 15-25 hours of use and then have to be replaced. LED lights produce a whiter, cooler light, with many designs now optimized to be the equivalent of the output of lighting from the sun. Today, many readers find the output of modern LEDs to be more “sun like”, producing greater clarity and contrast and making most printing easier to read. While replacement incandescent bulbs are usually available in local electrical and hardware stores, as well as over the Internet, the cost of replacement can really add up over time. Since LEDs offer life expectancies of 10,000 to 50,000 hours, their 10-20% greater initial purchase price quickly becomes irrelevant. Generally, then, LED book lights are now the preferred choice over the older incandescent.
Battery powered book light designs are the handiest, since they can be used almost anywhere. Unfortunately, batteries themselves are also a replaceable item, typically lasting only 20-30 hours of use at best, in either LED or incandescent designs. Available A/C adapters are offered for most book lights, and another option is to make use of rechargeable batteries and a recharger. Most book lights make use of either AA or AAA batteries, and many excellent models are available from which to choose. Additionally, if your light is typically used near to an electrical outlet, an optional A/C adapter can be a worthwhile investment.
Finally, the area over which the light is dispersed is also an important consideration when choosing the right book light for a particular application. If your light is only to be used to light up a standard mass market paperback book, a single LED or incandescent book light design will likely be adequate; but, if you read magazines, most hard cover books or a stand full of music, you’ll need a more powerful design which distributes the lighting over an appropriately larger area. The ideal way to determine the most perfect light for any particular application will be to test it in actual use. Wherever you shop, be sure your retailer offers both good pre-sale and return service, just in case your first choice doesn’t quite hit the mark. With diligence, you can find the best portable light for just about any application.
