7 Best Book Lights For Nighttime Reading

When bedtime’s approaching, make the effort to step away from the screens and switch to analog entertainment, if only for your health’s sake. But for those times when your current read or crossword puzzle is keeping you up, hooked at all hours, it doesn’t mean it should do the same to your partner. Invest in a tiny book light, so they can snooze peacefully while you enjoy your nighttime downtime. These are also great devices for frequent red-eye travelers or even siblings who share a bedroom.

While this book light looks nearly identical to the previous pick, it’s actually a slightly bigger model, and it’s equipped with 12 LED micro-bulbs instead of six.

Three brightness levels let you adjust the luminosity, wherever you’re trying to work.
