Don’t tell me you are “down for a good time” unless you’re page-turning a good old-fashioned book late into the night with a book light.
I’ve researched countless book lights before finding “the one.” Others fell short, requiring batteries (who has time for that?), bulky clips that made page turning cumbersome, or lights so bright I may as well turn on the overhead. The best part? Amazon included my fave in its Big Spring Sale, probably because they’re “down for a good time,” too. It’s the Glocusent USB Rechargeable Book Light, and it may even improve your sleep.

Harvard Health suggests that exposure to light, especially blue light, can disrupt your body’s natural production of melatonin. Additionally, the National Sleep Foundation recommends dimming the lights for at least an hour before bedtime to encourage your body’s natural melatonin cycle for a deep and restful sleep. But for those on the go, every bit helps, so even 20 minutes of reading with your book light could improve your sleep cycle as it has mine.
The Glocusent USB book light has five brightness levels and three alternative shades with a purpose. The first setting filters out blue light up to 99.99%, the second gives an atmospheric ambient shade (a personal fave), and the third is crisp and bright for intense study purposes, which I’ll openly admit is not for me.
As an avid reader, I can attest that this product’s promise of a long-lasting battery really does hold up. I’ve been using my light for over two months now without recharging it once. When the time comes, all it needs is a simple USB cable for a quick and convenient recharge.
The sleek clamp clips onto any size book and is easily adjustable. One five-star reviewer, out of thousands of favorable ratings, said, “I wake up and read at night, and the filtered light doesn’t fool my brain into thinking that it’s daytime. The light makes reading so comfortable that I use it almost whenever I’m reading.” They called it the “best book light” they have ever used. Plus, it weighs less than an egg (raw or cooked).
Now protect those eyes and fall asleep much easier with this fan fave.
