Efficient Booklight: LightWedge LED

by Justin Thomas on October 13, 2004

Night Vision LightWedgeThe LightWedge is another LED book light. We like the night vision-friendly red LED illumination version. The light has two illumination modes, and can be changed at a touch. If it were not made of acrylic, it would be that much more meta-efficient. Takes four AAA batteries.

Thanks to Thomas for the tip.

I have one of these and it was great for a while, much better than the traditional booklight, LED or not. After a trip to the beach it took on a lot of scratches very quickly when exposed to a bit of sand and the friction of books rubbing together in my bookbag… It’s pretty much useless now :/

Keep it away from dirt and it’ll probably treat you well for many years!

Thanks for letting us know. Durability is an important metaefficient factor, so this is disappointing.

If you aren’t very hard on things it could probably serve a long and useful life. It would need a Crizal coating like my eyeglasses to last the 100,000 hours it would take the LEDs to go out. :/

Maybe the next model?
