Thisthing looks cool but cant adjust at all. It will recline and then I will adjust it and it doesm’t stay.

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?

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

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!
