Glocusent Neck Reading Light, Book Light for Reading in Bed

Very happy with my reading light. It’s comfortable and adaptable. Glocusent sent me a message with some useful tips after I had purchased the item; this I found thoughtful and helpful. Good customer service.

I wish I’d come across these lights ages ago. I struggle to see properly to read or sew in the evenings and this light means I can now do so without straining my eyes. The light quality is good and mostly the first strength is enough for me to see properly. I like the fact that it’s easy to move around with it on, I don’t have to sit in the same place. Small downside is that there is a reflection on the tv, but otherwise this is just just what I needed.

I use this for cross stitching and crochet – and I love it. It’s made such a quality of life difference to my crafting. I love that you can adjust the brightness and colour of the light, and I love how light and adjustable it is. If I lost this light, I’d buy another one straight away.

I am very pleased with this item. I use it mainly at bedtime when I want to read without disturbing my husband. The different settings for brightness are very helpful especially if one wants to use for knitting or needlework.

Fantastic. So glad I got – i use for sewing especially dark coloured cloth. And mending or adjusting things eg watch strap
Would have got years ago if i had known about them!

The neck light is good for task jobs, like knitting which is why I purchased it. I am still trying to get the angle right and stop it turning on my neck. It arrived when expected and was well packed. I would purchase from seller again.

I love reading, but I’ve reached an age where I need to wear spectacles – in addition to requiring a good lighting source for optimum enjoyment, especially in the evenings. We have a decent goose-neck LED floor lamp in our lounge, but it’s not very practical to move around – should I want to read in the conservatory, another room, or in bed. Over the years I’ve wasted my money on various ‘book lights’ but found them all to be sadly lacking in so many ways – fiddly to use, not providing sufficient light to cover two pages at once etc, etc. Eventually, I found out about these ’round the neck’ dual reading lights, and was impressed by the practical design of them. They are obviously becoming popular because there are now many companies selling them – so the choice can be overwhelming. I’m rather pedantic and fussy, and I like to get my money’s worth when it comes to parting with my hard-earned cash. This is why I spent LOTS of my precious time weighing up the pros and cons of the myriad of reading lights available on Amazon, before deciding that these ones from the Glocusent brand offered me the best deal. So, was my choice a good one? You bet it was!

This is a cracking lighting device, and does exactly what I’d hoped for – gee, I’m an happy bunny! Straight out of its no-nonsense recyclable cardboard box, I could see that this was an excellent quality product. It’s well made, and has a reassuring ‘weight’ to it, so when you place it around your neck, it stays there. It’s been ergonomically designed -so is very comfortable to wear, to be honest I didn’t even notice it was there once I’d got engrossed in my latest thriller. Before my first use, I charged it using the included USB-C cable, this took about 45 minutes – from an uncharged state (red light) to a fully charged status (green light).

The actual lighting options are excellent. On the rear is a mode button, which you depress to select an appropriate colour temperature: 1st press = yellow, 2nd press = warm white, 3rd press = cool white, 4th press = Off. On the end of each arm is a brightness button: 1st press = general reading, 2nd press = brighter reading, 3rd press = precision work, 4th press = Off. A particularly useful feature is that those arm lights can be operated independently. How long a fully charged unit will last before a re-charge is necessary will of course depend on your use age, and the chosen mode and brightness. I like to select the warm white mode, and set the arms to ‘brighter reading’ – this gives me around 20 hours of power, which I’m more than happy with. The arms by the way are completely flexible, yet stay firmly in the position you adjust them to, so you can accurately direct those beams wherever you wish.

This has definitely been one of my best investments, and it really does enhance my reading pleasure in the evenings. You may wish to purchase one of these lights for other pastimes like knitting, sewing, cross-stitching, crochet, artwork, electrical/plumbing/car repairs, anything really where you need a bright light – and remember, wearing one of these leaves both hands free! Whether you are buying one for yourself, or as a gift to someone, I think this is a great choice. It’s a super product to have at your disposal, and one I can wholeheartedly recommend to other discerning Amazon customers. Many thanks for checking out my review, I do hope you found it of use.
