If you’re a reader, then you know that there’s never enough time for your favorite book. As a result, many try to sneak in some quality reading time in bed before calling it a night. If this describes you, or someone you share a bed with, then it’s worth looking into a dedicated reading light.
You probably already have a bedside lamp, but a reading light makes sure your that your reading, no matter how late into the night it goes, doesn’t affect the person laying next to you. Reading lights tend to be smaller, more focused devices that illuminate only what you’re reading and not the rest of the room. The big choice here is between picking one that clips onto your book, one that attaches to a piece of furniture or one that’s wearable.
If you worried about disrupting your partner’s sleep, or if you just like the idea of reading in the dark, the now is a good time to invest in a reading light. Here are four of the best currently available on Amazon.
