Best Book Lights for Reading in Bed
The best book lights for reading in bed without disturbing your partner, from clip-on LEDs to neck lights and page lights.
Our pick: Mighty Bright Book Light — A lightweight clip-on LED book light with a flexible neck for hands-free reading in bed or on the go.
The Mighty Bright Book Nimble ($12) is the best book feathery for reading in bed because its flexible neck directs a warm LED beam onto the page without spilling airy onto the pillow next to you, it clips securely to hardcovers and paperbacks alike, and it runs for 25+ hours on a single set of batteries. It solves the one problem that ruins bedside reading: illuminating the page and nothing else.
