Glocusent Upgraded LED Neck Reading Light

£26.99

For many of us, reading is a big pastime before bed to help us properly wind down for the evening. However, we are often then faced with the problem of turning on a lamp and sitting awkwardly under it to see the page, or putting the main light on which does not help create a cosy and calm atmosphere many of us are seeking before bed. Therefore, handy reading lights are perfect for allowing you to still read and avoid eye strain without having to then get up and turn lights off ruining your cosy and potentially sleepy vibe!

As an avid reader, I was super excited to test Glocusent’s Upgraded LED Neck Reading Light as I’m always on the hunt for a reading accessory which makes the whole experience more comfortable. The Neck Reading Light it is designed to sit comfortably around your neck and illuminate your book leaving your hands free to turn the pages. Straight away the reading light was lightweight with a sturdy neckband to hold the lights in place without feeling uncomfortable after a few hours of use.

It comes with three light mode options: warm yellow, warm white and cool white. The warm yellow has been specifically designed for reading before bed as it boosts your melanin and cares for your eyes at a perfectly designed 1800k ambient mode. The other brighter white lights are better for more focused reading in a darkened room. On one arm there is a button to turn the lights on and set a 30-minute timer, whilst on the other you can adjust the light colour mode and the light intensity. This was great as I could customise the light to how dark my room was and make the light dimmer when my partner was sleeping beside me.

Having tested out the Glocusent LED Reading Light for a few weeks I am thoroughly impressed. Not only does it come with a 30-minute timer to auto-turn off (great for when I fall asleep reading on occasion), but I haven’t had to charge the reading light once! The light is advertised to hold up to 80 hours of battery life, which is plenty even for avid readers like me who will read for a few hours every day before bed. However, should I have to charge it, it comes with a useful USB-C type cable which you just plug into the back of the reading light.

Overall, if you are a big reader then the Glocusent Upgraded LED Neck Reading light is perfect for you! With multiple light mode options, hands-free design, and easy intuitive buttons it’s hard to fault this reading light. I think the light would also be great for handheld hobbies such as knitting or crochet so you can see what you’re doing more easily without the need for another lamp. Ultimately, the functionality of the light is great, and I will definitely continue to reach for it every time I want to read in a dark room.

Pros:

• 3 light colour options, with 3 brightness settings for each one
• 80 hour battery life – up to 20 days of reading at 30 minutes a day even on the brightest setting
• 30-minute timer to auto-turn off

Cons:

• The only small con I could see is the reading light does not come with a plug for the cable however, most of us have a plug readily available so this isn’t much of an issue but is worth noting
