Zelco 11214 itty bitty SLIM Booklight  Product Reviews

"This light works great and is very respectful to those around you. It is a bit pricey, but it really does the job on any kind of book. I read some reviews that didn't like the quality of the piece, mostly regarding the construction and plastic battery door and whatnot. I understand those concerns, and concur to some degree. Having said that, I have used mine commuting roughly in NYC for several weeks, tossing it into my bag and pockets without any injury whatsoever. I would definitely recommend this light to the picky book reader, I've used a lot of lights and have not found its equal. It is pricey, but worth it. The only things keeping it from 5 stars would be the battery door and the price."

"I purchased this because a reviewer on Slata called it the "best" of the booklights; yeah, sure. After receiving it, I inserted 3 fresh batteries in the proper slot...all correctly facing up, per instructions. No light. After reinserting the batteries, I tried it again. Still nothing. I tried another 3 fresh batteries, still no light. But the real kicker is when I attempted to try it with the adapter I ordered with it (the Zelco one for LEDs) there was no place in which to insert the plug. And nothing in the instruction sheet regarding use with an adapter. It's back on the way to Amazon for a refund. Buyers beware!"

"I am a person that never sleeps at night and when my husband and I travel, I like to take along a book light to read with so I won't disturb him, (or his snoring!).Anyway....I have tried so many book lights, and have found if I like it for hardback, it won't work for paper, or it never really gives the light I need without constant manipulation of the light, the book or me. Well, I have found that light. This itty bitty slim booklight is exactly what they promised. It fits on all three size books, hardback, trade, and paper, and it is so lightit doesn't make the book top heavy. The double little bulb lights both pages, there is no obstruction when turning pages like in some of the lights, and it is so slim and lightweight, it is great to throw in a purse or briefcase for travel. Thank you, Zelco....."
