Beam N Read Hands Free Travel and Reading Light
New edition Beam n Read Hands-Free Light delivers a wide & bright light that lights up 2 book pages and doesn’t disturb others. It’s a true reading light that works with all printed books, Kindles and other eReaders (whether naked, skinned, or covered), PLUS newspapers, magazines, newsletters, loose documents, and other items that can’t support a clip-on light. Worn around the neck, there’s no need to shift it when reading paperbacks.
Included are two 2 special Relaxation Filters: BNR Orange for a softer, warmer light that blocks energizing blue light (especially useful when reading to relax in bed); BNR Red to block blue light and reduce ambient light for sensitive bed partners.
Standard alkaline AA batteries (not included) last an extra long 100 hours, far longer than flashlights and clip-on lights resulting in a lower cost to use (and fewer batteries in the trash). This light is still bright when others have gone dim. Save batteries for when you’re on the go with the optional USB/AC Power Kit with 12 ft of cable that lets you plug into the included USB/AC adapter. Or plug into a USB car adapter/charger, or a computer USB port, or a USB adapter/charger for cell phones, etc.
In addition to reading, this 3 LED hands-free light is great for crafts, travel, and walking in dim or dark places such as an attic, basement, or around the house during a power outage. Use it for writing journals, working, camping, changing diapers at night, and a lot more.
Makes a Great Gift!

Review
I was lucky enough to have been chosen to receive a Beam n Read Light to test out and review.
I am not sure how I lived without this product all these years. I am a massive reader, especially at night in bed. But, not wanting to keep my husband awake, my lamp was on low which doesn’t always provide the most light for reading. Sure if I’m reading my Kindle Fire, no problems because it is backlit, but a traditional book? Well let’s just say as my eyes got older I needed more light to be able to read the book properly.
From the first moment I started using the Beam n Read light, I could read my books so much easier and it didn’t keep my husband awake. I do use the orange filter to mute the light, but it still makes it so much easier to read (and stay up way too late enjoying all those books I have piling up!). I haven’t tried the red filter or without any filter at all because I think I found my perfect solution with the orange filter. I also like how you just flip up the light to turn it on and the handy neck strap keeps it from falling on the floor or other places if I happen to move around .
I’m sure that this light has a multitude of other options for use, but for me, the main use is as a reading light.
I did also receive the adapter, but haven’t had a chance to use it because there are no easy access plugs in my bedroom and I haven’t used it anywhere else yet. But I can see this being very handy and save on battery wear.
We give this 5 paws, and if my scale went higher I would rate it higher!

“I’ve never liked clip-on book lights because they add weight to the book, sometimes fall off, make it awkward to hold the book, and interfere with page turning. The Beam N Read has none of these problems, making them a pleasure to use” – BethFishReads.com
