## Overview

The 'itty bitty' LED Book Light by Zelco is a sleek, portable reading light featuring two long-lasting LEDs with a 100,000-hour lifespan. Powered by 4 AAA batteries (not included) or an optional AC adapter, it offers up to 14 hours of bright, heat-free illumination. Its adjustable head and arm clip securely onto hardcover or paperback books, while its compact size (4.5 inches collapsed, 7 inches extended) and lightweight design (2.5 ounces) make it perfect for travel and nighttime reading without disturbing others.

## Description

Product Description LED booklight in silver abs plastic. Pull up the arm to turn the light on. Fully adjustable head with 2 bright LED's gives 48 hours of good reading light on 2 AAA Batteries. Comes complete with travel case. desertcart.com As light and compact as the original, this LED version of the Itty Bitty book light rules out the possibility of a bulb burning out during the crucial last chapter. Its two tiny heat-free LED bulbs provide adequate reading light for a grand total of 100,000 hours--enough to keep you reading through decades of use. Clipped to your paperback or hardcover book, the light shines directly on the pages instead of on your sleeping partner. In addition, it carries its power source inside--four AAA batteries (not included) keep it going for up to 14 continuous hours. You can also purchase an AC adapter separately for steady, more economical use. Designed for easy portability and minimal weight, the light collapses to 4-1/2 inches, extends to 7 inches, and tips the scales at a mere 2-1/2 ounces. The bulbs automatically kick on when you extend the telescoping arm, and the lamp hood revolves for perfect placement. A sturdy carrying case is included for storage and travel. --Emily Bedard

Review: Very Pleased - I was really reluctant to order this as I am a huge fan of the "old school" version of the Zelco Itty Bitty Book Light, but after breaking my third one (I have been using them for years), I found that they were no longer available. I had to bite the bullet (after reading mixed reviews) and order the new LED version. So far, I could not be happier. I am using it, as I always did, with the adapter. Light is bright enough, the device is small and light, and the bulb doesn't even get warm. (You could burn yourself on the old version.) My only complaint is that I have a small stockpile of bulbs for my old light...now useless. :-)
Review: Batteries and DC Adapter don't mix! Clip destroys books - The design for using the DC adapter with this little light is extremely poor. It is possible that I missed the warning that tells you to remove the batteries before using the DC adapter. But, it must not have been very big. I combined the two and ended up with batteries that leaked all over inside the battery case. These were brand new batteries. There does not seem to be anything protecting the batteries from the DC adapter and so the power goes right into them. This is bad. Modern devices are expected to work with either battery or adapter without having to remove the batteries. Then, after I cleaned it all up, it worked for about a week w/o the batteries installed. Then the LEDs started flickering. The next day, it was dead. To see if it had to do with the battery leak, I took the little guy apart and found that the power was still getting all of the way up into the head. But something on the little circuit board must have blown. The other part of the design that is bad is that the metal clip has a sharp edge that digs into and tears up the pages of the book. I found this a problem with soft cover books, at least. Putting a little electrical tape of the end made it better. I had hoped that the design of this edition would last longer than previous editions. I've gone through many Zelco lights and stretched out their lifespan by repairing the poor connections as they wear out. This one is beyond my ability and I'm done giving Zelco my money. They are a nice idea, but have no durability. If they were cheaper, it might not be such a big deal, but for their price I would like to see them be far more durable.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great reading accessory.
*by C***. on February 7, 2005*

I had the original "Iddy Biddy Book Light" for years. I finally got tired of using C batteries, and being tethered to the battery pack. I bought the LED Edition book light a few months ago, and I love it. The fact that it holds the batteries was worth the price. The LED lights are great. They don't produce any heat, and the light they cast is very easy on the eyes. I spend usually 1 - 2 hours reading at night, and I never have had any problems. I gave my wife the old book light, and now she wants and LED version for herself. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a book light.
