Energizer LED Booklite Book Light - Clip-On, Batteries Included

Booklite is a small LED reading light that clips to the edge of a book and bends to point where you need it. The head sits on a slim flexible arm, so once the clip is on the cover you can aim the light at the page rather than across the room. The body is black with a blue switch and clip detail, and the whole thing is light enough to leave attached to whatever you are reading. Brightness is 14lm, a modest close-range output meant to light a page at arm's length rather than fill a room. The pack states that two CR2032 lithium coin cells are included, so it works straight out of the packaging.

It earns its place on a bedside table, where one person can carry on reading while another sleeps, because the light travels with the book instead of washing across the bed. It is equally at home in a bag for a train or a plane, in a caravan or a bunk, or clipped to a folder of notes at a desk with no lamp of its own. Being self-contained, with the cells carried inside it, there is no cable to trail and nothing to plug in, which is what makes it useful in a tent porch or a spare room where the nearest socket is right across the floor.

Control is as simple as it looks. The switch turns the light on and off, and the manufacturer states that it is not dimmable, so there is one brightness level and no settings to work through. Runtime is not stated by the manufacturer, and neither is an IP rating, so treat it as an indoor light and keep it dry. CR2032 is a common coin cell size and easy to replace. Each order is one book light, and it sits alongside the Energizer head torches, hand torches and camping lanterns we stock.

How does it attach to a book?

A clip at the base grips the cover or a page edge, and the flexible arm above it bends so the head can be aimed down at the text you are reading.

Does it come with batteries, and what size are they?

Yes. The pack states that two CR2032 lithium coin cells are included, so you can use it immediately and replace them later with the same widely sold size.

Can I adjust the brightness or dim it?

No. The manufacturer states it is not dimmable, so the switch simply turns the single 14lm output on and off with no further settings.

Is 14 lumens enough to read by without waking someone beside me?

It is a small, close-range output designed to light a page rather than a room, which is exactly why it suits shared bedrooms, bunks and night trains.

How long will the cells last?

The manufacturer does not state a runtime for this light, so we cannot quote one. CR2032 cells are inexpensive and sold almost everywhere batteries are.
