Why 100,000+ customers love the Nachteule Book Light

"Lightweight and just bright enough for what I’ll be using it for. I’m an orthodontic assistant and didn’t want to spend $400+ dollars on a loupes light. I have tried other cheaper loupes lights that are in the $40 range but they are either too bulky/heavy or just plain useless/cheap. 10/10 recommend this light to hygienists and dental assistants!"

"I ordered this little lamp because I use three different e-readers, but I also like to enjoy one of my print books in bed. And the lighting is really rubbish. Tested this morning right after the night shift. And I was really amazed at the high luminosity of this little lamp. Let's see how long the battery lasts. So far I'm very impressed."

"Exactly what I am looking for. I use it for work as a nurse in an ICU to prevent my patients from waking up from lights. These are narrow enough to see what I am looking at in a dark room. Battery seems to hold up more than 3 shifts (12hrs). Will buy more as they go along."

In the box

This is the very best reading light I've ever bought! It works perfectly and I'm so happy that I found it! It's really the greatest! I've bought so many other reading lights and this one is the only one that worked.

Donna

This is my fourth book light for reading in bed. Two clip on's and one tablet light. None worked well. They were either too heavy or clumsy to work with. The Nachteule works. Easily attaches to my glasses, both thick rimmed and wire. Light is soft but plenty bright. Covers the pages easily. Easy to adjust direction of light. Great value. Great product.
