This is a fantastic design. I was using a standard book light to read by, but wanted something else so I can knit while watching TV and not bother others with the light, and not have to clip it on to anything. Well, this is perfect. It has 3 brightness settings, is extremely comfortable and directionally adjustable. I ended up using it to read by as well, and got rid of my book light. Haven't recharged it as of yet, but it seems light a high quality idem.

The Glocusent LED Neck Reading Light is the best reading lamp of its type. The availability and choices of light illumination are superb. It is not a heavy and gangly lamp, as some on Amazon are. The arms are of the appropriate length, they are very easy to manipulate, and the unit is well made and lightweight. The battery size and the length of use from each charge are the best of all the units that I see advertised. I first started with the Ledgle reading lamps, but when I moved to the Glocusent version I immediately realized how much better this reading lamp was/is for me. I recommend the unit wholeheartedly. A worthwhile investment.

This is the 3rd neck reading light (other two are different) I've had. The Glocusent is BY FAR the nicest. First, when you put it around your neck, it's practically weightless. The other two had two double A batteries that sat on the back of my neck. Also, the way the arms lay, they automatically light up what I'm working on (I knit). At first I thought the arms were short & wouldn't be bright enough to reach where I hold my knitting. But that's not the case. The lighting is excellent. I like that the arms are short as one of my other lights has long arms & it's a pain to bend them up to light my knitting where I hold my work. And the others somehow shift as I'm knitting. These don't. I like that they are rechargeable. The adapter is a 'C', just like my Android phone which is handy. It comes with a cord. I use my own plug in adapter. I am so pleasantly surprised by these, I'm going to buy a back up & two more for my knitting friends as gifts. I can't get over the quality of the illumination. I can't comment on the battery life yet as this is the first time I'm using these. I wanted to get a review out right away. You will be happy with these. They look & feel well made. There is a small user manual. It explains the 3 lighting options. It says battery working time is 6-80 hours depending on mode & brightness. My husband likes to watch TV in our theater with no lights on. These are a lifesaver in that I can get knitting done in the dark. This light seems to concentrate the light so as not to be a bother to others nearby. Will test that when I get home & in the theater. Overall. I love this neck light. It's the nicest I've seen.

I just bought this neck light and I absolutely love it. Do not look any further if you need one. It is comfortable, adjustable, adjustable brightness with or without filtration. I orinaly ordered it for my crochet/knitting hobby but it can be used for so many different applications.
This product is not heavy on your neck and the angle of the lights is adjustable. I didn't find any downsides to this light so far. Highly recommend it.

This things may look weird, and I may look like a complete dork when I have it on, but it's a huge game changer for reading.
