This Glocusent model is a high-performance reading light that prioritizes battery capacity and optical quality. It features a 1600mAh battery, which is roughly two to three times the capacity of many entry-level models, providing up to 80 hours of use on the lowest setting. The light quality is exceptional, with a color rendering index of 95+, which helps reduce eye strain by providing a clear and accurate light spectrum.
The chassis is made of matte ABS plastic, which helps monitor the risk of visible scratches. The neck is constructed with a steel-core gooseneck inside a medical-grade silicone sleeve, providing high positional memory with minimal sagging. The light head is designed with a dual-head horizontal spread to provide a wide field of illumination that covers two pages of a book or a large section of a desk.
The clip provides a very firm grip, but for delicate items like thin paperbacks, placing a piece of cardstock between the clip and the book can help prevent any marks.
The light uses a USB-C port, which is a modern and durable charging standard. While the unit is designed for portability, the larger battery and dual-head design mean it is slightly heavier than basic models. On very small or thin paperbacks, this weight might cause the book to tilt forward if not positioned carefully. The clip is best suited for surfaces where its high tension can be fully supported.
If you prefer a lighter, more basic light for a child's bedroom, you may want to look at the Hemonnkam rechargeable light.
