Reading in bed late at night can disturb your partner. There are some newer, less obtrusive, light options for the late-night reader! Gone is the old-style clip-on light that fastens to your book. Now you can use a hands-free LED light that’s worn around your neck. Made by Vekkia, the neck reading light has an on/off switch for both lamps and has three brightness levels. Its neck design is very comfortable. Also, the long-lasting battery charge feature doesn’t use batteries!
