When you read your favourite book, you want to ensure you can see what you are reading and not disrupt your sleep. Reading before bed is a great way to unwind so choosing the best Australian book light is paramount to your reading experience and circadian rhythm.
When it comes to choosing the best book light we have helped you by providing you with 5 of the top considerations.
Book Light Colour
The best book light emits pure red light. Many clip-on reading lights in Australia emit blue light. Blue light has been shown in studies to disrupt your sleep, cause digital eyestrain and lead to headaches.
It’s not just e-readers, smart phones and tablets that emit blue light, reading book lights can emit dangerous blue light as well. When you settle down to your favourite novel in favour of screen time you may think you are being sensible and managing light appropriately.
However, if you are switching a Kindle for a book light that emits blue light you are not eliminating sleep disrupting artificial blue light. A red light book light that emits purely red light is the answer to finding the best book light in Australia or elsewhere in the world.
Red light does not disrupt melatonin. This is paramount when selecting the most optimal book light that does not disrupt your sleep quality and quantity.
When choosing the best book light for reading ensure it emits only red light.
Green light has been shown to decrease melatonin production. An amber book light may not be the best option when choosing the best clip light for reading. Amber lights emit green light which may cause sleep disruption when reading.
The below image shows the spectrum test report for the science backed clip light from BON CHARGE. Note that this red-light clip light only emits red light which is optimal for night time reading.
Adjustability
An adjustable and flexible neck is paramount to a excellent book light. This enables you to position the book light to read the pages better. This enables you to light your book hands free rather than holding a torch to the paper.
A reading light without an adjustable neck may not be adequate to see the pages by. This will make it extremely awkward to read with.
Size
Bookmark book lights come in various different sizes.
A clip on reading light can be an excellent variant as they clip on to your book or tablet and allow focussed illumination onto the pages of your book. This can be an excellent option if you sleep with a partner in your bed.
By focussing the illumination from the book light directly onto the pages you can ensure this does not disturb your partner should they wish to sleep whilst you continue reading in bed.
A reading lamp can be a fantastic alternative option. Reading lamps can be placed adjacent to you, on your desk or bedside table, whilst you read. The benefit of a reading lamp over a book light is the intensity of light emitted and increase illumination.
A reading lamp will emit stronger illumination than a clip light which may give you superior light to read by.
It’s essential to choose a reading lamp that only emits red light. Blue light can disrupt your sleep and lead to eye strain.
A yellow light emitting reading lamp can be great to use during the daytime, as this type of reading light emits some blue light to keep you focussed.
Reviews and Price Point
