One of the coolest presents that I received this Christmas was from my wife, who is clearly fed up of me turning on a light to read whilst she is trying to sleep…
It’s called the Really Tiny Book Light and it has a small LED light (powered by 3 LR41 batteries) that clips onto the outside cover of a book and can be directed onto the page, giving night-time readers enough light to read without illuminating the rest of the room.
It certainly seems to be effective – and sure beats my previous attempts at reading by torchlight. I’m reliably informed that Mrs Christmas purchased mine from the elves at John Lewis.
