Q: The light from my LightWedge Original or Paperback is not bright enough. Is there something I can do?
Check the battery orientation. All four batteries should be running the same direction in the LightWedge Original or Paperback, according to
the diagram in the instruction booklet and the diagrams on the inside of the
unit (as well as below). Unlike many products, the LightWedge Original or Paperback will light if one of the four
batteries is set in the wrong direction, but the light will be very dim. Four
new AAA batteries oriented correctly will provide plenty of brightness for
nighttime reading in a dark room.
Q: What is the best way to protect my LightWedge Original or Paperback from scratches?
The optimal way to store your LightWedge Original or Paperback is in the LightWedge Soft Case. The Soft Case is made from padded rubber and lined with a micro fiber polishing cloth.
Q: My LightWedge Original or Paperback has a scratch on the lens. Is there anything I can do to fix it?
The LightWedge Original or Paperback is made of the same optical grade acrylic as a pair of glasses. Light scratches are inevitable and should not affect the product's usability.
Q: What is the best way to clean/care for my LightWedge Original or Paperback?
Take care of your LightWedge Original or Paperback as you would any other quality optical equipment, such as eyeglasses. We recommend that you remove any large particles first and then lightly buff the lens with a soft, micro-fiber cloth and lens cleaner, when it appears dirty. Storing your LightWedge Original or Paperback in a LightWedge Soft Case with a micro fiber lining, is also a great way to protect the lens from scratches and dust.
Q: What type of batteries does the LightWedge Original or Paperback take?
The LightWedge Original and Paperback each use four AAA batteries that will provide up to forty hours of light.
Q: How do I charge my LightWedge 2.0?
Fully charge the book light before first use. To charge, insert the small end of USB charging cord (included) into the micro USB port or wall charger on end of handle. Insert large end into any USB port or wall charger with USB port (not included). Check charging indicator light on handle for charging status. Light is amber when charge is required, red while charging, and green when fully charged. Remove charging cord when light is green.
Q: What is so special about an LED?
LEDs do not get hot. LEDs will not burn out – they will last more than 10,000 hours! LEDs are extremely energy efficient for super-long battery life.
Q: What size book does the LightWedge Original or Paperback work with?
LightWedge Original is designed to be used with all common hardcover and "trade" paperbacks. However, it will also work for "mass market" paperbacks (the small, rack-size format), maps, and other reading materials. The LightWedge Paperback is designed specifically for these smaller mass-market paperbacks. It is perfect for travelers as it conveniently packs into small spaces.
Q: How can I replace the battery cover panel on my LightWedge Original or Paperback?
If the battery cover panel is broken contact us for a replacement part. Please let us know the size and color of your Lightwedge, so we will know which battery cover to send you.
Q: There is a concentric circle pattern in the light around the two LEDs in my LightWedge Original or Paperback. Is this normal?
You will find a concentric circle pattern to a very small degree in every LightWedge. The pattern should not be distinct enough to be visually distracting.
Q: How do I charge my ReLight?
To charge your ReLight, insert the bottom of the light into the charging station and plug the AC adapter into the wall outlet. Be sure to fully charge the ReLight before the first use. The ReLight will be fully charged in three hours. The charger will stop charging when the batteries are fully charged. The two 3.6V LIR 2450 batteries will last at least 500 charging cycles. Please note, repeatedly recharging a partially full battery will reduce its overall lifespan.
Q: Why is my ReLight not charging?
Please make sure that you have removed the two plastic tabs sticking out of the book clip on the Relight. If you have not removed these, please do so now. Unfold the ReLight so the book clip is facing upwards towards you. Pull on the plastic tabs until they come out. This will allow the batteries to make the necessary connection to turn the light on and charge. If you have already removed the plastic tabs, then it could be that your ReLight doesn’t have a full charge. Please charge your ReLight for a full 3-4 hours. If that does not work, contact Customer Service.
Q: Where do I purchase the rechargeable batteries for the ReLight?
You can purchase the 3.6 V LIR 2450 batteries at Radioshack or on other online sites. Please note, using incorrect batteries, or non-rechargeable batteries, may cause damage to the product.
