February 2004
"One less thing to feel guilty about! If you love to read in bed but the light bothers your snoozing bedmate: The LightWedge has a clear surface that delivers bright, concentrated illumination on just the page itself. It's thin enough to use as a bookmark too."

 


July 2003
"Red light LightWedge with red LEDs, is a boon to the inveterate bookworm, who, while the boat steers itself to the next waypoint ... can read in the cockpit on night watch without degrading her night vision."

September 2002
"LightWedge is not only more effective, but also more stylish than those bulky plastic flashlights on a clip that pass as reading lights. And speed readers need not worry: This glow-in-the-dark took moves smoothly on and off the page, so it won't break your swift rhythm."

June 2003
"One of the cleverest solutions to the problem of reading in bed (or on watch) we've seen... the batteries that power it seemed to last forever, and there was nothing to move, attach or break, so we were pretty pleased with it... It works properly, is simple to operate, and we liked the "gee-whiz" factor."

 


August 2003
"The perfect way to illuminate the page of a book without excessive light spill that might annoy others around you. Now there's a red-light version developed specifically for pilots and astronomers... with a push-button switch that's easy to operate with gloved hands."
