Choosing a neck light that's perfect for you

What's the best neck light for reading?

Choosing a neck reading light involves considering factors such as brightness, colour temperature, comfort, flexibility, power source, battery life and additional features. Here are some tips to help you make an informed decision when choosing the best neck light for reading:

BRIGHTNESS AND INTENSITY
- Look for a light with adjustable brightness levels to suit your reading preferences and the time of the day.
- A neck reading light with more lumens will give a brighter illumination, and will be more practical for uses beyond reading.
- Check that the beam is focused, otherwise the LED light will illuminate areas beyond the book and perhaps not offer enough light while reading. Without a more focused beam of light, others may find the light distracting.

COLOUR TEMPERATURE
- Consider a neck light with a colour temperature options so that you can find which colour is most comfortable for your reading. A warmer colour temperature (around 2700K-3000K) is often preferred for evening reading.

FLEXIBILITY AND COMFORT
- A neck light that bends and flexes, yet stays in place once adjusted can be most comfortable and give the ideal angle and position for optimal lighting. Weigh up the size of the neck light and the size required for functionality.

POWER SOURCE AND BATTERY LIFE
- Generally neck lights for reading are rechargeable and will come with the power cord to plug into a USB adapter.
- What is important is to consider is how long you will get on one charge and how long it will last before the neck light needs to be recharged.
- Features such as 'optional timer' after a certain time can be handy if you're likely to drift off to sleep.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS
- Consider reading customer reviews to learn about the experiences of others who have purchased the same light. This can provide insights into the durability and performance of the product. Issues such as being hot to the touch, problems charging and flickering are common issues.

BUDGET AND AESTHETICS
- Like most products, neck lights for reading can be cheap or expensive and come in a range of looks. These considerations come down to personal preference, usage, and the right balance of price vs quality to find the best neck light for reading, for you.

By considering these factors, you can find a neck reading light that best fits your needs and enhances your reading experience.

Excellent neck light

A brilliant neck light. The only feature that I feel is missing is the ability to lock the buttons so that it isn’t switched on accidentally when it’s in my project bag.
