Dan: How many of you were hollered at when they were younger because they were reading in the dark?  When I was little (and still today) I prefer reading in the dark instead of under a bright halogen lamp, but the act is extremely hard on your eyes.  Or so you may think…according to WebMD, reading in the dark, just like sitting too close to the television is a myth about your eyesight.  You may get a headache from it but it does not cause any imposing threat to your vision or your health.

Even still, it might be a great idea (gift idea) to have something in order to aid you.  If you read at home, in the office, or in a crowded living space like a dorm room or apartment, then you need your own persona light.  Levenger has many different makes and types of reading lights to offer.  If you know someone who reads in an uptown office they have a light to appropriately accomodate that situation.  Also, if you know someone who has many roommates, a bed reading light would be much better suited.  Check out these great reading light gifts!

Grace: As someone who loves to read, I think this is a great gift idea!  I always end up reading right before I go to bed, and I’m too lazy to turn the lights on again when I’m just going to to turn them off in another hour, so I end up reading in very dim lighting.  I think that the clip-on light is a great gift for someone who likes to read in bed because it doesn’t take up much room like a floor lamp or a desk lamp on a nightstand would, and you can travel with it, which is very convenient.  If you know someone who loves to read, instead of getting them a book they might enjoy or a gift certificate to a bookstore, why not buy them one of these reading lights?
