My son wants something he can read with at night without waking his sibling on the lower bunk with the big light. Is this bright enough to read by?

I would use it at night to nurse my daughter and sometimes I thought I was too bright and would switch colors for less light. So yes. I think your son could read with it. My daughter uses it to look at her books now. She is 16 months.

My seven year old says it's not bright enough to read a chapter book by. She says she could see well enough to read a board book or other book with big letters but not a regular book. She has very good vision, so she's probably a reliable source. Blue is brighter than the other colors so it might work, but a headlamp would be probably be a better bet for reading in a dark room.

It might be....but it's a pretty low light. You might be better off with a clip on book light.

I would say it's absolutely bright enough, but there is no way to direct the light to the page. Being an all-over glow it may cause a problem trying to read with it as I imagine if it was close to him it would shine into his eyes at the same time as on the page, but if it was farther away it may cause eye strain.

I dont think so. You can see the pages but would have to work really hard to see the words.

It is bright enough to read in bed at night, I do it all the time. There is only one brightness.

If the strap is adjusted where the plastic slide is not in the back, then yes it would be good for lying down and reading. The beam however is very bright so it may wash out many pages or create a glare. If you need a bright light for reading however, this is the hot ticket.

There is a dim and a bright setting. The bright setting is quite bright. The dim setting is likely dim enough to read and not wake someone up, but depends on how sound of a sleeper they are.

Yes, I believe it would. It has a setting for the brightness of the light. Just be careful of the amount of tension on the head strap so there is no discomfort. It is an adjustable light also, so this would be excellent to point down at your reading material. Hope this helps, and happy reading:)

Yes! You can adjust it to 10 different brightness settings, and I find 5 and up are just fine for reading.

Its very bright and works well for reading - you cannot adjust the brightness but because it's flexible you can move it around to get it just right. I've used many different ones, but like this the best. Keep extra batteries on hand.

I don't think it's bright enough to read by. It's really just a nice, low light that brightens up any dark areas you may have in the room. I originally bought it exactly for that purpose but liked it so much anyway that I decided to keep it lol! Keep looking if you really want something to read by but if you want a nice, trendy looking lamp, this is a good buy =)

I have mine in my living room, so I'm not sure. I would say will light it up, but maybe not enough to read.

I guess it looks ok as a complimentary lighting, like next to the bed. as a reading light though, I won't recommend it. I couldn't find a bulb bright enough though.

I think it would be perfect for such a use. They throw a fair amount of light at a short distance, so reading should be fine. I don't agree with the other users who said it's very low light. It would be way too bright as a night-light (IMO). It's not going to light up a room, but a kid doesn't need a lot of light for bedtime reading.

I think its bright enough for reading in bed. I use it for that purpose and it works well.

No this lamp is not good lighting to read in, it is just meant to put in a room as like a night light, some are stronger than others but not nearly enough to study in, either is the color of lamp a good color to study in.

It's pretty bright, but it's not going to illuminate a whole room like a lamp. With it on I am able to see around my sons room well enough to avoid tripping over something.

My husband and I both find it bright enough to read the paper and books. We're very pleased with this item, and particularly with the ability to move it around the house if we need additional light somewhere.

It is quite bright but we like it that way. Difficult to say if it would keep a baby awake. If the baby requires semi-darkness, I'm afraid this light would be too bright, especially in a small nursery.

Yes-it has 10 light levels and number 10 is quite bright, it lights up my entire room. I'm sure one if the levels will suit your reading needs :)
