Can you use this to read a book in the tent? Thank you.

Absolutely, it's very good lighting, brightness wise - but as single lights (the 4) that's more for fun, cluster on the thing as a whole is good stuff - have 3 of them and love 'em

Yes, if you leave the individual lights hooked into the main part and can therefore use all 5 lights. I bought 2 and love thm!

You might if it was fairly close to the book. I would suggest getting the bigger one... much better light!

Yes, it could be used in a tent as long as you put something under it to keep the floor from getting too hot, and provided a bit of ventilation. It does not work the way they tell you it will but if you hook it to a pressure regular connected to a five gallon butane tank it works. I would definitely buy another for my deer stand, that is the only way I use it.

I would not recommend it in a tent it is not rated for tent use that I noticed.

I think it will allow for reading, but it will largely depend on the wattage and type of bulb that you use. The bulb type will greatly affect the amount of light that you will get as well as the height of the table that it's on. We haven't used it for reading a physical book but regularly use electronic devices next to it (e.g., iPad, Kindle, etc).

yes, you could. However, it rolls up so small you really don't need to. this gets really small when rolled up tight. In my pack it takes up very little room and the poles slide in right along the sides of my pack. This is a really great tent with a long history. They got it right a long time ago with this design. Two people are a little tight in it but for one it is perfect. Get it and seal it and you will not be sorry. It is VERY lightwieght and just plain works!

Yes you can. You will need the Kindle app, available for free on the Play Store. This tablet is great for reading on. You can get the app here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.amazon.kindle&hl;=en

I like reading in bright light, but this would probably be too bright. I haven't tried it though.I doubt the angle would work very well either.

If you have the lamp right next to the book, I guess you could for awhile. The shade on the lamp diffuses the light, so it's much more suited to area lighting. If you want to read, I'd suggest the "Energizer Weatheready 360 Degree LED Area Lantern" ( Energizer Weatheready 360 Degree LED Area Lantern ). I used the Energizer for several days after Sandy and was able to read newspapers. You still have to have it near the reading material but it works better for reading because the light is not as diffused. In a dark house, this lamp would be safer for using a stairway, for example, than the Energizer, as it covers a bit more area. Different lamps for different needs.

you could but it is really too large for that purpose. It is meant for ereaders etc.

I wouldn't. Not if you are going to be sitting a normal distance away from it. The text will not be sharp enough. If you aren't going to do any reading on it then "maybe..." Like if it were dedicated to look at some graphics from a distance like in a conference room.

Yes, it would work, but I wouldn't use it as my reading light most of the time, just for special occasions, like camping or something.

Yes, you can use it as an ereader. the screen is comparable to the kindle fire, not the nook. more like a computer screen which isn't as good in a bright place.
1485811
No. I have only used used for short (less than 10 minute) projects. I can't say one way or the other whether it is viable for using for a lengthy period of time such as reading a book.
535419
I wouldn't use it for reading unless there really wasn't any other lighting available, camping perhaps. But only in a limited capacity.

No, not at all. You'll have enough room to read 3 open books. It lights a nice size area. Hope this helps.

I use it to read Kindle, iBooks & Zinio mags while on an exercise bike. I have an iPad Air and it works great. I have not tried it from bed, but it should work just fine...
