Would this be a good reading light? Sit in the mornings at the table before anyone else in the house wakes up and need a little light. Thanks.

Yes it is great for reading this light has been given to children in third world countries just so they can read and do home work at night

It might be a good reading light if it is fully charged up. The light works pretty well, but if it isn't fully charged it starts dimming pretty quickly.

yes. at night time, i've been using 2 d.light s2 on both side of my computer for 4 or 5 hours. each night i use it to work and i alternate 2 d.light for each night. do like me, you have to have more than 2 d.light

I think it would make a pretty good light, bu you might need to prop it up on something to get the right angle. I have tried it and found that it is a really good light and I will be buying another!

Yes, I use it as a reading light in bed before I go to sleep. You do have to keep the light close (about 30 centimeters) to the page.

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.

It doesn't give you bright reading light but definitely will light up an area. It is the only lamp I use in my living room and provides plenty of light.

Understand that the bottom of the tiffany lamp shade is only 10 inches to the table surface. So you don't get much direct lighting unless the lamp is setup higher. That said I use it at night from bed and the indirect glow from the lamp is enough for me to read without any problems.

it really depends on what you need done. If it is the only source of light it will not be bright enough in that size room for reading. In the evening.

Sorry, I don't have an answer. I placed the light I ordered at our local library and if there's been a problem, I haven't heard. I'll save this email, check with the library and get back. S. Vernon

Yes, it would be quite nice as a reading lamp. Puts off enough light with the bulbs provided.

It will, of course, depend upon your personal needs/preferences. As the light has three settings, I'm sure one will be sufficient for your reading needs.

I read a few pages in a book with the lights out laying in bed an used the lowest light setting on headlamp. It seems to work just fine for that. I did have to put it on the lowest tilt setting, but if you were setting up reading you might not have to have it at that setting.

I would not look directly at the light, I have it on in the morning while reading or havingy breakfast and that seems to work great. My eyes are sensitive but so far no problems with them as I have the light to my side and not directly in front of me. Hope that helps!

I have read books on an ebook reader that had it's own backlight using only this light. For a regular paper book, I use a 6-watt LED lightbulb in a reading lamp. I guess the answer is no. It's not bright enough for normal reading.

I would have used it for that. It's not a super bright light, just enough to see by. When I use it on the porch, it throws enough light to read by up close to it. I love mine.

I wouldn't recommend it for task lighting, but it could be good enough for reading. Use this lamp, it works brighter than the others I've tried: Triangle Bulbs T95035-6 5W E12 LED Candelabra Equivalent to 40W Incandescent Bulb, Chandelier Led Light Bulbs (6 Pack)

It puts out a decent amount of light, but is definitely not a good light source for reading or any kind of project. I do however love the lamp and would recommend picking it up for a good price.

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).

It's as bright as any "real" candle. Personally I don't think it's suitable as a bedside lamp. Hard to say how many YOU might prefer for reading. Remember the base is about 3 1/2" in diameter so you'de need a fairly large nightstand. Also I think the flickering would get annoying. Abe may have done it, but I wouldn't recommend it at all. It may not bother you now, but you'll pay dearly for it in poor eyesight later in life.

Hi JoeIt is not a task light for sure if you want it for reading work on your desk. It would be great for a nice soothing light. That is what I needed. Also, it is great for people like me and a very good friend who had depression issues -- a lot due to lack of light where we live. I do think it can uplift the spirits naturally.Hope that helps
