LightSpecs Nighttime Reading Glasses

The bedside lamp is off, but your book has absolutely no respect for bedtime. LightSpecs Nighttime Readers put LED lights in the sides of the frames, aiming light at the pages while leaving both hands free. Turn a page, adjust the book, reach for your tea: no flashlight juggling required. The light follows where you look, which is a nicely literal solution to wanting to read just one more chapter.

We like these for the reader who shares a bedroom and wants an alternative to switching on the main light. This black pair has +2.0 lenses, so that strength needs to suit your reading needs. The frames are also a bit bigger and clunkier than regular reading glasses. That’s a reasonable trade if you regularly read in dim light, but less appealing if you want your everyday glasses to do everything. Small craft projects get a useful hands-free spotlight, too.
