【Personal Time】Creating reading time after the family has gone to bed with 3COINS' "Compact LED Book Light"

After the family has gone to sleep, I want to read a little without turning on the lights. Using the 3COINS "Compact LED Book Light," I can peacefully enjoy reading time in the bedroom, marking a pleasant end to the day.

After the family has gone to bed, when I want to open a book without turning on the lights

late at night after work, I don’t have the energy to sit at my desk, but finishing the day without doing anything feels a bit unsatisfying. And I want to read a little while lying in bed.

After the family has settled down for the night, I can't turn on the room lights. At such times, I found a reading light that allows me to read naturally without disrupting the flow of life.

I became able to read a book even while lying on my side

one of the reasons I couldn’t continue reading in the bedroom was due to posture. When I’m looking down, I either get tired from the uncomfortable position or tend to succumb to drowsiness and fatigue.

The "Compact LED Book Light" from 3COINS can be clipped onto a book, so it illuminated the book even while I was lying on my side with my shoulder down.

There’s no need to hold the light by hand or adjust the angle; whether lying on my back or on my side, I can continue reading while changing my position. Since the angle can be finely adjusted, it’s hard for shadows to fall on the pages, and there were almost no moments where I had to stop reading to correct my posture.

Also, despite being rechargeable, it's surprisingly light, and I didn’t notice the weight of the book and the light while using it. It's great for reading while lying down.

Since I can read books casually, I’ve started to open a book without feeling like I have to "read properly" once I'm in bed. It has become a natural habit to read before sleep in the bedroom.

By not "feeling the weight," reading a few pages has become easy to manage

and I found the lightness to be particularly user-friendly. While reading in a lying position, the burden on my hands can be concerning, but if the light is heavy, I unconsciously tense my hands and arms, causing me to lose focus within a few minutes.

This book light doesn’t feel burdensome even when it's clamped onto the book, and I hardly noticed its presence while reading. I don't need to consciously maintain a posture to support the light, which makes it less tiring to read in bed.

I’ve started focusing less on "how many minutes to read" and more on "how far should I read," which naturally results in turning the pages more easily and encourages me to continue reading.

My eyes don’t get tired easily, and I can see when I can finish reading

On the other hand, before using this light, I was concerned about "too bright light." I worried about "becoming too alert," which I wanted to avoid when reading before bed, as it can lead to feeling tired instead.

This light has a limited range of illumination, and I can choose the color and brightness of the light according to my current feeling, so I no longer have that concern.

By switching to a light that isn't too bright, it gently illuminates only the text on the page without making the entire room too bright. It gives the impression that my gaze isn't scattered and that my eyes are less strained.

In practice, I felt that a duration of about 5 to 15 minutes was just right. If I read longer than that, drowsiness starts to win, and if it's too short, I can't switch my mindset. I decide to read "just for 10 minutes," adjust the light, and open the book. Doing so allows me to finish reading without any strain and pleasantly close the book. This feeling of being able to read through is what makes me want to open a book again the next day.

When "reading just a little" becomes realistic, it might change how I spend my evenings.

Thanks to this book light, I've been able to take the time to mark the end of the day, rather than reading for long hours. I read a few pages in bed without disrupting my family's rhythm of life or worrying about lighting.

Just that has made the transition from work to personal life smoother and created a buffer before I fall asleep.
The act of opening a book at night feels like it's returned to my daily routine in a natural way.
