Glocusent 16 LED Rechargeable Book Light review

 This post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure policy here





I was recently able to try out the Glocusent 16 LED Rechargeable Book Light which was sent to me for my honest opinion. Honestly, I love it. It is rechargeable, you can change the light setting with a click, and it will last 80+ hours although I can't vouch for the 80 hours yet as I haven't read that many non-digital books to know if it lasts that long yet. 

This is great for both children and adults. You won't bother your partner while reading, it is great for camping or even for the kids who love to read when they are supposed to be sleeping. I was one of those kids for sure. I love that it helps me read without having to ask someone to help turn the light on at night as I am currently battling colon cancer and this gives me some independence on my down days so that I can do something for myself without having to depend on other so much during the night. 

What I think would make this better is a timer that blinks the light when it will turn off for those parents who don't want their kids staying up all night, as a reminder, it's time for bed you can read more tomorrow.

Lighted Leash




Walking your pet in the evening, late night, or early morning can be really dangerous if you are not wearing clothing that other can see. With the lighted leash available in several colors you can be sure that you and your pet are seen when it is dark outside.

This is a nice size leash and one you can mix and match with the lighted collar which is sold separately. You can read about my review for the lighted collar here. They make a great pair and are great all on their own. Our Saint loves her jewelry which includes her leash and collars. I love that both the collar and leash both are rechargeable so that you don't have to worry about replacing the batteries everytime they die out.

The length is nice and works well with both small and larger dogs. We are very happy and so is our Saint.

The Shine For Dogs Leash can be found on Amazon.

MotionSensor LED Night Light







These little motion sensor night lights are awesome for hallways that might not have a plug for a regular night light. These are also great because they work with motion. You don't need to worry about turning a light off in the morning or putting it on at night.

This light charges through a usb cord that hooks up to your computer or other usb device that can charge your light. No batteries to worry about. It just snaps in and out of the little plastic case that sticks on the wall with 3M strips.

So easy to setup and use, turns off after walking away after 15 seconds.



This motion sensor night light can be found on Amazon.



  • ★ BUILT-IN RECHARGEABLE LITHIUM BATTERY: No need to waste money on AAA batteries!  The built-in lithium battery provides 4 hours of continuous light.  The unit can last up to 2 months in "auto" mode (so it comes on only when motion is detected).  When the power gets low, just connect it to a USB port with the included Micro USB cable.
    ★ HIGH QUALITY MOTION SENSOR AND WIDE COVERAGE: The light comes on when you are within 3 meters of the unit, and will go out 15 seconds after you walk away.
    ★ EASY TO INSTALL: You have multiple options for mounting this light.  Included with the unit are a built-in magnet, 3M adhesive tape, screws and mounting holes.
    ★ ULTRA BRIGHT: 6 LEDs provide 100 lumens of light.  And the LED technology helps keep power consumption low, which means more lighting with less charging.
    ★ ENVIRONMENT FRIENDLY & LONG LIFESPAN: The LEDs bulbs last up to 75 years.  And thanks to the rechargeable battery, there's no need to worry about removing and replacing batteries.
     
Need to light a dark corner of your home, but there are no outlets nearby?
Tired of buying batteries for your motion light?
The BYB LED Sensor Night Light provides a bright motion light with the convenience of Micro USB charging.
Use it light up a hallway closet.  Or stick it on the bottom of your bed for late night bathroom trips.
Or light a dark stairway, even when the power goes out!

Never stumble in the dark again
Easily put light wherever you need it with the BYB E-0480 Six bright LEDs
and a high-performance motion sensor provide abundant light only whenever and wherever you need it.
Ideal for stairways, bathrooms, kids' bedrooms, nurseries, and even in a boat or recreational vehicle.
The unit offers safety and security without the need for power cords or electrical outlets.

Long Life
The light's super-bright LED bulbs last up to 55,000 hours which means years of energy-efficient cost-effective illumination.
The included built-in lithium battery provides 500+ charge cycles (with no need to purchase AAA batteries!) and can last up to 2 months on a single charge when in motion detection mode.

Package Included
1. Motion sensor light
2. USB charging cable
3. Base plate
4. 3M adhesive tape
5. 2x screws

BYBlight 9 LED Mini Aluminum Flashlight



This is a very nice lightweight 4 pack of flashlights. The only complaint I have is that the strap can not fit around your wrist but I guess you could attach it to one of those stretchy coiled bracelet things if you had too. Great for camping, scouts, emergencies, power outages.

We really like that these are color coded so each family member knows which one is theirs. They take 3 AAA batteries each which are not included. Small and compact will fit in tackle box, purse, pocket, drawer, glove compartment, etc.

    Bringing light to the situation



    We live in a old house and it always seems like it is dark, we don't have lights in our closets so we put tap lights in them so we can see to pick out our clothes. This tap light is super bright and works great. You will need 3 AAA batteries which are not included to run it and just a little swipe of your hand and it comes on or goes off.

    I was very surprised by how bright this was, much brighter than other tap lights we have had in the past. We are very happy with them. Easy to use just slide the back open, click in batteries, slide back on and stick where you need it. This light does come with two large sticky pieces that are on the back and hold it securely to the wall or ceiling.

    You can find this light on Amazon.

To switch on- simple touch your finger to the two metal pins on the front of the LED light panel. To switch off, touch the 2 pins again. The rear panel has 2 x self adhesive pads , for easy installation.
    With 4 bright white LEDs you can expect around 100 hours illumination from each set of 3 x AAA batteries (not included), before they will need to be changed. Save yourself the electrician costs of wiring a light bulb and use this battery cupboard light. With a detachable back place that has 3M stick pads, you can easily change the batteries and keep your backing on the wall or shelf.

    Rechargeable Desk Lamp




    Our family loves products that are rechargeable because that means there are less batteries going into landfills or time spent finding out where to drop off our batteries.

    Much larger than I thought it would be, works great while I am in bed and my husband is sleeping for either working on the computer or reading, clips to most of the desks in our home. Really fun for a sick child so that they can keep up with their homework if they are bedridden.

    Great extra for your college student for late night studying. I love to clip this on my desk in the living room because we have a very dark home, and it never seems to have enough light even in the daytime.

    Candles make a great gift



    One thing our family and most of our friends love are candles. Always a great gift. Scentiments Candles come in a mason jar for the homemade from the heart look. These burn for quite a while and when you are done the jar is reusable, either to make your own candles or to even use for craft items. Some people even like to drink out of mason jars so there is another use for the empty jar when done.

    I really like how you can order Happy Birthday Candles, Family, and Friend Candles in different scents to fit the person it is intended for. Cute and whimsical. A gift sure to please.


    You can find the Scentiments Candles on Amazon.

    What Tirquin has to say about their product.

    Let's face it buying the perfect gift for our best friend who has it all is never easy. With a simple message and great scent these candles not only say what we want to say but delivery a fantastic fragrance for hours and hours after the gift has been made.

    With four great fragrances to choose from you will be sure to select the right fragrance for the occasion or collect all four for different rooms in the home. Our collection is handmade here in the USA using materials sourced and manufactured here in the USA

    Little and Mighty





    This little lantern is so bright at full strength. I was surprised. Great for camping, hiking, emergency lighting, for children to play with.

    I really like that this throws off so much light. I just can't get over it. I also like that if my husband and I are not home when there is a power outage I don't have to worry about the children lighting candles they can just get this and have all of the light they need until the power comes back on.

    Small but powerful. You will need 3 AA batteries for this to work. The only way to make this better would be for it to be solar or a wind up lantern.


    You can purchase the Galactic Lighting LED Micro Lantern on Amazon.

    >
    What Galactic Lighting has to say about their product.
    The Galactic Lighting LED Micro Lantern is the brightest lantern you can buy for its size.

The portability and small weight of the LED lantern means it's ideal for putting in your backpack, in fact it's so small and light you could carry 5! Using readily available standard AA batteries means you won't have to worry about trying to power it by waiting for recharging or looking for rare battery types. The touch plastic makes this very durable and is ideal for most environments and conditions.
    Features
    * 4 ultra bright LEDs (total of 2 Watts)
    * Full 360 degree emitting light
    * Easy to carry (robust handle)
    * Portable at less than half a pound in weight
    * Store away or carry many only 6 inches high
