Nantucket, MA – April 24, 2007 – LightWedge, LLC believes book lights do not need to be ordinary. To the contrary, the U.S.–based maker of innovative LightWedge® and Great Point Light™ book lights has been revolutionizing the way people read with book lights, using the latest in LED technology since 2002.

"As with any consumer group, avid readers crave well–designed and stylish products that exceed expectations," said LightWedge CEO Jamey Bennett. "With the LightWedge and Great Point Light product lines, we have taken book lights from ordinary to stylish and functional lifestyle accessories."

Perfect for reading at home, in bed and on the go, LightWedge and Great Point Light book lights make ideal gifts for Mother's Day, Father's Day, and recent high–school or college graduates. They are also perfect travel accessories – whether for the savvy business traveler or the summer family vacation – providing long–lasting light for reading on the go.

Below are four of LightWedge's most popular book lights.

• LightWedge® Original – Whether reading in bed, in the library, on a plane, or in a car, the LightWedge Original book light is the ideal gift or accessory for people who love to read. The patented LightWedge technology directs all the light onto the page being read through the optical–grade acrylic lens – making the LightWedge the perfect book light for lighting the page, not the room. High–intensity LEDs stay cool and never burn out. The LightWedge provides 40 hours of bright, even light from four AAA batteries. MSRP is $34.95.
• LightWedge® Mini – The stylish LightWedge Mini provides purse– or pocket–sized illumination for use in dimly–lit places. Perfect for discreetly lighting maps in the car, menus in restaurants and programs in theatres, LightWedge Mini uses the same lens technology as the LightWedge Original in a convenient size, and adds a built–in 1.5x magnification bar. The LightWedge Mini comes with its own sleek carrying case, making it the perfect gift and travel accessory. Available in multiple colors, the Mini runs for 20 hours on two replaceable batteries (included). MSRP is $14.95.
• Great Point Light Spike Light – The innovative Spike Light conveniently provides a way to read an entire book without having to move the light! The "spike" is inserted over the book's spine to secure the light in place, while the flexible neck holds the head containing two bright LEDs over the page. Lightweight and sturdy, the Spike Light is available in multiple colors. One AAA battery provides up–to 20 hours of light. MSRP is $12.99.
• Great Point Light Flex Neck™ — The Flex Neck's flexible metal neck points the light wherever it's needed – and is sturdy enough to keep it there. The strong clip has soft grippers to grab and hold nearly any surface, and the head fits into the clip for secure storage or travel. The Flex Neck is available in multiple colors, including a new Flex Neck with high–tech soft&ndtouch black finish, making it a perfect complement to today's popular digital gadgets, including e–readers, laptop computers and PDAs. Two LEDs provide 20 hours of light on two replaceable batteries (included). MSRP is $9.99.
