(4 stars) - If you think it's dim, check the battery installation...
I've used a paperback-size Light Wedge for years and love it. However, when I first used the Lumos, I found the light to be very dim. Before throwing the thing away, I checked the manufacturer's web site. It said that if one of the batteries is facing the wrong direction, the light will work, but it will be very dim. I thought I had been very careful in loading the batteries, but what do you know, one of them was facing the wrong way. Once that was fixed, the thing lit up much brighter. I almost wish it had two settings like the smaller model so I could dim it. The only negative is the inevitable scratches (which I don't even notice once I'm reading). I don't mind lifting the light up to turn pages. Once you get used to it, it's no problem at all. The even coverage of light on the page is so much better than the clip-on light I had been using for hardcover reading. And the price is a steal.

(5 stars) - It's magic
It seems like a toy, but it's not. This is the most amazing book light I've ever used. (and I've tried lots of them) It fits snugly into the book, paperback or hardcover, and lights up every word. The page gets illuminated, not the whole room. My sleeping husband loves it. And I take it with me when I travel, so that on a plane I get a better overall light. I'm getting them for holiday presents too. Could save many a marriage. That they used these at Hogwarts is a bonus.

(5 stars) - The Lightwedge is the most phenomenal booklight out there!
This light is such an amazing piece of technology! Anyone who loves late night reading, especially if you have a roommate, will love this book light. I have tried the extending ones that latch onto later pages, and float above the pages; it just wasn't convenient. I found I had to move the light on the same page to see other parts better, and it was a pain to move it when you got to the page the light was on. The book light just rests over the page, and you hold it as part of the book. It's so easy! And it makes reading much more pleasurable. You don't have to get the Harry Potter one, but the light wedge is amazing.

(2 stars) - Doesn't Light the Page
This thing looked really great on Amazon, but when I actually tried it, I found that it doesn't light the page well at all, and what it does light is uneven at best. I found myself holding it on edge like a flashlight just to get the page bright enough to read. Too bad, because a very cool idea. I'm going to return mine now for a regular clip on light I guess.

(1 stars) - Tossed it
I can't think of an item that was more of a waste of money. The light was way too weak, and additionally, the light sources are around the frame (obviously) and the strongest light is right there around the frame and it only lights a very narrow area (as the light is too weak) -- and it gets increasingly weaker towards the center. I got our good old magnifier instead and tossed this thing into the trash. It doesn't even deserve one star ... Very disappointing.
