Seems like a decent deal, I find a lot of them not bright enough so this ‘tri’ design should be good.

Different colours have different codes but the end price is similar (can just click the coupon button to redeem the right one)

P8FS2BWO - grey and white $13.59

M6XWFYO4 - black and purple $13.99

But the ozb way is to ignore colour ways focus on price so grey and white are a better deal 😎

      Yes. I just bought one last week. This is a very good little light. Highly recommend it. You can also check out other variations of book lights that you can get from their official site or the Amazon store.

    I might get one to read my iPad in bed…

    I have one of these. Puts out a good amount of light and handy that you can change colour temp and intensity. The grip works well too, no slippage.

      It’s used to make Lego

    • Per your link (which seems largely irrelevent):

      Conclusions:
      The low levels of process-related fume detected show that the control strategies, which employed mainly forced mechanical general ventilation and good process temperature control, were adequate to control the risks associated with exposure to process-related fume. This substantiates the advice given in the Health and Safety Executive’s information sheet No 13, ‘Controlling Fume During Plastics Processing’, and its broad applicability in plastics processing in general.

          I guess you were aiming for people to make slightly informed choices. Just not with enough of the relevant information to make a well informed choice. But hey, I guess it's the right direction.

            No, that is up to them…

            I just posted some facts about the product.

          Try to go through life without using ABS. Dare you.

          It's not an informed choice. Honestly, if you want to avoid ABS, you're going to have to go live under a shelter made of grass in a forest.

          Do you ever sit in a car? That's basically an ABS cocoon.

          I'm not saying the amount of plastic we use is great, I'm just saying that trying to avoid ABS moving through life is, at this point, insanity.

                I've already said why…

                That's completely useless information.

                Not for some people…

        • +2

          OK, I'll continue to make the effort not to breathe the fumes created during ABS processing. I will, however, continue to be perfectly safe using it as normal, or even chewing on it (pretty much what kids do with Lego)

        AI Overview

        "Playing devil's advocate" means to argue against a popular opinion or idea, not necessarily because you believe it, but to encourage a more thorough and critical discussion and to explore all sides of an issue.

        Here's a more detailed explanation:

        Purpose:
        The primary goal of playing devil's advocate is to foster critical thinking and comprehensive evaluation of arguments or ideas.

        Method:
        It involves intentionally presenting an opposing viewpoint, even if the person doesn't personally agree with it, to challenge assumptions and uncover potential flaws or biases.

        Origin:
        The term originates from the Catholic Church, where the "devil's advocate" (promotor fidei) was appointed to argue against a candidate's sainthood to ensure a thorough examination of their life and miracles.

        Benefits:
        Encourages a more thorough exploration of an issue.
        Helps identify potential weaknesses or flaws in an argument.
        Promotes a more balanced and objective perspective.
        Can spark new ideas and alternative solutions.

        Examples:
        "The United States should require that its citizens buy health insurance." Devil's Advocate: "If the government can mandate you to have health insurance, can it also force you to buy broccoli?"
        In a business meeting, someone might say, "Yes, but what if this plan doesn't work?" or "Yes, but what are the potential risks?"
        Effective Devil's Advocate:
        Focuses on presenting arguments, not personal attacks.
        Is open to considering alternative perspectives.
        Aims to improve the quality of the discussion and decision-making.

          I just posted some facts, no need to exaggerate.

          • +1

            @jv: The person who posts that butadiene, acrylonitrile, and styrene are carcinogenic and uses this to infer that ABS is carcinogenic tells somebody not to exaggerate……. Satire is dead. 🙄

            • @EspressoDan:

              butadiene, acrylonitrile, and styrene are carcinogenic

              That is a fact

              infer that ABS is carcinogenic

              No i didn't. Is that how you read it?

              Also, do some proper research. ChatGPT is often very wrong…

              • @jv: Don't chew on sodium, it'll kill you. Don't drink chlorine, it'll kill you. Sodium chloride sprinkled on my fish and chips? Bring it on!

                You can't take the individual component of a chemical compound and expect them to behave identically across all compounds or individually.

                • @banana365:

                  Don't chew on sodium, it'll kill you. Don't drink chlorine, it'll kill you.

                  Exactly…. But salt also kills you… just more slowly.

                  • @jv: It's all down to levels of exposure and the levels of exposure for the chemicals you highlighted, for anyone but those working with plastics manufacturing, are zero.

              • @jv: Don't need to do "research". My comments are based on an old-fashioned concept called 'knowledge', from 'education'. It used to be quite useful before everybody decided they could string together some vaguely related concepts, google up an irrelevant paper, and call it an 'opinion backed by research' then feed it to other lunatics.

                ChatGPT can be wrong, but that was just to save time, and for the LOLs, and it's not wrong about this.

          Here's an AI overview for you chyawalla:

          Is worrying about ABS being carcinogenic relevant or worth anybodies time?

          ChatGPT said:

          No, worrying about ABS plastic being carcinogenic is not relevant for everyday use and is not worth anyone’s time from a practical risk perspective. Here’s why:

          1. The Carcinogens in ABS Are Locked in a Stable Polymer

          The concern about butadiene, acrylonitrile, and styrene applies to the raw monomers, not the final plastic. Once polymerized, these chemicals are chemically bonded in a stable structure, meaning they do not leach out under normal conditions.

          2. Real-World Exposure Is Negligible

          Everyday exposure to ABS products (like LEGO bricks, appliance casings, or car interiors) does not release hazardous levels of monomers.

          Even when heated (within normal use), ABS does not break down significantly into its monomers. Only extreme conditions (e.g., burning at very high temperatures) could release toxic breakdown products.

          3. No Evidence of Harm from Normal Use

          ABS has been widely used for decades in consumer products, including food contact applications (like some kitchen appliances).

          Regulatory agencies do not classify ABS as a human health risk under normal use conditions.

          4. Bigger Carcinogenic Risks Exist Elsewhere

          If someone is concerned about carcinogens, they should worry more about air pollution, processed meats, smoking, or excessive UV exposure—all of which have far stronger evidence of cancer risk than everyday contact with ABS plastic.

          Bottom Line

          ABS is not a carcinogenic risk in normal use. Worrying about it is a waste of time, especially compared to real-world cancer risks that matter.

    Wow, not only did i have one of them gameboy lights but also The Itty Bitty Book light. Good memories, got a white one. Thanks OP

  • How many lumens is this? Looking for a study lamp and I think the minimum is 150 lumens or something?

    • 55 Lumen

    • This is for reading a book in bed without disturbing your partner, so at 55 lumens the light isn't very bright. It's a night light, basically.

  • +1

    I got one of these a while ago and it's actually great - easy for reading in bed, but also useful for navigating the house at night. Maybe I'll get another one.

  • Can I ask how wide this light is? The web says dimensions 310D x 43W x 33H millimetres. So 4cm wide? Thanks

  • I use this one it's really good

  • Promo codes cannot be applied to your order?

  • +1

    Apart from the price, what are the thoughts on this light vs a neck reading light?

    • +1

      My neck reading light’s about as comfy as a cane toad in a swag—bloody thing’s a pain in the neck, literally.

  • Nice, ordered one.

  • Got one thank you OP!

    Thank you OP! Thanks for supporting amazon! Because they supported small and local business! 👍 You'd tap n pay if you could too.

      Tell me a place where you could find an Australian made book lamp, I’d Be shocked if you could find one

  • +1

    I've got one of these clipped to the bedhead and it's getting use every night once the main lamp is too bright for winding down. It's worth the purchase.
    Only criticism would be you can only cycle up the five brightness settings (would be good if you could press up or down)

    • +1

      The up or down option would be amazing!!!

      But otherwise, they are pretty awesome.

      I mostly posted this comment in case they have a bot or something scraping all such comments about their products, in hope that the next version will have up and down instead of cycle. Fingers crossed.
