Amber Light + Book Light Review: Candle-Warm Reading Light, Shaky Longevity

This is a single-purpose light: small, clip-on and amber only, with no white mode at all. Amber Light + built it for reading at night without pushing back sleep, and its warm, candle-like tone is the most praised thing about it. Three brightness settings, a flexible neck and a padded clamp cover the rest.

TL;DRThe Short Answer: Is the Amber Light + Book Worth It?

Durability is the question hanging over an otherwise well-judged bedtime light. Amber Light + filters out 99.95% of blue light for a 1600K, candle-like glow, with three settings up to 80 lumens and a 1000mAh battery rated for 30+ hours. But durability draws more complaints than praise, battery life and value split opinion, and no manufacturer warranty is stated. If yours lasts, it is a gentle light for reading before sleep.

NoFussDeal rates the Amber Light + Book 4.4 out of 5 at $12.99. Last updated September 27, 2026.

What Stands Out

  1. Amber only, at 1600K, with 99.95% of blue light filtered out.
  2. Three brightness settings of 25%, 50% and 100%, rated at 20, 40 and 80 lumens.
  3. A 1000mAh battery rated for 30+ hours from a 4-hour charge.
  4. Weighs 70 g (2.5 oz) and clips to a book, e-reader or laptop on a padded clamp.
  5. Four LEDs drawing 1 watt, on a flexible neck.
  6. Dims low enough to double as a soft, warm night light in a child's room.

Strengths and Drawbacks

What works

  • Amber-only light at 1600K, with 99.95% of blue light filtered out.
  • A warm, candle-like tone that is gentle before sleep.
  • Three clear settings, rated at 20, 40 and 80 lumens.
  • Light at 70 g, with a padded clamp that grips books, e-readers and headboards.
  • The flexible neck holds where you set it, one owner finds.
  • Rated for 30+ hours from its 1000mAh battery.

What does not

  • Durability draws more complaints than praise, including lights that broke within a year.
  • Amber Light + states no manufacturer warranty.
  • Battery life splits opinion, with some lights no longer charging.
  • No white mode, so colors in illustrations and highlighted notes are hard to tell apart.
  • Switches on easily in a bag and can drain before you notice, one owner finds.
  • A full charge takes 4 hours.
  • Can be top-heavy on a short paperback unless enough pages are clipped.

Features in Depth

01

Amber-Only 1600K Light

Color Amber, 1600K Blue Light Removed 99.95% White Mode None

Amber Light + says the light removes 99.95% of blue light, producing an amber tone at 1600K. For comparison, a warm white household bulb usually sits around 2700K and daylight-style white LEDs around 5000K to 6500K, so this is far toward the candle end of the scale. The reason it matters is biological rather than aesthetic: light in the blue range is what the eye's melatonin-regulating cells respond to most strongly, so removing it lets you read without sending the brain a daytime signal. Lighting quality is by far the most praised thing about this light, and the amber tone is described as soothing, cozy and gentle on the eyes. The trade-off is that there is no white mode at all. Colored illustrations, maps and highlighted notes are hard to read under amber, and anyone who also wants a crisp light for detailed daytime work will need a second light.

Three Lumen-Rated Settings

Low 25%, 20 lumens Medium 50%, 40 lumens High 100%, 80 lumens

Amber Light + gives actual output figures: the three settings of 25%, 50% and 100% are rated at 20, 40 and 80 lumens. Lumens measure total light output, and at book-light distances even 20 is enough to read by in a dark room, because the lamp sits close to the page and all of the light lands on a small area. One owner reads comfortably on the lowest setting and finds it doesn't bother a partner who falls asleep first. The top setting at 80 lumens is still modest, which keeps light from spilling around the bedroom. The brightness settings draw more praise than complaint. Amber Light + also suggests dimming it for use as a soft night light in a child's room, where a warm, low glow is less disruptive to sleep than a white one.

Battery and Charging

Battery 1000mAh lithium Runtime 30+ hours Charge Time 4 hours

A 1000mAh lithium battery powers the light and is rated for 30+ hours of reading from a 4-hour charge. With four LEDs drawing only 1 watt, a modest battery goes a long way, and one owner gets about a week of daily use between charges while another praises how quickly it charges. Battery life nonetheless splits opinion: some lights hold a charge for a long time, while others eventually stop charging at all, which ties into the wider durability concern. Four hours is also a long charge for a small light, so charging it during the day is the easy routine. One practical note from a four-star owner: the button is easy to press by accident in a bag, and the light can run itself flat on a trip before you notice, so check it is off before packing or carry it where nothing presses on it.

Clamp, Neck and Build

Weight 70 g (2.5 oz) Mount Padded clamp Warranty None stated

At 70 g (2.5 oz) it is light enough to clip to an e-reader, a book or a laptop without dragging it over, and the padded clamp is a positive theme: one owner who borrows almost exclusively from the library says it has never damaged a book, and another hangs it from a headboard. The flexible neck holds exactly where you set it, the library reader finds, though the head can make a short paperback top-heavy unless you clip a good thickness of pages. Durability is the weak spot. It draws more complaints than praise, including lights that broke within a year, and Amber Light + states no manufacturer warranty. It is not water resistant. Handle it gently, keep it out of bags where it can be crushed, and keep your proof of purchase until it is safely past the return window.

How We Scored It

Based on
The manufacturer's published specifications and the product's live Amazon listing.
Owner rating
4.5 out of 5 on Amazon, recorded September 27, 2026
How we score
We score each thing that comes up most in owner feedback on the Amber Light + Amber Book Light. Eight things come up most in owner feedback: five draw praise, two split opinion and one draws mostly complaints. Its ratings average 4.5 stars (79% five stars, 10% four, 3% three and 8% one or two), so every score starts at 90, that average on a 100 point scale. Where opinion is split, we take off 6. Where it draws mostly complaints, we take off 12. Then we read eight owner reviews in full (every one we found gave it four or five stars) and move the score up to 5 points either way depending on how the owners who mention it rated the product. Our overall score starts from the same 4.5 star average and loses 0.1 for each thing that draws mostly complaints, with 0.1 more when at least a tenth of ratings are one star, never more than 0.3 in all. Here that takes off 0.1, which gives 4.4. Read our editorial standards

What Buyers Say

Lighting quality draws by far the most praise, followed by the soothing amber tone, the brightness settings and the clip, with bedtime reading beside a sleeping partner the favorite use. Durability is the exception: it draws more complaints than praise, and battery life and value for money both split opinion. Every review we read was positive, but one four-star owner notes it switches on easily in a bag and drains the charge before they notice, and another finds it a little heavy on shorter paperbacks unless enough pages are clipped.

Setting It Up

  1. Charge it fully

    Give it a full charge before first use. Amber Light + quotes 4 hours for a charge rated at 30+ hours of reading.

  2. Clip it on

    Open the padded clamp over the book's cover, an e-reader, a laptop or a headboard. On a short paperback, clip a good thickness of pages so the head doesn't tip the book.

  3. Aim the neck

    Bend the flexible neck so the head points down at the page and away from anyone beside you.

  4. Choose a brightness

    Press the button to step through 25%, 50% and 100%. The lowest, rated at 20 lumens, is enough for close reading in a dark room and is the gentlest before sleep.

  5. Switch it off before packing

    Check that it is off before it goes in a bag; one owner finds the button is easily pressed in transit and the charge runs down.

Common Questions

Does it block all blue light?

Amber Light + says it removes 99.95% of blue light, giving an amber tone at 1600K. There is no white mode.

How bright is it?

It has three settings, 25%, 50% and 100%, rated at 20, 40 and 80 lumens. One owner reads comfortably on the lowest in a dark bedroom.

How long does the battery last?

The 1000mAh battery is rated for 30+ hours from a 4-hour charge. One owner goes about a week between charges with daily use, though battery life splits opinion overall.

Does it have a warranty?

Amber Light + states no manufacturer warranty. Durability draws more complaints than praise, so keep your proof of purchase for the return window.

Will the clamp damage books?

The clamp is padded, and one owner who borrows almost exclusively from the library says it has never damaged a book.

Can it be used as a night light?

Yes. Amber Light + suggests dimming it for a soft, warm night light in a child's room.

The Verdict

4.4Out of 5

As a bedtime light, this does exactly what it sets out to do. Filtering out 99.95% of blue light for a 1600K glow, it lets you read late with far less of the signal that keeps the brain alert, and the three settings, rated at 20, 40 and 80 lumens, keep the light on the page rather than the room. At 70 g on a padded clamp it is easy on books, including library ones, and the 1000mAh battery is rated for 30+ hours. The warm tone is the most praised thing about it. The problem is longevity. Durability draws more complaints than praise, battery life and value for money split opinion, and Amber Light + states no manufacturer warranty, so a light that fails after the return window is simply a loss. Amber also means no white mode, which rules out color-coded notes and illustrated books. If you mostly read novels in bed and are willing to take the durability risk, it is a pleasant, sleep-friendly light; if you want reassurance that it will last, look for a light with a stated warranty.

Who should buy it

  • Readers who put sleep first
  • Partners who read after the other has gone to sleep.
  • Parents who want a dim, warm night light for a child's room.
  • Gift buyers looking for a small, practical present for a bookworm.

Who should skip it

  • Anyone who reads illustrated books, maps or color-coded notes at night.
  • Buyers who want a manufacturer warranty behind a small electronic.
  • Readers who want a white light option for detailed work.

A soothing, sleep-friendly amber book light that is easy to live with, if it lasts, and nothing but the return window protects you if it doesn't.
