Book Lights: Tougher Than You'd Think

It’s not often that when you’re being shown a new product at a trade show, the salesman punches it and throws it to the floor. Imagine our surprise and horror then, when this very thing happened as we gazed in wonder at these beautiful book lights.

The concertina-like folds of paper that surround the LED lights seem so delicate which is, of course, the point of his demonstration. Namely to show that the fragile-looking ‘pages’ are actually very robust and will happily pop back into shape with a simple close of the book. A gift needs to be tough if it’s going to survive the rigours of life in a busy home (including being grabbed by inquisitive small people) and these book lights are built to be used.

We love hearing about how our items are fitting into the lives of our customers. Our favourite story about these lights so far is from the customer who uses hers to light her way to the loo in the middle of the night without waking her happily slumbering husband!

Thanks to that ingenious salesman and his somewhat violent demo, we can reassure her that if she accidentally drops it and kicks it down the stairs it’ll probably survive the fall :)
