Glocusent 16 LED Rechargeable Book Light review

 This post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure policy here. 

I was recently able to try out the Glocusent 16 LED Rechargeable Book Light which was sent to me for my honest opinion. Honestly, I love it. It is rechargeable, you can change the light setting with a click, and it will last 80+ hours although I can't vouch for the 80 hours yet as I haven't read that many non-digital books to know if it lasts that long yet. 

This is great for both children and adults. You won't bother your partner while reading, it is great for camping or even for the kids who love to read when they are supposed to be sleeping. I was one of those kids for sure. I love that it helps me read without having to ask someone to help turn the light on at night as I am currently battling colon cancer and this gives me some independence on my down days so that I can do something for myself without having to depend on other so much during the night. 

What I think would make this better is a timer that blinks the light when it will turn off for those parents who don't want their kids staying up all night, as a reminder, it's time for bed you can read more tomorrow. 

If you are interested check it out at Glocusent 16 LED Rechargeable Book Light.

Love that this pencil sharpener is electric,but can be used either in your USB port or in a regular outlet.

Great for home, office, school, college, etc. Has Three setting for different pencil tip settings blunt, medium, sharp.

Rechargeable Desk Lamp

Our family loves products that are rechargeable because that means there are less batteries going into landfills or time spent finding out where to drop off our batteries.

Much larger than I thought it would be, works great while I am in bed and my husband is sleeping for either working on the computer or reading, clips to most of the desks in our home. Really fun for a sick child so that they can keep up with their homework if they are bedridden.

Great extra for your college student for late night studying. I love to clip this on my desk in the living room because we have a very dark home, and it never seems to have enough light even in the daytime.

Cree 500 Lumen Bright LED Flashlight Torch

Love that this comes with a storage box. With it being rechargeable it means there will be less batteries wasted. Our daughters seem to go through batteries like water because they always leave them on when they fall asleep. 

Now we can just recharge the flashlight and it is good to go. I also like that it sent the charging unit with it so that I don't have to go around and find one. Easy to use, adjustable light span, compact, and powerful.

Lightning Cords

With a big family and lots of tech we are always in need of a lightning cord. Some go missing as well and being left with no way to charge your tech can be kind of a hassle when you might actually need to use it. This is why we always keep a couple extra around for this very reason.

What we like about the Linkyo is that it has a flat cord which for some reason doesn't get knotted up as much and just seems all around more durable then others out there.

SunLabz D-Rechargeable Batteries NiMH 10000mAh

Our family has been using rechargeable batteries for years. I would like to say that we only use rechargeable batteries but that would be a lie. The main reason we don't is because we didn't know they made other sizes other then AA and AAA, but now that we do we are going to order other size batteries as well as a charger that can keep our batteries charged. 

Being parents means lots of toys that take batteries. The first thing we look for when buying a toy is if it is rechargeable or not. That usually has a big impact on if we buy it at all, but there are some toys that take regular batteries that you can install rechargeable batteries so we sometimes will break down and purchase these as well. 

These would have been real sweet back when we had to replace D size batteries in our baby swing, would have saved a lot of money.

You can purchase SunLabz D-Rechargeable Batteries NiMH 10000mAh on Amazon.

What Sun Labz has to say about their product.
*Please note that batteries come partially charged to maximize storage life. Charge before using.

CHOOSE RECHARGEABLE: SunLabz s mission is to provide smart energy solutions that will encourage more people to switch to rechargeable batteries and other Eco-friendly energy sources. In the United States alone, each year 2.9 billion batteries are thrown away with 179,000 Tons of them ending up in Landfills. By taking a small step through switching to rechargeable batteries and recycling old cells we can make a difference together!

MAKE A SMART FINANCIAL CHOICE: Because our cells last longer and can be recharged over and over again you can now save on buying and throwing away expensive single use batteries. With the average US household buying up to 120 batteries a year, costs can quickly accumulate. Removing the dependence on single use cells is not only a smart ecological choice it is also the right financial choice.

GET MORE CHARGE CYCLES: SunLabz s batteries can be recharged 1000x times, this means you are getting more out of each cell and can depend on their quality for any applications from cameras to flashlights, remote controls and more.
