NEWS – I love it when people re-imagine the design of common-place things. The Gingko Smart Book Light is one of those clever re-imaginings. This particular lamp is an LED light that looks like a leather-bound book and is a beautiful statement piece for your desk.
This book light has water-proof, soft-touch, and tear-resistant pages that are lit up with soft-white LED light (lasts 35,000 hours). This light has a rechargeable battery (charging time: 2-3 hours) and will run for about 10-12 hours, but it can be plugged in as well.
The Smart Book Light from Gingko comes in two different sizes and your choice of black or brown leather colors. The large size is 17 cm W x 21.5 cm H x 2.5 cm and the mini size is 9 cm x 12.2 cm x 2.5 cm. This clever decorative light ships from the U.K. and is available from Gingko for $80.40 (£65) for the large version or $43.29 (£35) for the mini version plus $12.37 (£10) shipping. If you want to get it quicker, order from Amazon.

Very creative! I wonder if it’s bright enough as a desk lamp, or does it just glow decoratively?
John – I can’t find any info about how many lumens the light is. Based on the photos, it looks like it is more of a decorative light…
