How bright is the led light on top? Hopefully not blue. Regardless, could you put a book on top to completely block light? tx!

Can't say, after blowing the amp on two (Paying the hefty shipping((Not covered)) to repair/replace the first one under warranty)in a few months its been scraped out. Bought the LSR 2300 and love it.

Hello Jeff, the LED is actually Red when the speaker is plugged into power, but not being used. Once the speaker is being used with the receiver, it turns Green. Neither are super bright, but they are lit enough to see it. I hardly notice, since it is on top of the speaker, and yes, you can put multiple books over it, or even a fake/faux plant on it, because it is pretty big and has enough room for it. I don't have anything on top of it, just because I really like a "clean" look to it, since I do not like anything cluttering things up. I hope this answers your question.

I think it would be perfect for such a use. They throw a fair amount of light at a short distance, so reading should be fine. I don't agree with the other users who said it's very low light. It would be way too bright as a night-light (IMO). It's not going to light up a room, but a kid doesn't need a lot of light for bedtime reading.

Brightness is personal preference. You might be fine with it, and another person may not be. So unfortunately I'm unable to answer that. keep in mind that the directions explain that the light should not be directly in front of you. So you might want to place the light in the corner of your desk.

Yes, quite bright. The light it puts out is pretty directional though, so it doesn't necessarily dazzle the entire room. I have mine mounted on a side table next to the bed, and I can aim it toward the foot of the bed to give plenty of light for reading without keeping my wife awake on the other side of the bed. Of course, if you mount it on the headboard and have it pointing down over the pillows, it's going to be pretty well lit everywhere. It is not a pencil beam by any means.

It IS bright enough to read by. HOWEVER; I would think the color wouldn't be great for reading. It may make the pages look washed out.

Hi MaryKate: I don't recommend this product. It gives off very little light. I regret having bought it. It is purely decorative. Certainly not functional. I have it placed on the wall in lieu of a picture. Appx 9" across the top and 8" high.

You could put duct or electric tape over the lights. You could open the case and cut the leads to the lights. If you use it in a family room/man cave put something in front of it to block the lights.

Yes you can. My son read it in the car when it was dark and he didn't complain. Lately I have been using it at night to read and its okay. I don't like it on my head but if you position it right toward the book its fine. Kind of bright. Its a great purchase but maybe a book lamp would help if your sole purpose is to read at night.

I use mine by the bedside often and it doesn't bother me at all. Yes, you can certainly block out the light.

The light has various setings for brightness, depending on the task at hand. I use it for reading, as well as other tasks and it has worked for me. The brightness level is on par with a 100 watt incandescent bulb, but since it's LED, you have to check the amount of lumens to ascertain its precise brightness level.

It's a dim blue LED. It shines upwards, not sideways. I doubt it's a problem for you.

Whenever I have a product with an annoying light I get out my black electrical tape to cure the issue. What I do is cut a piece to size and put it over the LED window. If I want to see the light I just cover enough of it so that the light is less of a nuisance. I hope this gives you some relief.

Hey there buyer. As Endres and Sancho have said previously, the only lights that are on the keyboard are in the usual place in the top right of the keyboard for the num lock, caps lock, etc. lights. They are blue in color, and to be honest, I did not really find them too distracting or too bright. I'm in a relatively well lit room, so it's probably just environment. And the entire keyboard does NOT light up, it's just the top right corner.

I would say it's absolutely bright enough, but there is no way to direct the light to the page. Being an all-over glow it may cause a problem trying to read with it as I imagine if it was close to him it would shine into his eyes at the same time as on the page, but if it was farther away it may cause eye strain.

I find the LED lights to be less than the typical night; but if they bother you they can be easily cover with an index card and a little tape. Also at the low fan setting I find it to be very quite with a slight hum that is easy to ignore.

Yes, I have 10 of them in my home. One in each room and in the hallways. I'm using them as light for the whole room. I hung them high so the light can spread. I have 2 of them in my bedroom, one on either side of the bed for reading or whatever. But bare in mind LED lights or different than incandescent lights. They put out a sort of blueish light. Hang it right where you want read.

I have the light mounted about nine feet high, above an outside entrance. At that height the light provides very good, even illumination in a circle of about a ten foot radius. When I say very good illumination, I could certainly read under it, at least for a while. The light has a blue hue that looks a little harsh...I'd prefer a warmer color temperature but if that's my only complaint...
