Bookshelf Light - cordless pendant on an ornate wrought-iron bracket

Bookshelf light that slides between your books and lights up the shelf

A slim wrought-iron bracket holds a miniature illuminated pendant just above your books. It runs on cell batteries, so there is no cable trailing down the shelf and no outlet to find. The pendant comes in several designs, from lanterns to seasonal figures.

Why choose this bookshelf light?

Most shelf lighting asks for wiring or a free outlet. This one asks for about two centimeters of shelf space. You set it down, and the shelf has a soft point of light.

• Pendant designs: lanterns, ghosts, skeletons and other figures, so you can match a reading nook or a seasonal display.
• Space-saving bracket: the slim arm slides neatly between books instead of standing on the shelf.
• Cordless: the included cell batteries power the pendant, with no visible wires and no outlet nearby.
• No installation: no tools, no screws, no mounting plate. Position it and it is done.
• Wrought iron and resin: a metal frame with a molded pendant, sturdy enough to stay put once placed.

The result is a small decorative light that reads as part of the shelf rather than an appliance on it.

The frame measures 25.5 by 23.5 cm, which suits a standard shelf of paperbacks or hardcovers. Because the pendant hangs forward from the bracket, the light falls across the spines rather than into the wall. Move it to another shelf whenever the arrangement changes.
