Find the Right LED Reading Light For Your Lectern Or Pulpit!



Littlite gooseneck lighting has evolved throughout the years.  We started 35 years ago with a 2 Watt Incandescent bulb (our Classic LO line), then added a 5 Watt Halogen bulb (our Classic HI line), and in 2003 we added our Signature LED line.  We’re now on our 5th Generation of LED reading lights and their performance has improved significantly over that time.  Below is a summary of our different lamp’s performance:

Learn How LED Reading Lights Can Save You Money!

Do you like to keep your bedside lamp on at night and read before you go to bed?

Find out how you can start saving money immediately and practice an ecologically smart way to save energy at the same time!

Littlite LED reading lights are extremely energy efficient. Imagine saving the earth – one light at a time! LED lights last longer so landfills would decrease the amount of waste they accumulates each year. According to the Organic Consumers Association, “each year an estimated 600 million fluorescent lamps are disposed of in U.S. landfills, amounting to 30,000 pounds of mercury waste.”

LED reading lights provide many benefits including:

1.    Last 10 times longer than fluorescent light blubs
2.    Reduce the chance of burns
3.    Reduce high energy costs
4.    Decrease toxic chemicals in your home
5.    Save money on energy costs and future replacements

Make a change today, and buy a LED reading light! These lights are ideal for lectern lights, pulpit lights, ambo lights, for conference tables, and other applications that require a permanently mounted, compact task light.
