The plate disappears behind the spines. Only the scrollwork shows.

My bookshelf finally has a mood

Every clip-on shelf light I have tried looks like hardware. This one looks like it came with the house.

Bought one, ordered three more

Get the set straight away. One looks lonely. Three down a bookcase and the whole wall changes at night.

The install really is 10 seconds

I was sceptical a plate between two books would hold. It does not budge, even after knocking the shelf.

Perfect gift

Gave the little reader to my sister and she screamed. Packaging was lovely too.

Questions

Before you order.

If two books can sit side by side on it, yes. The 2mm plate slides into the gap between any two books, hardback or paperback, on shelves 6 to 14 inches deep. No lip, bracket or wall contact needed.

No. The plate is powder-coated and deburred at every edge, and rests against the boards rather than the pages.

Three AAA batteries, which are not included. There is no cable to run down the bookcase.
