Over 1,200 Units Sold in Japan: The Shift in Reading Styles

Along with lifestyle changes, the places where people enjoy reading are no longer limited to a desk. More individuals are reading in various daily settings, including beds, sofas, living rooms, cafes, hotels, and travel destinations.

Additionally, there is a growing number of people who enjoy intricate handwork as hobbies, such as knitting, embroidery, model making, and DIY. This has led to an increased demand for lighting that allows both hands to be free while illuminating only the necessary areas.

Developed with these lifestyle changes in mind, the Glocusent Neck Light is a lightweight, portable neck light that allows users to keep their hands free. Its features have been well-received, with cumulative sales in Japan surpassing 1,200 units in 2026. It is utilized in a wide range of scenarios, including reading, handicrafts, DIY, and outdoor activities.

“Hands-Free Reading”: Changing Not Just Where, But How You Read

“Hands-Free Reading,” as proposed by Glocusent, is more than just a neck light. Traditionally, reading was often done in places with existing lighting, such as desk lamps or bedside lights. In contrast, the neck light allows users to carry light with them, enabling them to enjoy reading freely according to their lifestyle, rather than adjusting their reading location or posture to the lighting. This new reading experience proposed by Glocusent allows individuals to read in their own style, whether lying in bed, relaxing on a sofa, or even at a hotel or campsite while traveling.

Comfortable Reading Environment with a Simple Neck Wear

The Glocusent Neck Light is designed to naturally illuminate the hands, allowing them to remain free, simply by wearing it around the neck. There is no need to attach clips to books or set up desk lights, making it comfortable for various uses beyond reading, such as knitting, handicrafts, DIY, and repair work.

Weighing approximately 131g, the device is lightweight, reducing strain on the neck even during prolonged use. Its portability makes it suitable for use at home, during travel, business trips, or camping.

Optimal Book Light for Reading in Bed

Three Light Modes for Reading and Tasks

The Glocusent Neck Light features three color temperature modes and five brightness levels. The Amber mode (1800K) cuts approximately 99.9% of blue light, providing a gentle light suitable for reading before sleep. The Breeze mode (3400K) offers a natural and calming color, ideal for extended reading of novels and essays. The Precision mode (6000K) brightly illuminates text and fine details, supporting detailed tasks such as studying for qualification exams, handicrafts, DIY, and repairs. Furthermore, the five brightness levels allow users to select the optimal lighting environment based on their surroundings and purpose.
