booklights

Clip-on page illuminators

Booklights are small, portable lamps designed to illuminate a book or e-reader without disturbing others nearby.

They typically clip onto the book or reading device: She used a booklight so she wouldn't wake her partner.

The term also refers to theatrical lighting instruments, though this sense is far less common.
