reading light

Bedside book lamp

A reading light is a small lamp designed to illuminate a book or other reading material without lighting up an entire room.

These typically feature adjustable necks or clips that let you direct the beam precisely where needed, and they're common fixtures on headboards, airplane seats, and beside armchairs.
