Q: How do I know when the light is fully charged?

submitted by RIC - 7 months ago

  • A: Not all USB-C cables will charge this guy. I have three working usb-c cables that charge other devices. But only one of the three actually lit up the charge indicator light on this reading light.

    submitted byLanegirl2 - 5 months ago

  • A: Hello guest - We appreciate your interest for this item. For the Hearth & Hand™ Reading Book Light, the charging indicator light is typically red while charging and will turn green once the battery is fully charged. I hope it helps - Juliette.

Q: Mine doesn't seem to want to recharge. Is there a charge indicator light? And must I use the USB-C cable that came with it, or will any USB-C cable work?

submitted by Lanegirl2 - 5 months ago

  • A: Hello, great question! The light requires that you ONLY use the cable that it came with. This light unfortunately, will not work with other USB-C cables. Another good note is that the light is only compatible with a 5V charging box. Please feel free to reach out to Target Guest Services at guest.service@target.com for further assistance.

Q: I don’t remember the cable that came with the book light and wanted to know if the cord included with the sour cream light is black or white? Any other relevant information would also be helpful.

submitted by mxanthos - 9 months ago

  • A: Hi mxanthos! The Reading Book Light – Hearth & Hand™ with Magnolia comes with a black USB-A to USB-C cable. To charge it correctly, plug the USB-A end into a USB wall charger or powered port and the USB-C end into the light. You’ll need a wall adapter (not just the cable) to charge it from a standard outlet.

    Stopped Working After 3 Hours

    I used this light for a task light for my laptop. The light was the right size. It produced adequate light without producing glare. However, the light stopped working after 3 hours of continuous use.

    Perfect little kids bedtime reading light

    Very adorable little light for my sons bedtime drawing or reading. Perfectly small and warm light. BUT the wire neck is not super strong, and the lamps head tends to drag it down anytime we try to adjust it to a more upright position. Not a big problem, but just could be better.

    Hi there, we’re so glad the little book light has been a great fit for your son’s bedtime reading and drawing! We appreciate the feedback on the neck and lamp head. Thanks for choosing Hearth & Hand with Magnolia!

    Cord is WAY too short. I have no idea how someone thought this length of charging cord could reach from the plug to the top of the headboard, or anywhere.

    Needs a slow charger (voltage )

    Okay. So my lamp died and then I read all these posts and was disheartened but then one post said that it needed a low voltage charger. I happened to have like 5 from some little led lights that I bought from before. It immediately charged it, there was a flashing red light and then once it was charged it turned green. Now it’s working perfect! So I’ll give it a 4 just because it doesn’t come with its own charger and no explanation. Love the warm light.

    Hi ana, thanks for sharing your experience! We’re glad you were able to get the book light working and that you love the warm light. We appreciate your feedback about the charging requirements and will keep it in mind for future products.
