Just clip handy LED micro task light on your book, laptop or clipboard and you will have four bright, energy-smart and long-lasting light-emitting-diodes to light up your life.

Telescoping “arms” and a rotating head make it easy to aim the light where you want it across your page or keyboard. Unlike traditional bulbs, there are no filaments to break or wear out, so the LEDs never need replacing.

They also don’t waste energy by producing heat so batteries last longer.

One thing you won’t have to use with the Kindle e-book reader is a physical bookmark – which feels a bit sad when you come across something as beautiful as this.

Each one of these bookmarks are hand-made by the designer, so no one looks exactly the same. The product is sold as a set of three: red, white and gray.

The Liquid Bookmark is available from Designboom for $29.
