# Luminous Page Savers The Lightmark is a Clever Combination of a Reading Light and a Bookmark By Amelia Roblin | Published 2013-03-01 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightmark References: [yuhiraoka.wix](http://yuhiraoka.wix.com/) You might not always be able to anticipate when a reading light might be necessary, making it quite convenient to have one built right into your page saver. The Lightmark measures 2.4 centimeters in width and 12.4 centimeters in length; an incredible thickness of just 3 millimeters makes it an ideal bookmark, slipping nicely in between the leaves of your current read. If it weren't for the row of gold contacts and the tiny power button on the back, you might not guess that Yu Hiraoka's product was electronic. A tiny charging dock can prepare the Lightmark for hours of nighttime usage. When it's too dark to decipher text, switch it on, the OLED lighting strip will illuminate and can cast a glow on your open novel while wedged behind the next page. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.1/10 - Popularity: 12% | Activity: 14% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Inventions](https://www.trendhunter.com/inventions) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Built-in Reading Lights:** The trend of integrating reading lights into everyday objects presents opportunities for creating new products that combine functionality and convenience. - **Thin Electronic Bookmarks:** The trend of thin electronic bookmarks opens up possibilities for creating innovative reading accessories that are both sleek and practical. - **Wireless Charging for Reading Lights:** The trend of wireless charging for reading lights offers a disruptive opportunity to create portable and hassle-free lighting solutions for avid readers. ### Who This Affects Most - **Consumer Electronics:** The consumer electronics industry can explore the trend of integrating reading lights and thin electronic bookmarks into various devices, such as e-readers, tablets, and smartphones. - **Publishing:** The publishing industry can leverage the trend of built-in reading lights and thin electronic bookmarks to enhance the reading experience and create unique book accessories. - **Lighting:** The lighting industry can embrace the trend of wireless charging for reading lights and collaborate with other industries to develop innovative lighting solutions for different settings. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Light-Equipped Reading Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dasung.md) - [Book-Shaped Transparent Bookmarks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/transparent-bookmark.md) - [Cabin-Shaped Reading Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boof-reading-light.md) - [Tech-Charging Book Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/haaase-liesma-bookshelf.md) - [Highlighter-Inspired Reading Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digital-highlighter.md) - [Reading Book Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/penguin-x-moebe.md) - [Pop-Up Reading Light Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/personal-task-lamp.md) - [Space-Saving Desk Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spacesaving-desk-lamp.md) - [Mobile Reading Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/astropads-new-bookcase.md)
