Looking for some ways to read in bed...

We have a RP-178, and are in need of reading light(s), either battery or hard wired, for the back bed area. I've installed a slotted shelf over the bed for storage, and it blocks the ceiling light. I suppose the light could be mounted to the shelf or the wall. Any solutions out there..?

I think you have the right idea with a battery operated light that could be mounted on the wall or set on the shelf. Trying to run wiring would be a challenge.

My wife solved the problem by getting a reading light that clips onto the book she is reading. It uses a LED and batteries. And I find that it doesn't interfere if I want to go to sleep.
