For example;
This probably very efficient Qi iPhone charger is surrounded by blue LED lights. Given that blue is the brightest colour you can get 8-10 of these ought to be bright enough to read by. I think most of us charge our iDevices over night and I'd rather that be in the same room if not next to me on the bedside table.
I have one wall USB multi port charger that I take travelling with me but I never have it in the bedroom because it has one blue LED. I have a Belkin Qi charger for that, which enables me to charge and use my iPhone as a bedside clock.
On a recent trip away I had the aforementioned wall charger plugged in in the bathroom. At night the glow from the bathroom door was enough for me to easily navigate my way from bed to there and use the facilities without turning on any lights. I can only imagine how bright the above pictured Anker device would be.
Obviously if you use it at the office then there is no problem but there is simply no need for it, what purpose do they serve? The iPhone "bloops" when connected to a working charger and the little green charge icon appears on the top of the screen.
It seems to me that Anker have deliberately alienated a large portion of their buyer market.
