Kandle by Ozeri II Book Light -- LED Reading Light Designed for Books and eReaders.

It lights the Kindle screen just fine. I like the fact that it has two settings, and that it comes with extra batteries (whoo hoo!) and a pouch. What would make it absolutely perfect is if the back part of the clip were thinner -- thin enough to slide between the Kindle and my Verso cover without stretching the elastic bands that hold the Kindle in the cover. But thats probably not possible, given that they have to put the batteries somewhere. And even the Verso lights arent designed that way. Other than that, this is a great little reading light.

I received the Ozeri II Reading Light just a few days after ordering it. Surprized me I assure you. I carry my Kindle in my handbag and this unit comes with its own carry pouch which is great. The pouch is thin and so doesnt add excessive bulk to store in in my handbag. I light is bright but not anoyingly so. Oh, I forgot to mention it has two strenghts!! I am a home healthcare nurse, work overnight, and stay in my patients bedroom overnight so excess light is a problem to solve. With the Ozeri II Reading Light the problem is solved. Thanks to all of you for a wonderful product. So easy to use and appears to be solid in construction. If you are thinking about purchasing one of these - dont hesitate - its great.

Kandle II by Ozeri is the best book light Ive owned, after using three other e-book lights with my Amazon Kindle. I like it to the point that I have already bought three more as gifts for family and friends. It is very compact, lightweight, clips securely to the top edge of the Kindle, and illuminates the whole screen evenly. The newest version has two functional improvements; there is now a self-locking battery cover and the light goes off - and stays off - automatically when the device is closed. This demonstrates Ozeris commitment to manufacture fine products. Furthermore, their customer service is outstanding. When my original Kandle began malfunctioning, I contacted them for a replacement as the device was still under warranty. I received a response from them within hours. They apologized for the problems I was experiencing with their product and a new Kandle II was at my door the same week, free of charge (I did not have to waste time returning the original device). In summary, the Kandle II e-book light is extremely functional, esthetically very pleasing, and I highly recommend the Kandle II by Ozeri to anyone looking for a light to use with their Amazon Kindle.

I recently purchased a Kindle, and wanted a nice light to go with it. Despite all my friends advice, I decided against the official cover with light, and went for a regular cover and a Kandle II. I couldnt be happier with my decision. First of all, this product is very useful and in my opinion is the best at its job. It fits well on the Kindle, it illuminates the whole screen, and it has two levels of brightness. It even comes with a carrying pouch and extra batteries! If you were to change your kindle (or any e-reader) to one with different dimensions, you can still use the Kandle. You can even use it with regular books that are not too thick (it might be a little annoying when passing the pages, but you can use it with regular books). I am overall very satisfied with the product itself. Now onto Ozeri itself. There was a small problem with my order (related to the shipping process, not the quality of the product), and I received fantastic customer service from them. Really, fantastic. They were very nice all the way and did more than solve the problem. That being said, I definitely recommend the Kandle for your e-reader, and I would definitely buy from Ozeri again.

Received the Kandle II today, and Im really impressed! My Kindle Touch was a gift for Christmas last year, and Ive been searching for a light ever since (I have a drawerful of various designs to prove it!). I havent been happy with any of them, and was seriously considering upgrading to the Paper White. Came across this little gem quite by accident and was immediately interested. It was small, no flimsy arm to get in the way or adjust, just clean lines and, I hoped, a good light without glare that would reach to the bottom of the screen. Then I started reading the reviews. I always read beginning with the newest, and Im glad I did. Apparently, when this light was first offered (I read reviews back to 2011), it had several problems, and there were many complaints. However, the reviews from early 2012 were all very favorable. Apparently this company was actually reading these negative reviews and acted on them to improve their product. The light gives a good even light all the way to the bottom of the screen, there is no glare whatsoever, and it clips nicely to the Kindle (with a Kindle cover). I cant speak to battery life, Ive only had it one day; however, this light is so amazing Im not really conerned about it, Ill just make sure I always have batteries on hand. Bottom line, Ill be keeping my Touch for a good long time because of this light. I highly recommend it to all Kindle owners.

At $20, the Kandle is probably the best reading light I have used. The three bulbs give even illumination across the screen and from top to bottom. The clip-on design is wide and provides a stable fit across the top of my Kindle. The gray color closely matches that of the Kindle. The design is very ergonomic and compliments the Kindle well. I have used various lighting solutions for my Kindle e-reader and found that the Kandle works best for me. Other worm lights and even the Kindle lighted cover do not illuminate as evenly as the Kandle. Pros: Easy use, even illumination, nice design, and long battery life. Cons: Doesnt use the Kindles battery but this is a fair trade-off.

I love reading in bed before I go to sleep, however, I married a great guy who is disturbed by the lamp light being on. This little light doesnt disturb his sleep, and I can read to my hearts content. I like the fact that it turns off when closed and has two brightness settings. Although it is basically low profile it still has to be clipped to the outside cover or removed to store the reader when not in use. Not a big deal, it is still a great addition to my Kindle Reader.

We love the Kandle by Ozeri II. I saw one being used for a Kindle on a plane in November and ordered one as a gift for my husbnad who was reading in bed holding a flashlight. He loves it and uses it all the time. Its light, very compact, and the batteries last a long time. Weve had other compact lights for night time reading but theyre heavier, inflexible and larger, and the batteries die quickly. So I just ordered one for my Kindle because were planning a big trip and I want to be able to read on the plane and in bed. Often hotel rooms have poor bedside lighting. Then I ordered an extra one for a gift for a family member. Anyone who uses a Kindle or an iPad, or anyone who reads in bed, should have one of these little lights. They are great!! Thank you Ozeri!

I design high-end LED lighting, so I perhaps a bit biased. In any case, I am satisfied with the Kandle, but it has some obvious improvement areas. Lets start with the good first. The light is a very nice small size, perhaps the size of a deck of cards. Its quite light as well. The grey one has a soft touch type of paint that has an almost rubber feel. I think this is nice. It definitely feels a bit more high quality than if it were not painted in this way. The light is sufficiently bright for most any situation that I have used it in. Now for the bad. It uses three inexpensive 5mm LEDs. These are the kind you see on very cheap flashlights at your typical store checkout register. They look a bit different, because they are wide-angle, which is why they have a flat top to them. You absolutely cannot expect much from these LEDs. They are no more than a few cents a piece and have typically very loose design tolerances. They also have a very poor color output. They are very cool in color temperature, which results in a blueish, light. This perhaps is not as critical for reading text, but a warmer color temperature may enhance the perception that e-ink is almost real paper. Another problem with these LEDs and the wide angle (typically 110 degrees) is that stray light goes everywhere. The Kandle is not very good for use in bed, or an otherwise intimate setting since you will likely be lighting anything within a 10 foot radius. To get the most even lighting, you need to tip the moveable head up quite far, which only exacerbates the problem. The Kandle has two brightness modes which are, in effect, useless because the brightest is far too bright to use in most situations. Something I found distracting is that the LEDs are dimmed using PWM, which causes some high-frequency flicker that becomes perceptible if you are moving in relation to the Kandle (ie. moving the Kandle, or walking by it for example). LEDs can be dimmed with a constant current driver, which eliminates flicker, but adds some cost the the driver hardware. One last problem is the way the light clips onto the kindle. The clip mechanism just isnt designed right to hold onto the Kindle 3G securely. Obviously, you shouldnt be moving much while reading, but youll need to be cautious moving you Kindle around with this attached. It would be impolite to post a critical review without some suggestions. I have a few that I think could make this a really good light. First, improve the LEDs. Much higher quality LEDs are available, and should be used. The increase in cost would be negligible. In addition, adding directional turning film to the lens is one method to control the light leaking to the sides, while keeping a uniform illumination of the screen. This film basically squeezes the light into a more shaped pattern - long vertically and narrow horizontally in this case. A wider range of dimming especially towards the low end is badly needed. I dont like using this in bed in its current state. The clip needs a more aggressive, but sticky material. Improving the mechanism shape could allow the Kandle to hold much tighter. Adding a rechargeable battery to the Kandle would be great. If I had to charge it no more than the Kindle (which would only require a very small battery with these LEDs) I would be very happy. Im not too fond of replacing and throwing away batteries. I would also make the on/off/dimming button easier to press. The current design is a bit tough to use ergonomically when the light head is open. All things considered, this light isnt bad. It probably is one of the best out there, which is good, but say a lot about the state of Kindle lights. I would definitely recommend it, as most people will probably not be bothered by most of what I observed.

I used to have the case with the built in light that ran off my kindle battery. LOVED it. Unfortunately couldnt find another one once it died. I bought a different light (Mighty bright) and it was mighty awful. The light from my tv gave me more light than that thing did. I bought this one to replace it. I was in love as soon as I turned it on. It is bright enough and dont have any angle problems because you clip it on to the top. The light has two light settings, I find the lower one works just fine for me. Now I can happily read in my bed at night without having to get up and turn the overhead light on/off! Love it. Highly recommend this light.
