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

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.

Purchased in June 2011, worked for about 4 to 5 weeks, thought the batteries needed replacement, worked for another few weeke, then had to replace batteries again. After about 3-4 months, does not work. Light flickers on & off. Contacted Amazon but because it was past 30 days, could not return. Contacted the vender listed via e-mail. No response at all. So now Im out $25 + S&H charges and no light for my Kindle. I feel swindled....VERY disappointed that Amazon could not give me any further direction as to how to proceed with replacement or refund. Anyone else experience this problem? Any solutions out there? 3-21-12: I was contacted by the vendor within 24 hours of my review...They replaced the light within a weeks time, new light working fine at this time...will keep posted if any further problems.

I needed a light for my Kindle because I share my room with a roommate who goes to sleep early. After doing some research on Amazon.com, I finally settled on the Kandle by Ozeri II. First of all, this light is small but powerful. The 3 LED lights provide the perfect amount of brightness for me to read my Kindle while not disturbing my roommate (even at the lower setting). It has a lightweight, compact design with a nice matte finish. The color also matches the graphite Kindle. The Kandle II comes with a protective pouch, 2 extra batteries, and a mini screwdriver needed to access the battery compartment. My only issue with the Kandle II is the placement of the power switch. Its located right at the hinge of the light, so if you open the light before you switch it on, it tends to close when you push the switch. Not a huge deal, just something I noticed when using the light for the first time. Pros: - lightweight - bright - nice design and quality Cons: - expensive for a book light - power switch at hinge

Even though I read all about it, I expected something bigger. Maybe because they said it would light the whole page of the kindle, not just part of it. I read a lot of reviews, about a lot of lights and chose very carefully. And it was worth it! First of all, the light came in a neat little box. When you open the box, immediately you feel like a valued customer. Everything in the box is just so...luxurious. I couldnt find a better word. You get a little bag to put the lights in. And you get 2 (TWO) sets of batteries, so you dont have to worry about that for a while. When I first took the light in my hand, it felt smooth, and light, but at the same time, sturdy. As I had expected a larger thing, I was really suprised to see how small it was. Then I clipped it to my kindle. You can adjust the light to make it perfect angle. You have two options for brightness, which is great, because in dim light the less bright setting is more than enough. And it DOES light the whole page. If I really wanted to find something not even wrong but some need of getting used to, is that the on-off button is right where you would grab the light when you want to clip it on. But it doesnt turn on that easy. So, its perfect. I can even use it with my good old paperbacks. and one more thing, when you close the light, it is just a round something, nothing is sticking out, so its good for travel, you wont break it. Great purchase!

I have the version with two brightness levels. It clamps onto my Nook Touch reader well, and If I lift up the articulating lamp I can keep the light in place while closing the cover I use with my reader. I cant complain about the illumination which is bright and broad - especially compared to the single LED Nook light I was using before. I just had to change the batteries and was surprised at how fussy the procedure is. The battery compartment is held in place with a tiny screw, so you need a jewelers screwdriver. The batteries stack and you have to get the bottom one under a tab before you can add the second cell. Keeping the batteries in place while replacing the door and its screw is somewhat tricky. Im frankly disappointed that changing batteries requires a tool, requires removal of a small (easy to lose) screw, and it requires some artful reassembly technique. Considering how fast this light burns through batteries, youll need to change cells often enough that the poor compartment design is a problem. And youll need to carry a screwdriver to change cells when you travel. A second minor complaint is that I can fold the articulating arm down in contact with the reader and its hard to tell that the LEDs are on since the lamp head is opaque. This light would be improved if there was a translucent portion of the lamp assembly that would serve as an indicator lamp to warn you if the lights still on when the arm is folded flat.

I am using a Nook Touch, not a kindle, so I was a little concerned that it wouldnt work as well (grip the case or get in the way) on a different device. I was very pleasantly suprised. The illumination is sufficiently adjustable, both in terms of the intensity and the angle, to provide clear and bright illumination across the screen. The width of the light insures that it provides even illumination across the screen as well. Cant comment yet on the battery life but I dont read under very dim conditions too often so I am expecting quite a while. The only down side to this has been the lack of a rechargeable battery. Nice job.

The single clip on light that I had been using wasnt a good fit. The Kandle is well rated and has more bulbs and the clip area is larger. Everything is fine with the Kandle light with one exception, I have a cover for my Kindle and the cover and Kindle combination is a little thick for the Kandle. It works, but squeezing the attachment open and getting a solid fit barely makes it.

I personally own both the original Kandle (in black), and now the graphite Kandle 2! I have used them for my Kindle 3. First of all, the only issue I had with the original Kandle was the brightness. It just wasnt QUITE bright enough at the bottom for my tastes. I saw the Kandle 2, and I figured it would be perfect. I was not let down. Differences: 1. Original Kandle has only one setting. Its on or its off. Kandle 2 has 2 brightness options. 2. Original Kandle has only two lights on each end of the unit. The Kandle 2 has three (one added in the middle). I have tested these side by side, and the actual difference in brightness is around 30% more for the first setting, 50% more for second setting. This equates to (for me) an absolute PERFECT illumination for the entire Kindle page. Bravo, Ozeri. 3. Instead of a switch type power button that you must almost use your fingernail to push over to one side, the new Kandle has a simple large button on the top. Push it once for low setting, again for high setting, again for off. 4. The feel of the plastic is almost velvety. The original Kandle is simply hard black shiny plastic. the graphite color is more matte. I noticed the softness immediately when I took it out of the package. Maybe Im just a nerd, but it makes me love it even more. Also, the color is almost identical to the graphite color of the Kindle. Thats a plus for fashionistas like myself (har har). And there you have it! I absolutely love mine and will likely be purchasing another for my boyfriend and his original Kindle 1! You will not regret this purchase =)

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.

This book light has a very nice feel to it. Quality manufacturing. Comes with an extra set of batteries which is a nice touch. It has an auto shut feature, the light will go off when you snap it closed. No need to depress the Power button. The light has two brightness settings which comes in handy when reading in bed next to your spouse. The only negative I can think of is that the Kindle page is illuminated unevenly no matter how you position the light. Brighter on top, less bright toward the bottom of the page. This issue is not specific to this product but to book lights in general. So really it is not a knock on the Kandle. Since I already own two Kindle readers and a Kindle Fire I didnt want to spring for the Kindle Paperwhite. This was the next best option.
