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

I have not tried another so I have nothing to to compare it with but 5 star it is not. A $20 flashlight, really? I own a kindle paperwhite and bought this for my wifes old original kindle. It would have been an better investment to buy her a paperwhite and transfer her library to it. It works OK except when reading in a totally dark room towards the last line or two at the bottom of the screen; especially noticeable when using the dictionary feature with its tiny font. It has two brightness settings but the 2nd one disturbs my spouse. The spring clip is very strong but the slick pads against the slick case of the kindle makes for a slippery connection and it moves about with little prodding. Where it shines (no pun intended) is when reading in a dimly lit room.

I bought this for the Kindle DX I bought due to my fear that Amazon will never produce a Paperwhite version of it. This light is nice in that it is small and compact. I have a Mighty Bright light, but it takes up more room in my briefcase due to its flexible stalk for the light. However, the Kandle is not quite bright enough for the Kindle DX. Its adequate, though, so I am sticking with it because it is compact.

Im really impressed with the way this little book light illuminates the screen of the Kindle. The three white LEDs distribute the light very evenly, and, while its a tiny bit brighter near the light source, there is no glare off the Kindles screen whatsoever, which is perfect for nocturnal reading. This light has two power settings, although there isnt much difference in brightness between the two. The lowest setting is more than adequate for situations in which a book light is needed. The light is compact and lightweight, and doesnt really affect the readability of the Kindle. Holding the Kindle with the light attached is still well balanced. My only issue, if it can be called that, is that the back clip could be a half inch or so longer to accommodate the beveled edges of the back of the Kindle. As it is, the light doesnt feel as though its clipped on as securely as it could be. Thats just a nit, however. The best workaround for this issue is to not toss your Kindle around. Otherwise, this light is an absolute joy to use. If youre on the fence about which book light to buy, you should definitely consider this one.

This product is way too bright for nighttime reading. I applaud the attempt to have two different brightness settings. However, as is, the low setting is too bright and destroys your night vision. Ive tempered the brightness with a piece of scotch tape over the glass that has been darkened with black magic marker. Additionally, the clip isnt very stable. The clip isnt deep enough to find sufficient purchase on the back of my Kindle. It only grabs a few millimeters of the flat back. The slightest shake will loosen the Kandle from my Kindle. Realistically, the clip needs to be an inch longer or be curved similar to the back curve of the Kindles edge. It needs more surface area or friction in contact between devices. With these issues, though, Im still somewhat pleased with the purchase. Ill continue modifying it to achieve the desired nighttime lumens. Ill next try wiring in three microswitches to disconnect each of the 3 LEDs one at a time.

Nice book light. It puts out plenty of light for reading, I think both the semi-bright and full bright work well in poorly lit reading areas. The only complaint I have is that the reading light is a little loose on my Kindle. While adjusting the light if its not held firmly, the whole thing kind of moves around but once youve got everything the way you want it, it stays put.

Because of all the issues I have read about and heard about with the lighted Kindle covers I refused to buy one. However most of my reading is done at night so I needed a light. I bought several different lights in the three weeks I have owned my Kindle and none of them worked the way I wanted. They didnt light the whole page, they had a horrible glare, they got in the way of my reading, they burned out quickly and so on. The Kandle on the other hand is PERFECT!!!! I can angle the light, it clips on without being in the way, there is no horrible glare,and best of all the light stays on the Kindle and not all over the room so I can read in bed and not disturb my husband. It also works great on regular books as my husband was using it the other day while reading. He also found that it is the perfect light to use in dark places with instruction manuals. I love the Kandle as it fits perfectly inside my neoprene cases zipper pocket when I do not need it. Plus the fact that for the price it also comes with batteries, an extra set of batteries and a screw driver for the battery compartment. Plus to order replacement batteries is only $5 for 25 batteries...that is a steal compared to the other lights I have purchased. I have used this light for a total of 49.5 hours so far and it is still just as bright as the day it arrived. Another benefit is that there are two light settings..bright and brighter so I can adjust it to fit my needs and neither one produces a glare. This light makes my Kindle experience even better!

I use my Kindle a lot so when I wanted a light, I wanted one that would light the whole page, clip on easily and stay put when adjusted. So far, the Kandle II has met all my expectations. Not sure about the battery life. Ive only used it a few times but seems to be ok. I love the fact that it has 3 led lights and is wide enough to cover the whole page. It has 2 adjustments and 2 light settings which is nice for different seating positions. My only con is that it covers the on/off button on the top(I have a Kindle II), so I have to unclip it to do so, which means I forget to turn it off. But thats more of a me problem so I still love this light!

Watched the product review about the light and gave it a try. Glad I did! It is everything that the reviewer said it would be. Havent used the hi setting on the light since there is no need. The first setting is plenty bright enough and it covers the whole reading area of my kindle keyboard. I have tried so many other goose-neck clip on lights before for the kindle and they have always had a shadow and limited spray of light. Plus the clip on has always been rather bulky with the cover on. When the Kandle is clipped on there is no bulkiness protruding out by the cover being attached. The handy travel pouch is a cool feature as well. Small and compact enough to stash in my purse. A valuable tool to have when I wait in the car, reading at night, during my boys boy scout meetings.

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.

This is my second candle book light, and I absolutely love them BUT while they’re some minor improvements there’s a problem with the battery compartment and cover !! Obviously since this is the second one I have the correct ones, and know the procedure. But the two batteries have a little bit of spring loaded action going on and it is nijgh on to impossible to close the cover. A lot disappointing because the oid unit has a switch or something and either flickers if it comes on. But it is old and I give it 5 stars….nothing lasts forever. But duct tape on my brand new unit. Sure, I could return it but it’s a design flaw.
