Accessories Reading Light

tcud03 · 03-16-2010, 08:46 PM

I looked around for a while for an affordable reading light that was slim, bright, and could be easily used with my kindle or any other book. I found this light and have been using it for a little while now and I must say, it is excellent. Plus free shipping (it comes from Hong Kong so the shipping took a little while but you can't complain with that price). I hope you guys find this useful for your kindle/reader. (p.s. there is some awesome stuff on that site and it's all free shipping.)

edit: for those that want a rechargeable light, you can get lir2032's instead of cr2032's and recharge those. The price is still pretty dang cheap even with the cost of rechargeable cr2032's. just my 2 cents.

that looks awesome and useful.

I've ordered this one for my Nook and it is excellent.

This one really gives you diffused light with even light distribution, no hot spot!.

Highly recommended.

...and it arrived today... Definitely a good and cheap little unit... Wonder how long the cover for the light will last? Feels like paper..

New octovo reading light just came out. Check it out.

The best light I have ever found was a very cheap one at a discount outlet. It lights up the whole page and cost $6!

rollercoaster · 04-09-2010, 12:41 AM

What kind of run time do you get with it?

I have been looking for one too and tried a few. I like this one because it uses 3 x AA batteries and runs really really long. the cool thing is I love to walk and read so I just put that light in my front shirt pocket and it illuminates very well. Might look weird at first though

havent tried one of the clip on ones but want to. Any clip on ones available on Indian sites?

Looks pretty slick. Here's a link to it-- http://www.octostyle.com/product.aspx?cid=64&pid=22.

Anyone get one of these yet? If so, does it light up things adequately? It's not clear to me if it has an incandescent or LED lamp. I'd guess LED.

I just received the Octovo Solis light for the K2 yesterday and it is indeed very slick! Well-designed, very small, one LED and it takes one AA battery (included). There is no on/off switch as the light comes on when the "arm" is swung out 90° from the unit, in position for reading. It fits perfectly and securely. The light coverage is adequate for the K2, but a bit limited if used on a DX. I've tried the Mighty Bright Flex2 and the Kandle as well and, so far, the Solis has become my favorite light.

Oh - one more thing I noticed. The color temperature of the Solis is more natural than that of the Kandle, which appears cooler, or blue-ish in comparison. One can easily read using the Solis without annoying anyone in close proximity.

Hi everyone

If you got a reader with a larger screen like the Kindle DX in my opinion the kandle light will be more usefull, since it has two leds, so the light that comes out is much broader. I mount my Kandle mostly on the left side of the Kindle instead of the top so it illuminates the screen well from the top to the bottom.

The other good thing about the kandle light is the sturdy grip without harming the device.

The downside are the CR-2032 batteries it consumes, well so far it's still the first set of batteries. They say they will hold for up to 100 hours of reading, we will see that.

And, i like blue-ish light

Octovo is also a great light
but nice overall design

I just received the Belkin Clip-on Reading light for Kindle. But I use for my Sony PRS600. The light has 3 Leds and 3 AAA batteries. The light is spreading out widely and can be adjusted to avoid reflections.
