I got 7 days on my first battery cycle and 8 days on the second cycle. I'm now on my third cycle being measured by session minutes in an Excel Spreadsheet.
If the light had been on all the time, it would have expended its energy in one or two days if it really draws high energy. From what I have seen in promos by Amazon, the light uses very little energy in any event since it uses LED bulbs. Thus, even if it was on all the time, it would not have made a material difference either way.
I also leave WiFi on all the time and use Page Refresh. Both of those settings use more energy than if they were off.
However, I notice that GSam Battery Monitor for my Fire 1st Gen just reset their formula for measuring WiFi energy usage. I leave WiFi on all the time there as well. It shows that the Screen uses 82% of battery energy, WiFi uses just 1.7% and all my other Apps use 12%. Thus, even WiFi is not as much an energy waster as I had thought in the past. Held Awake Android Apps use 4% there.
It is ironic that I've seen no posts from anyone in this Forum which mentioned the screen with large icons showing a large almost discharged battery, a wire and a lightning bolt apparently standing for current.
Most folks must be recharging much earlier than the appearance of this unique screen since i have not seen one other post here mentioning it.
