On both of the Oasis that I have the most comfortable light setting number is the same as my Voyage and Paperwhites. The light cones are visible with the proper light settings in the ambient conditions in which I read. It is in low light conditions that they are most noticeable. They are not as visible over the text as my Paperwhites, but they are distracting bring in the margin of every line you read rather than the bottom.
After reading for several hours in a variety of light conditions, I am leaning towards keeping the second one with a pinhole rather than the first one with an extra-bright light in the corner which made an exaggerated light / shadow pattern compared to the typical pattern.
I realize that this effect is due to the design, and I am more sensitive to seeing color gradients and lighting differences that don't bother others. I am just disappointed because I expected the lighting to be similar to my Voyage or better since it is the next generation.
