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.
