Touch Book light for naked Nook Touch?

Ryvyan · 08-16-2011, 01:36 PM

I have been searching for a decent book light that clips onto a naked Nook Touch, but no results have yielded that seems to scream "securely". I'd like one that:
a) makes use of the depressed bevel at the back,
b) shines brightly without flickering and over a decent area,
c) is not too heavy (max 1 AAA battery size),
c) and is relatively resistant to abuse.

I quite like the design of the Kandle but it doesn't seem like it would clip on securely and the lighting for bottom part of screen seems to be an issue.

I also quite like Mighty Bright Travelflex but no pictures or comments told of how secure the clip is.

I'm quite confused about the Lyca light under B&N because of all the information. Is it secure or not? Is it bright or not? Is it too heavy?

Right now I'm using a $1 book light which I expect to last 2 weeks, so would welcome all suggestions!

I bought this for my NookClassic and it didnt work great, but its PERFECT for my STR. i clip it to the top on the left (i hold the STR with my right hand). It uses a button battery so its really light. i bought a lot of like 50 of the button batteries from amazon for ~10 dollars.

I have a Kandle and it clips perfectly and securely to my nook Touch (with or without a case.) I'm not sure how much security you're talking about, do you need to hold the book by the light? The Lyra clip is a little tighter, but both clip securely to the nook body and don't move around.
I find the Kandle has better, more even light than regular "spot" style book lights. I have the Lyra light and don't like it, too much glare and the light isn't even. Two big thumbs up to the Kandle. The only thing I've used that's better was the Lightwedge for my old Sony. Too bad those won't work with the nook touch . . .
Also, I've had my Kandle for over a year and it still works perfectly. Because it has two bulbs, though, it tends to go through batteries a little faster than a light that takes AAAs (it takes 2032 size "coin" batteries). The flip side of that is it's quite a bit more compact and lightweight.

The stock B&N Lyra light clips OK above the top right pageturn button. It is a little tricky to get clipped on 100% secure though (tends to slip if you don't have it secure all of the way).

You've probably already purchased one, but I too wanted to vote for the linked Lyra Nook light. I clip mine to the top over the power button and it works fine (the clip goes past around the power button so it doesn't cause any problems). I use the light almost every night in bed. It does the job and is very light. A good light overall.

Thanks guys, I got confused with all the choices and the $1 booklight I got is working fine so I'm sticking with it for now.
