I admit, i bought the Solis Light because it's the only Kindle light which looks great.
First impressions - The aluminium looks awesome.
They provide you with a single AAA battery, so you can get down to using it immediately.
Mounting - It really mounts on any part of your Kindle 3. When i'm sitting upright, i mount it on top. If i'm lying on my left, i mount it on the right side of the Kindle so it would stay on. (Not really rocket science, just mount it however it fits your usage)
To switch it on, slide the top part out about midway, and the light comes on.
This is much better than the usual button switches, because it doesn't get accidentally turned on when it's in your bag.
Now, here's what i love most: The top part is actually angled down, which prevents the LED light from getting you in the eye. But i have to emphasize that it's all about positioning. There's no noticeable glare when i use it. On rare occasions when there's a glare, i reposition the light and it's all okay.
The only 2 downsides - I would prefer it to have a tighter mount (just by a little). And it does cause the Kindle to be a little top-heavy.
Nonetheless, after purchasing the MightyBright and this, i'm going to give it 5 stars because form and function is really hard to come by. It's not perfect in the strictest sense, but the drawbacks are something i can definitely live with.

When I took it out of the packaging, I thought I'd found the perfect light for my K2. In every way EXCEPT one, it is the perfect light. The low profile is great, the simple on/off mechanism is great, and the mounting is great. The weak spot - the LED. It casts a faint, tinted glow towards the screen. It is enough to read with, but after having bright white LEDs from M-Edge and Belkin lights previously, this light is a candle compared to some of the others on the market. If you're looking for relatively dim, non-white lighting, this is the product for you. Me, I'll take the trade-off of a little glare from a brighter LED light for my reading.

The Octovo aluminum light for the newest generation Kindle is a really great product for anyone looking for a light that functions as great as it looks. First off, the all-aluminum body is very smooth and has a very classy look to it. It definitely exudes a certain higher sense of quality product than most of the other lights out there that are made out of plastic. Prior to my purchase of this light, I was using the Mighty Bright mini light (black) for my graphite Kindle. It worked ok, but I didn't like the fact that it uses the "button" style battery, which is harder to find and more expensive than a typical AA battery that the Octovo light uses. Also, the Might Bright mini has some issues with wiring (I purchased one and noticed that the light flickers if you bend the neck, and it even cuts out/turn off the light temporarily if you bend it just a certain way, so I exchanged it for another one, which does the exact same thing anyway, so it must just be a "design flaw"). But, with the quality look and quality material comes a "price". It IS heavier than the Mighty Bright mini light, giving the Kindle a slightly "top heavy" feel to it. That being said, it isn't too heavy to where it's uncomfortable to hold single handedly, so I wouldn't really consider it an issue unless you're someone who's very picky about this sort of thing (even with this light, the Kindle is still lighter feeling than the Nook anyway). The lighting on it is something else that others have made comments about on this particular light. I will just say that this light has a very great lighting to it. It's very balanced, with the light being just slightly brighter at the top of the page than at the bottom, but otherwise it flows VERY smoothly/evenly throughout the page, and even lights up the whole bottom of the Kindle (including the keyboard). It's also more of a "natural" light color wise, vs. the blueish tint that some of the other lights out there have, which makes it more like you're reading by a lamp light/outdoor lighting than the other ones (a nice little bonus in my opinion). I will say that as far as some concerns about the light "shining in your eyes" that this light is very well designed and doesn't really have that issue. If you hold it far enough at a down angle, the light does some-what shine in your eyes, but overall as long as you hold it mostly up-right, it isn't a problem. Overall, I would say that this is definitely one of the best looking lights out there, and also one of the best lights functionally speaking as well.

Clever Design; Optimized Glow and Angles
Key features of this lamp are that it casts almost all of its light upon the e-ink page and that the bulb is invisible in most reading postures. Read more

Great kindle light. Too bad it's discontinued.
This is a great kindle light. I also have a lighted cover for my KK but prefer this because it's much lighter to just clip to the top and reduces bulk and hand/arm fatigue. Read more
