Harvey,

I am very interested in your review of the light.  It apparently has only one LED, is not fully adjustable (other than the arm swinging out) and, from a CNET video, it doesn't appear to be bright enough to cover the entire display.  Please let us know whether or not this is the case.   Smiley

Harvey did a review of the light on its own thread.  I don't have a link to it right now.

I ordered the black cover for the K3.  Estimated delivery is July 6th thorugh 11th.   Amazon had a special offer that the light was free with the purchase.    I will post about the cover when it arrives.   I don't need a light very often but will try and see how it works.   I won't have much to compare the light to though.  I have a lighted cover but haven't really used the light.
