I've had this light for almost six months now, and I absolutely love it! It gives off a great and even amount of light (on the cooler side of the spectrum, but not horribly so), wide enough to use for music books without being a distraction to audiences in performances. (It also has a hood along the lower edge of the light to help shield the light from audiences, and that also works well.) It has a decently strong clip as well, so I've never had any issues with the grip slipping on my stand. The battery life is wonderful even when I have the light on the high setting (which I often do, because my eyesight is terrible). I have now used this light to play three multi-weekend musical productions, and it easily gets me through entire tech-week rehearsals and shows (about 3-5 hours each) without me having to plug it in. This is a good thing, because the cord for this charger is NOT long enough to have it plugged in while using it on your stand. So I just make sure I take it home and charge it between rehearsals/shows, and I'm good to go. Bright side: in a pit orchestra, it's one less cable to potentially trip over! The charger has a strange little happy-face light on the side of it as a status indicator of charge--red when it's still charging, and green once it's fully charged. Depending on who you ask, it's either adorable or creepy, but either way it's definitely useful. And it's also saved my butt when I plugged it into a power strip at a venue and the complete lack of light on that charger told me the power to the strip was in fact cut off. My only complaint about the charger is that the fit of the cable into the base of the light is kind of loose after using it a few times, but as long as I make sure there's no strain on the cord between the charger and the light when I go to charge it, I don't have any problems. Overall, this is a fantastic product, and well worth the price I paid for it (which was about $20 less than what I would've had to pay for the Mighty Bright that I had almost bought instead). I am a happy customer! Read more
Buy this if you’re a singer!!! I sing at church and the light is horrible on a good day. This light holds on my music stand and I don’t need reading glasses to make out the notes because I now have great lighting! Just the right size, not too big (although the picture makes it look like it). A violinist recommended this to me after a wedding we played for and I’m so grateful for the recommendation Read more
The media could not be loaded. This light works perfectly on my piano! I use the brightest setting but appreciate the lower-light option being available. A single charge lasts for several practice sessions, and the light recharges quickly as needed. It’s simple, slim and attractive. The light stays cool, even during protracted use. Read more
Brilliant illumination. Works excellently at my church. Read more
This is a great music stand light. PROS: Fast shipping: I had to order one quickly because we were told in our orchestra that the stage lighting may be insufficient. I ordered this and within a couple of days I received it in time for the concert later that week. Super Bright White LEDs: On stage when I turned it on, the player next to me showed surprised at how bright the light was. I had no trouble seeing my music at all while others who were using smaller battery operated, rechargeable lights didn't seem to be having as easy as a time. The LEDs are WHITE. Adjustable brightness setting: There is a button on top of the base that clips to your stand. That button turns the light on/off as well as includes a dimmer. Long charge: The charge lasts a very long time and when it's plugged in to charge up, you can still use the light. Now I'm using this at home in my practice studio as well so I don't have to have the main large light on. CONS: -The base where the recharge cord is plugged into is larger than I expected it to be and the goose neck is longer (sits higher) than I expected over the stand. However with just a bit of adjusting, I was able to see above the light to the conductor without it getting in the way of page turns. Read more
I am an educated consumer and do my homework before purchasing. I read the reviews and shop around. I bought this lamp in September 2019 but decided to wait at least half a year before reaching any conclusions. It is now nine months later and I am happy to report that I have no criticisms, whatsoever. I considered the bigger and more expensive models, but focused on the following (in no particular order): • Reasonable price; • Cordless (comes with detachable cord and charger); • Rechargeable (uses lithium rechargeable battery that recharges via USB-adapter like what you use for the iPhone cord); • Long lasting; • Bright light that doesn’t add color; • Portable and lightweight; • Adjustable; • Padded so that it wouldn’t harm the music stand on my piano; • Easy to use. I read the negative reviews, too, which in this case seem to relate to individual issues having nothing to do with the overall product. I often play my piano in the evenings with very little ambient light, for a particular kind of mood; without a music stand light, it would be virtually impossible for me to be able to read the music in front of me with my 64-year old eyes. But, I did not want a big light; on the contrary, I wanted something that would illuminate only the music on the music stand (not the rest of the room). This lamp does everything I had hoped for and has been 100% reliable. Bottom line? At $16, this light is not just a bargain, it is unbeatable. Read more
