FM Transmitter for Kindle 2 (Includes car power cable for Transmitter) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I wondered why this was priced so low and after trying it I can see why. You do get what you pay for in most cases. There were absolutely no instructions for this which I didn't think was a problem, it looked pretty straight-forward to me. I plugged it in to my car, tried adjusting the device to match an "empty" radio frequency and that was the first problem. There are only 4 choices and none of those seemed to be empty. I finally choose one and then plugged in my kindle (also tried my ipod and another mp3 player hoping it would work with something). All I got was static with a faint voice or song, depending on the device but after jiggling the plug a bit, finally had it working. I found I had to turn the radio way up for it to work well and everytime I rounded a corner or hit a bump, I lost the Kindle and the radio or static would blare out and deafen me.

SPOT LIGHT BELL Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This cute little light is made very poorly. I got one when I bought my new car. I liked how it was small and clipped anywhere, but the clip just breaks right at the hinge. BUT, I thought it was so cute, that I bought ANOTHER one. This one only lasted a week, clipped to my visor. I never even moved or used it ! It broke at the same exact spot as the first one. I will NOT buy anything else from this company.

Super 2 Dual Arm LED Music Stand Light with a Set of Batteries Included Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I found that this light is perfect for a music stand during a performance. Better yet it works great if you have a Kindle from Amazon. It attaches to the top of the Kindle and gives off enough light to see only using one of the arms. Being able to adjust the arms cuts any kind of glare that shows up. A GREAT BUY!!!

Mighty Bright Triple LED Stand Light: Silver Review

(More customer reviews)Not so bright after all. The GigLight is much brighter and provides much better coverage on the music stand.

Mighty Bright XtraFlex Duet Super LED Music Stand Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)A friend of mine got one of these as a Christmas present and I instantly wanted one. I got a decent price off an amazon store and it arrived in about 10 days. Other musicians I know have this light and they like it very much. With 3 alkaline AAA batteries the light will have a good "burn time" and being an LED the lamps are very durable. Both lamps are on long bendable necks and can be positioned all over the place. It really is a very nice "personal" stand light.

Mighty Bright AC Adapter for Triple L.E.D. Music Light Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Neither of the negative comments posted about this adapter are exactly fair.
The first, which mentions they received the incorrect model number, is a vendor issue (as opposed to a problem with the product itself) so should have been posted in the vendor ratings section.
The second review stating that the product is useless because it doesn't charge batteries is perhaps a bit "misguided." Although many common devices now a days use the type of AC adapters that charge batteries, by no means should one assume that ALL AC adapters charge batteries. A bit more research prior to purchase could have prevented this situation. Obviously this reviewer believed they were getting something different than what they actually purchased and ended up being disappointed.
I've owned this adapter for probably about a year now, and think it's great. I went through three other brands of book lights and their AC adapters and was always having to send them back under warranty, paying shipping ever time. (Doesn't make much sense to pay for all those shipping costs since the book lights themselves are only $20 - $30 items.) My Might Bright book light and adapter are going strong and I use them for hours everyday. I'm so happy to have found a reliable book light and adapter!
It is true however that the instructions state to take the batteries out when using AC power, so if doing that isn't going to work out with how you'll be using the book light, you might want to look into another alternative. Personally, considering everything I went through with the other brands' mechanical failures, I'd rather buy two of these ... one to leave plugged in on the nightstand, and one to use with batteries for mobility. I don't find the battery door hard to remove, but if I had to swap between battery and AC on a daily basis, I'd probably just get two for the convenience.
Anyway ... in my opinion this adapter is a well-made, reliable product.

Mighty Bright Triple LED Music Stand Light (Black With Batteries) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The light is considerably brighter than a single-lamp gooseneck and comes with its own "gig bag," but the added brightness proved inadequate to the task of peering over the top of a Manhasset stand and illuminating a score. In fact, I couldn't keep the light from shining in my eyes, making it more--not less--difficult to read the music. Unfortunate, since the design (it telescopes into a trim-looking jacknife-size device and has an extremely generous-sized clip) is well thought out. But before the first number was concluded, I was borrowing an electrical lamp. These portable, battery-operated lights are occasionally useful for reading a book, but I have yet to find one that can make good on its claims to light a music stand.
[I'll give it a 4th star because looking at it the next day I can't understand why I had difficulty making it focus on the music. Perhaps I didn't have it fully extended.]

Mighty Bright 53510 Orchestra Light, with Adapter and Bag Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)For a long time, the stand light with the long incandescent bulb has been the de facto standard. Unfortunately they're power hungry (forget running them on batteries), hot, and the bulbs burn out easily, especially if jostled when hot. Finally, the hinges get loose after a while, and few things are more annoying on a gig than a droopy stand light.
This light eliminates all of the negatives of the traditional stand light, while retaining its wide coverage and bright light. The color is on the cool side (it's distinctly blue-violet) but not enough to mess with color perception if you are one to use highlighters or other color markings on your music. It's lightweight. It will run on batteries or from AC. Nicest of all, it is completely cool to the touch and won't burn out from being bumped.
While it may initially appear to be expensive, it is far superior to the cheaper offerings and includes the bag, adapter, and one set of batteries. If you figure the adapter is worth ten bucks, and realize it has NINE white LEDs, the price suddenly seems reasonable. The adapter is also small and won't block sockets on your power strip.
As another reviewer noted, you cannot run it from the adapter with the batteries in. What may not be obvious is that you do not need to pull all three batteries out -- removing any one of the three will break the circuit just as effectively as removing all three. The only other potential drawback of this light is that it has a very wide coverage angle, enough that it may light more than you want lit... like your feet! Since it runs cool, you can tape on a paper hood and not worry about setting it on fire or melting the tape.

Mighty Bright XtraFlex Duet Super LED Music Stand Light Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have gone through a long series of music stand lights over the last 30 years or so, always trying to find a 'better mousetrap'. I desired a small, lightweight illuminating device that could run without needing to be plugged in and would still take up a minimum of space in my instrument case(s).
My latest is the new XtraFlex Duet lamp from Mighty Bright, a company with lots of different models. The Duet is the dual lamp version of the regular XtraFlex lamp, being identical except for the extra light emitting head.
The base unit is just big enough to hold the battery comprised of three AAA alkaline cells, plus the spring clip mechanism that grabs onto your music stand, music folder, or book. Extending from the top are two narrow goosenecks that terminate in penny-sized LED heads, one super-bright white LED per head. Each head also has an on/off switch and a lens that distributes the LED light over a wide area of about the size of a normal page of music. The goosenecks are flexible enough to allow them to be easily wrapped around the base unit for storage, yet firm enough to support the weight of the LED heads in whatever position you place them.
Having a separate power switch for each head is a nice touch, because if you only need light from one head you can turn the other one off to save battery life. However, I suspect that Mighty Bright just put two gooseneck/head assemblies on a single base unit and shrugged their collective shoulders when they discovered this meant having two power switches. Hard to be sure, but it's the results that count in this case.
Battery life is good, since by my calculations and experiences with other AAA powered LED lamps, you should be able to get quite a few hours out of a battery set.
Brightness is not overwhelming, but is certainly adequate to make pages of music easily legible in even the darkest orchestra pits.
I find that this lamp does a better job of lighting a pair of side-by-side pages than my previous Mighty Bright lamp, the Mighty Bright Triple LED Music Stand Light, which was larger, heavier, could not reach over tall music as well, and was generally less flexible in different situations.
I would rate this lamp 5 stars, except for the slightly lower than desired build quality---professionals would like to see a device that is just a bit less typical-Chinese-plastic......for example, a pro who uses a lamp frequently, or a church that uses them twice a week for hand bell choir rehearsals and services (for example), might expect to change batteries often enough that they would appreciate beefed up version.
Still, a very nice lamp fairly priced at about $20.
