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!!!

Lotus Light by Lotus Design: Rechargeable 9 LED Music Stand Light Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This light, by Lotus Design has been updated and now has 17 LED's instead of 9 in the same form factor. See it at [...].
I was looking for a rechargeable battery powered music stand light. At age 45, my eyes have begun to need more light (in addition to my reading glasses) in order to see printed music clearly. I've seen and tried several different portable designs. What I like about this one is that it uses a Lithium Ion battery so you can recharge it at any time without worrying about first fully discharging it. Also, it reaches a full charge in about 2 hours yet lasts at medium power (with NO dimming and ample brightness) for 5 hours - plenty for even the longest overtime gig. In a pinch, it can also run directly off the included AC adapter.
The 17 super-bright LED's provide plenty of bright white light to cover 2 pages across a stand and even 3 pages can be lit adequately.
The only thing I'm not crazy about is the exposed IC board holding the LED's inside the shade. It seems that a lens or diffuser of some sort would provide some protection for this. I haven't had it for very long but I anticipate that the unit will need to be carefully packed inside my gig bag when not in use or this part of the unit could become damaged.
Some nice features of this unit are that: it includes a 10" gooseneck that allows you to adjust the light to any position you might need on a music stand; the base unit has LED's to indicate that the unit is charging or that it has reached a full charge; it includes a lightweight carry bag for the unit. When you remove the stand clip, the entire unit can be made flat for storage inside the bag. Finally, the light is a bit costly. I found it for $99 including shipping. This might seem steep at first, but some other rechargeable LED lights out there run $40 - $60 and do not include the rechargeable batteries nor the A/C adapter. This is the nicest package in this category of light that I have found.
Update: After using this light for a year now, my concerns about it holding up have proven to be unfounded. The light works great and has held up perfectly. It's the brightest, whitest light on the bandstand at every gig and everybody that see it wants to get one for themselves. I'm very happy with my 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.

Lampcraft GigLight LED Compact Music Light (Standard) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This light puts out a TON of light. So much so you don't want to look directly into it if it's turned on. I've been using mine for about a year now and everyone who sees it wants one. It's so much easier than old fashioned stand lights that plug in and useful in places where there is little to no electricity available.
It fully lights up two sheets of music and the arm makes it totally adjustable. It folds up nice and small and fits in my overcrowded case.

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.
