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.
