Music stand lights

The 'Harpgear Giglight'

  »  A purpose-built music stand light
  »  For its compactness, light output, battery life, and price, this light is a winner!
  »  Its single, intensely bright LED emits full-spectrum, white light
  »  LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) are extremely energy efficient
  »  LEDs will last for up to 50,000 hours.  That's equivalent to running continuously for about 5 years!
  »  It's so bright that it only needs the one LED - enough to light up a full score
  »  The LED arm unfolds, and can be easily adjusted to a working position, without 'spilling' much light where it isn't needed
  »  The 4 AA alkaline batteries (supplied) will last up to 8 hours
  »  Using 4 AA rechargeable batteries (not supplied), it will last up to 6 hours
  »  When not in use, it folds up into a compact pouch (supplied)

Weight

  »  With batteries and pouch - 220gm, or about 8oz

Dimensions (in pouch)

  »  170mm x 70mm x 40mm, or about 6.5" x 3" x 1.5"

Comparisons with other lights

  »  We have tested and rejected many portable music stand lights over the last 14 years
  »  Lights with filament bulbs (usually 3 volt) offer feeble light - little more than a candle
  »  Brighter filaments quickly run down your batteries, unless the bulb burns out first
  »  We have tested a widely-available LED light with a double gooseneck.  It emits light with an undesirable blue cast.  Although its name suggests a 'really bright' light, we estimate it is only 60% as bright as the Harpgear Giglight.  The single gooseneck version is completely inadequate for music.  Both versions are best described as cheap, book-reading lights
  »  The same brand offers another light with a telescopic arm and 3 LEDs.  It emits a nice, slightly yellow light, but also only 60% the brightness of the Harpgear Giglight's single LED
  »  Finally, we have tried an excellent 8-LED light, made in the USA.  It also emits a slightly blue cast.  It roughly equals the light output of the Harpgear Giglight, but is much bigger, heavier and more expensive
