Can’t use your tablet and page-turner pedal in the orchestra pit? Finding the best music stand light seems like an easy thing. But don’t waste money buying one that will not fit your needs as a musician. Things that you need to watch out for are:
- The weight of the light is important for two reasons. First of all your music stand needs to hold it. Secondly, sometimes the light head can start moving down out of place if it’s too heavy.
- The clip-on mechanism is important because larger clips will not work with wired music stands.
- The type and amount of lights are important depending on how much light you need. Too many lights might be overkill. But too few and you end up not seeing the score properly.
- How it’s powered is not something to forget. if you don’t want to worry about batteries, you either buy one that has an adapter or that is rechargeable.
