Vekkia 64 Led Rechargeable Music Stand Light, Folding Clip On Piano Lamp, Portable Professional 5 Brightness×3 Color Temperature, Perfect for Grand Piano, Book Reading.

The nights are drawing in, the harvest festivals are beginning, typically in the evening......you try playing 'We plough fields and scatter' by the light of a noddy fluorescent strip that some church warden kindly erected 30+ years ago! Flippin nightmare!!Anticipating the familiar eye-strain this year, I was searching for a floor standing reading light and I happened upon this little beauty. I never knew such things existed. I tried it out yesterday and I am very very impressed.Positives:- no wires and so no need to find an electrical socket nearby- versatile; the photo doesn't do it justice but the music stand on the organ doesn't allow anything to be clamped to the top, this light was easily positioned further down the stand- effective; the light it provides is really bright without being blinding and I can easily read all the score- robust and secure; the clip is rubberised and very stable, there is nothing flimsy about it- portable; I wondered whether the ability to 'fold' the light might compromise the beam but this is not the case at all. I was able to carry the light easily and safely to the church and then pop it in my bag to take home again- no 'leakage'; the light is exactly where you need it and does not blind you or the congregation- very quick to charge for first useNegatives:These are not negatives as such but some things you might want to think about if you are considering it for a similar use.- the clip sticks out at an angle which it needs to do in order to fulfil its purpose, but if your music stand only has a narrow ledge then the clip could conceivably push out your music book to make it a bit unstable- length of the lighted area; I only realised once I had opened the package what 42led means (I know, didn't do my research!) - it means there are a total of 42 leds bulbs ergo the beam is only as long as 42 bulbs allow. This probably doesn't make any sense - it is totally fine for my purposes but if you are reading from e.g. 4 A4 sheets taped together, then it might not be quite big enough for your needs. Maybe do what I didn't do and read the product specification.I very rarely leave reviews, and then only when I feel sufficiently fired up or I think that someone else might come across my review and find it genuinely helpful.I will re-review this in a couple of months to see if time has deteriorated the product. In the meantime, 5 stars from me!Update 14.10.24I had drawn the wrong conclusion about the number of leds being related to the length/width of the light beam.Here is my conversation with the seller in case anyone else find it useful.My original question to the seller:How does the 42Led version compare to the 64Led version in terms of size? As it has 64Leds I was expecting the light fins to be wider but, according to the product information, both the 64Led version and the 42Led version appear to have the same dimensions.Their reply:The 64LED and 42LED head spread lengths are the same. The main difference is the lamp holder battery capacity and lumens.42LED: Battery capacity is 2500 mAhLumens: 13.1 lumens - 182.17 lumensColour temperature: Uniform 4019KBrightness duration: about 67 hours for the lowest brightness, about 5 hours for the highest brightness.64LED: Battery capacity is 4000 mAhLumen: mixed light 15.7-224.2 lumens, positive white light 18.1-255.4 lumens, warm light 16.8-239.4 lumensColour temperature: mixed light 4000K, positive white light 5700K, warm light 3000KLight duration: minimum brightness of about 100 hours, maximum brightness of about 6.5 hours

That's the best light I had in 25 years of being a professional musician.Battery 10/10Brightness 10/10Functionality 10/10Price for quality 10/10

Easy to fit on easel/stand, good lighting and easy to charge.

Excellent product. Very compact.

Nice product; illuminates the music very adequately.

Not tried it yet but looks ok.

Very practical and useful

Perfect - very bright (with various levels of adjustment to suit). I originally purchased a different product from another supplier which I returned, but this is exactly what I wanted
