Best Music Stand Light for Brass Banders
Adequate illumination is essential so you can concentrate on playing – not trying to see! The best music stand light is simply one that clearly lights up the dots and clips easily to the stand.
If like me you are over the optical hill seeing the dots on the music sheet can be a real challenge. It gets worse when the lighting is low or there’s that insipid strip lighting that a lot of bandrooms have.
Here are 5 top rated music stand clip on lights for you to consider…

So which is the Best Music Stand Light For You?
The featured lights are all basically the same as the clip onto the stand and provide light! The choice can be influenced by the type of music that you are looking at and how your eyes react in different lighting levels.
If you want an even spread of light over the dots either the Mugig Music stand Light has the edge and folds up neatly for carrying.
If you need to constantly alter your lighting, such as from full page to march card or hymn book a more flexible lighting unit may be the favoured choice. We would recommend the 4 LED Book Light, Ipow Rechargeable Music Stand Light Lamp as it is highly flexible, with good lamp duration and a rechargeable battery.
