Manhasset MH10001 Stand Lamp

Pros:

- Wide and strong frame blocks the light from the audience.

- Standard music folder fits on music shelf with this light attached.

- Accepts a wide variety of incandescent bulbs, such as tubular showcase bulbs from 20 to 60 watts, or the small-bodied compact florescent bulbs such as the&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Feit-Electric-ESL13T-D-13-Watt-Compact-Fluorescent-Mini-Twist-Bulb-60-Watt-Incandescent-Equivalent-Daylight/dp/B000LWMSG6/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Feit Electric ESL13T/D 13-Watt Compact Fluorescent Mini Twist Bulb (60-Watt Incandescent Equivalent), Daylight</a>.

- Not expensive.

Cons:

- This lamp is not adjustable in any way, and the factory-set angle is inexplicably aimed at the upper part of the music shelf .  Using a 60-watt tube light helps, but the bottom part of the music still isn't well lit.  I got stuck using this lamp on a gig once, and wound up bending the lamp's sheet metal frame by hand to redirect more light onto the lower half of the music.  If you don't mind bending your own lamp, the light will then be OK.

- It doesn't fold, so it takes up too much space in a gig bag - assuming you carry it with you.

- Only fits metal stands without a rolled steel top, such as the Manhasset.  So, if you take it with you to a gig that has non-Manhasset-type stands, it won't fit.

Summary:

Manhasset should make this product with an adjustable lamp angle.  At the very least, the light should be redirected to the middle of the music shelf.
