Does it cast wide enough light for use above piano music?

I think it would. I use it to study and it lights up most of my desk space.

In my opinion this lamp is bright, but its not bright enough to cast wide enough light if you are playing on a grand piano. If its an upright or a smaller piano, then the lamp may suit your needs.

Yes it should be fine. I use it to illuminate my audio/visual equipment in a home theater room. It's bright enough but not obnoxious. Good luck

Yes and very well. It's the reason I bought it. It works well on my old upright piano and would be fine for a spinet. Also, since I couldn't find a 60 watt bulb of the specified kind, I found 40 watt does just fine.

I don't know how much light you would need for the keyboard of a piano, I have been using this as a task lamp on my desk. It is an elegant lamp, well made, and as far as flexibility is concerned, the top part bend enough and offers good lighting for desk tasks. Hope this helps.

This is what we bought this light for and it works great. And looks great setting on our piano.

yes, but it will not articulate far enough to point up towards the ceiling. it should work fine for aiming light at an artwork that hangs on a wall.

the light which, by the way is VERY good is designed to be clipped onto something ( music stand, cabinet edge, etc. ). You would need to have something flat and 'weighty' to clip it onto to have it stand up

I would use it for drawing and it will illuminate whatever is right under it quite well but I don't think it would be optimal for working on a surface that is larger than say 2 ft wide. As for color accuracy, the light is pretty close to natural sunlight.

Yes definitely. We have ours on a dimmer, it does get bright when up all the way.

I doubt if you would be happy with this light on a picture that large. The light is only 9 inches long, and not terribly bright, so centering the light on a picture that wide is probably asking too much.

I am not sure. I was not happy with it at all. The lights are not bright enough to see more that 2 feet in front of you. Sometimes it would not even come on with the highest setting.

Not sure what to say. My initial reaction would be that's it's too high. I don't see it working with an upright. If you're talking about a keyboard or a grand then perhaps. Take into account the size of the base. I would think it would be too bright. It's an excellent light. I use them constantly. But I don't think I would buy it to use with a piano. Sorry I can't be more definite. Does Softech have a website that could offer more info?

The lamp extends 7" beyond the base, is that enough for you? This lamp lights up my keyboard nicely as I type this.

Yes, I believe it would. I tried it out on my grand piano. The geometry is such that only half of the illumination arm was over the music, but that was adequate. I believe use on an upright may be even better

It can be on continuously, Not sure of how far the light goes as we were in partial light. It certainly lit up the area around our main puppet singer.

Yes, There is a lot of light with this unit and some times it is too bright. The down side to the unit is that it does not have any support other then the "USB socket". (don't bump into it or try to maneuver it without supporting the socket). I put a rubber base on it to allow it to touch the desk when plugged in for support of the socket and have had no issues.

Of course. Just make sure the light is pointed out to whatever is behind you for maximum visibility. You don't want it aimed at an upward or downward position.
