Would this work well for a light to go on the piano to help light the music?

I just put it on our's and it does light ip well. The shade gets hot with the bulbs that are made for them.
1032323
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.

You can't leave the light on for any length of time with a conventional incandescent light (the old-fashioned light bulbs) because of the heat generated--it will blister the shade. I guess you could try one of the CFL or LED bulbs which generate way less heat. Why don't you buy one of the banker's lamps with the glass shades, they are about the same price, come in green and amber shades, and you can run any type of bulb--that is what I finally had to do, get a replacement shade for my old lamp and send this normandie one back because it blistered--it was a fire hazard.

This is basically an accent light. You are also limited to what type bulbs you can use due to the heat of the bulb. Very nice looking lamp but not very practical.

I think it would do a good job. Although I use it on my desk, I can imagine that the fact that it "overhangs" slightly would be exactly what you're looking for. And if you don't like it, you can always return it.

A qualified probably yes. The light's clip is wide and strong; the center piece of the music stand looks somewhat narrower. I'd use a piece of gaffer's tape just to keep things totally secure, especially if I was moving music and folders on and off the stand. You might be able to use the light's clip to hold some music in place!

Ehhh. Plug it in and see what happens? I don't think you would hurt anything. It wouldn't work the way a piano's sustain pedal works, but maybe you'll like the way it sounds. Or not.

I see no reason that it would not work. It can be easily adjusted to put light where you need it. You may use up a lot of batteries if you use this area frequently.

Yes. Any movement will trigger it, but the light will not stay on very long.

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.

I couldn't tell, as I only bought it to tune an old piano that I bought, It was fine for that. Sorry I could not be more helpful. Geoff

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?

yes !! just make sure the piano has the same connection. now if you to close to the piano ill make a loud noise so you have to be away from the piano to work!

I would suspect it wouldn't work very well as one of the triggers is ambient light. If the room in general is bright and/or warm enough it wouldn't turn on. It's inexpensive enough to experiment though and you can always put it in your closet to find your shoes...

That should work. It is a generic MIDI adapter, and the hardware emulates a more popular brand name controller that most lighting software should have support for

yes - there is an on/off switch that it lights up when turned on, regardless of whether music is playing.

No I do not think this light would work well for that. It is bright but only for a small circle area under its top. The light doesn't project well. I think you would be straining your eyes.
2263367
Yes. That's what we were using it for. That being said, the light this thing kicks out is harsh....really harsh to the point of hurting your eyes as you read the notes. It's value is in it's portability. It's much better as an emergency source of light than something to read music by.

It could be, but you will need to be careful about reflections off of back walls, etc. that could muddy the sound. If there are heavy drapes or sound absorbing panels behind the piano, then it might work OK. Shotgun mikes also are not the best for music. They are designed for speech. If you can get a mike near or into the piano with a long cord or wireless mike, you would do better. It is always a good idea to preview the site, if you can.

Yes. I am a Dj and was looking for something small and that could light up my equipment and it works well...

We never used the music function, just the lighting. We do suggest plugging into an outlet instead of batteries though. Wish my answer could have helped more.
