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.
- 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 (see Customer Images). I got stuck using this lamp once, and wound up bending the metal frame by hand to redirect more of the light onto the music.
- 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.
 Sturdy but not adjustable December 15, 2004

This lamp is made of sturdy black metal, and it clips onto the top of the stand securely. (Unless you're using a Wenger plastic music stand, or a stand with a rolled top edge, in which case this light won't fit on the stand at all.)
The problem is that the light is not adjustable and the bulb throws light only on the top three inches of the music! That's why I have decided to use a metal clip-on light in the future. It's not available from Amazon, but it is adjustable, it lights the whole page, and it will clip onto any brand of stand.
