Manhasset 1050

Manhasset LED Lamp II

Manhasset replaced their rechargeable model 1050 with the 1060, also known as LED Lamp II, which removes the rechargeable capability and uses three AA batteries instead. Designed by Manhasset to fit their stands, this light is priced affordably. Two clips provide excellent stability, but do not accommodate stand desks any …

Manhasset 1000

Manhasset 1000

This wall-powered light has been one of the two standard music lights for musicians for decades. With a recent design update, there is now plenty of clearance for tall parts or music folders to turn beneath the light. Unlike its competitor’s light, however, the elegant cylindrical design limits the amount …

Grover/Trophy BLS1

Grover/Trophy BLS1

Because of its durable aluminum construction, 40-watt bulb, and decent light pattern, this light has been the workhorse in professional groups for years. But there are better choices today.

Mighty Bright Orchestra

Mighty Bright Orchestra

The Mighty Bright Orchestra attaches with a single clip which also contains the batteries. We found that when centered, the battery pack interferes with the Manhasset music stand and needs to be shifted left or right to prevent rocking. Once there, the clip holds the light securely. Plastic lenses focus …

Mighty Bright BrightFlex

Mighty Bright BrightFlex

With a run-time of 8 hours on full-brightness, the BrightFlex is Mighty Bright’s top choice for musicians. The single clip is designed for both music stands and books. The tradeoff means that on many music stands, the light has difficulty staying vertical. However on the classic Manhasset music stand, the …
