I need a light to read sheet music or 81/2x11 inch lyric sheets when playing an organ or keyboard with book stand. Is this lamp suitable?

it works fine to highlight the music when I play the piano. it's not necessary, but I also have a lighted lamp in the room.

Dec 23 at 12:13 PM Absolutely, thats exactly what my husband uses it for. The base is heavy enough that you can actually almost angle the light completely over to meet the base and it does not tip over- it's a beautiful thing.

One problem, when the batteries start to go, so does the light brightness, just be prepared

This is a great lamp for just this type of use. My wife loves this lamp and uses it daily for her reading, etc. Great buy, you will enjoy this lamp. I like the way you can adjust the position of the lamp to give you the best light where needed.

I don't think so. I have our light above our sectional and it's enough light to use the iPad and some light reading. For homework I would use stronger bulbs. We love the drum light and also purchased the matching floor lamp.

it really depends on what you need done. If it is the only source of light it will not be bright enough in that size room for reading. In the evening.

Would be good for this. It is maybe 15 inches high and maybe 8 inches across at the widest point. It is an LED light, so it is a soft light, rather and a powerful direct bulb. Although, would be cheaper and just as useful to buy a simple flashlight.

It is not too big for a average size hard cover book but I think it will be too bright to have it so close to the page. I cant get it to dim just on and off.This is a very good lamp. I would buy it. It also has legs that pull out from the side

Yes. It goes from about 41" to about 54", so you could use it both as a reading light or a task light.

This is a lovely lamp but it's not designed for reading (I don't know anything about Kindles which I think have their own backlit screen. This lamp throws light up and provides room ambient lighting. Not sure how it would work for readers.

It certainly produces enough light to be used at a piano, though the bulb sticks out of the flower so if you look right at it it may hurt your eyes...I haven't played in a long time so I can't test it out, sorry.

Although mine arrived damaged, I have another lamp similar to this one. If you need a lot of light, it is not a reading light.

I am extremely happy with this little music stand light. The extensions that you see in the picture are flexible and can be turned in any which way that you would like them to go. I highly recommend this product. Make sure you get the one with the AC adapter as I had the one that worked on batteries only but was not happy when they started to dim on me in the middle of a performance.

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 think it would come over the music far enough. It provides a good amount of light, but it's pretty straight up and down. As a former piano player myself, I would prefer an actual piano lamp that I could bend down over the pages of the music more. I'm using it as a desk lamp, and it's nice for that.

This lamp may not meet your desires. I use only the bulb that came with the lamp. A larger bulb may not be safe. J

The cord is black. The swing-arm lamp comes with a 100-watt halogen bulb so it should be bright enough to read music by.

I don't think it's bright enough to read by. It's really just a nice, low light that brightens up any dark areas you may have in the room. I originally bought it exactly for that purpose but liked it so much anyway that I decided to keep it lol! Keep looking if you really want something to read by but if you want a nice, trendy looking lamp, this is a good buy =)

As you can see on the picture, the base of the lamp is a clip. It doesnot open up sufficiently to securely fasten on something thicker than about 1/4". I don't know where on the piano you can finc something to clip the lamp to. However, with a bit of ingenuity, you can always find a nice piece of metal that can be fastened on to the sheet music board which would then hold the lamp.

The lamp is 14-15 inches high but the light it self get the 10 inches high. It's not appropriate for reading in bed, in my opinion. Maybe it adjusts to what you search.
