Good reading light to mount on pedalboard

Sign in to disble this ad
hello- i will have an extra ac plug on my pedalboard and thought it could be handy to have a small light. i want a sturdy (all metal or mostly all metal) led lamp with a flexible stalk thing- and it needs to have a small footprint. lastly- i would like it to have mounting brackets on the base. as far as aesthetic bonuses- would be nice if it was all black and had an led thats easy to swap out. might want to go with red/green- something easier on the eyes.

ive started looking around for mountable reading lights- but havent found any perfect fits- so if you have any advice itd be much appreciated. thanks and have a pleasant day.

Don't remember who it was, but somebody in the TB community posted about mounting a small USB router and an led gooseneck lamp to his board. I've done the same modification and it works quite well (not to mention cheap).

suggestion: buy any old lamp that half fits these parametres, and then paint it black, and change the LED to red/blue/green whatever you choose. specifics make searches more difficult

How about a clip-on music stand light, like this?

wow, that guy really thought out his pedalboard. I love the USB idea, and the wood+ metal looks pretty classy IMO. like moog
