Played a gig last week and realised that I need a good lighting solution as I could not see the controls of my mixer, minitaur, and, DE’s and was using a flashlight in one hand to see this limiting my control on the hardware… I have a A&H Zed 14 mixer and try’d to rig a USB desk light from it but the USB port does not provide power…
Also thought of a head lamp like Orbital but i don’t want people to think I want to be them or the head lamp is my trade mark or something as wearing a mask or some shit on your head is envogue these days… I just need something that is portable and not too bright and can preferably clamp on to something… Maybe I should browse the Ikea catalogue for something…
I use 1pound battery powered xmas lights for my stopmotion-disco’s
but hmmm. if they can fake “a disco” i am sure they can light up your machine.
most of them are led-based… so they dont eat batteries for breakfast…
ecieved the light and with just a short demo of it with my studio lights off it works great on all 3 light settings… I am using batteries for now so can’t comment on longevity but I think I have an old 5v cell phone charger around that i can power it with… Only thing I may try to change is the tension of the spring for the clamp mechanism…
Overall a good light for gigging and this make life easier when i play next in fact I may just use it in the studio with the lights off to get use to playing with low light…
