Piano lamps

A piano lamp illuminates the keyboard and sheet music so you can see any keys while playing even without the room's main lighting. It is suitable for upright pianos, grand pianos and digital pianos, for playing in the evening or on stage. A good lamp should direct light where you need it and must not dazzle you or increase the temperature of the instrument. The range includes LED lamps from brands such as Konig & Meyer and Gravity.

Where to position the lamp

Position the lamp so the light falls on the sheet music without shadows from your hands. On an upright piano, the lamp is often attached to the top board or music desk; for a digital piano, a stand-mounted solution may be more suitable. Also choose the lamp according to whether you want to leave it permanently on the instrument or remove it frequently. During a performance, also make sure the lamp does not obstruct the audience's or camera's view.

Music stands and accessories are also useful for sheet music. If you also work in a studio, check out mixing console lamps. You can find other types of stands in the Stands category.
