Cocoweb 48 cm Adjustable Height and Shade Energy-efficient LED Grand Piano Lamp – Black/Brass Accents

Bought this fixture to replace an old fluorescent one which was not really doing the job on the church piano. The Cocoweb unit is much brighter and the included dimmer control allows you to adjust the amount of light to whatever level you desire. The fixture has a clean, stylish look which complements the baby grand piano, yet it's slim size almost makes it seem to disappear when turned off. The only thing I didn't like was the foam tape provided to secure the dimmer in place. Totally unsuitable by my standards. Instead, I machined a block of aluminum to hold the dimmer and attached it to the rear of the clamping bracket (see pics #1-3). This provided a centered mounting and still allowed easy adjustment of the dimmer when necessary. Be aware that there is an error in the description about the thickness range of the music rest which can be accommodated by the clamp of this fixture. It is capable of attaching on 3/8" up to 9/16", but not any thicker, unless you remove the padded pressure plate from inside the clamp. I don't recommend doing that, because the thumbscrews could mar the rear of the music rest when they are tightened, without the padded plate in place. All in all, it's a great light fixture, although I think it's priced a bit higher than necessary. However, I was unable to find anything else that was comparable at a lower cost, so the choice was pretty simple.

Die Lampe sieht sehr gut aus, ist gut verarbeitet und funktioniert einwandfrei. Die Lampe kann in der Höhe verstellt werden, sitzt gut auf dem Notenpult. Ein Dimmer-Teil liegt auch bei, das man bei Bedarf einschleifen kann. Es gibt ein paar kleine Details, die schöner sein könnten (z.B. der billig wirkende Einschalthebel oder die außen aufgesetzten Schrauben), wir haben in Deutschland aber keine andere Flügellampe gefunden, die so minimalistisch-elegant ist. Die Lampe kommt allerdings aus USA, wir mussten noch ca. 50 Euro Zoll / Steuern zahlen, die wir aber prompt von Cocoweb zurückerhalten haben. Außerdem muss man sich noch einen Adapter von US-Flachstecker auf EU-Norm zulegen (kostet 1 Euro vom Amazon-Chinesen), die Lampe kann aber auch direkt über ein Gleichstrom-Netzteil betrieben werden. Der Kontakt zum Kundenservice wird prompt und sehr zuvorkommend beantwortet. Ich würde die Lampe jederzeit für Flügel empfehlen.

I first tried an all-brass grand piano lamp that was ove $400, and the lighting was weak and inadequate, and the unit was ridiculously large for my grand piano. This one slides over the lyre and the led level is adjustable and adequate. It's unobtrusive and good-looking. That said, it could be improved by having the dimmer attached to the fixture instead of just hanging on the low voltage lead (mine ends up resting on the piano plate, neither convenient nor practical; adjusting the lamp's height required me to use pliers to tighten the tiny knurled screws so that there would be no slippage; that should be an easy manufacturer fix. But I am satisfied overall given the results and the price point. And 19" was the proper size for my solo practice.

This lights up my music perfectly, the light is a soft color, easy on the eyes, and with the dimmer I can adjust it exactly how I want. My music stand is fairly flimsy (I was concerned the light might be too heavy for it), but with a bit of special adjusting, the light stays in the perfect position. Very happy with my purchase. The dimmer switch does hang down the back in an awkward position, as others have noted, but that is a minor issue that can easily be dealt with one way or another.

The light is well made, easy to assemble, easy to attach to the piano’s music stand and has a nice long cord. It is bright enough to see your music clearly in an otherwise dark room. The light bar adjusts smoothly so you can have it exactly where you want the light to shine (on the music and not in your eyes). The dimmer switch uses a real potentiometer and is self contained with its own input and output. I don’t plan to use it but it is a nice option to have and I appreciate that I don’t have to have it attached at all. The whole thing is unobtrusive and well designed. There is no way that it will mar your piano either.
