K&MMighty Bright MBD2 Xtraflex Deluxe Duet 2 Light

I have many Mighty Bright Lights, they are all just wonderful so useful and very well made. This particular one the MBD2 Extraflex DeLuxe Duet 2 is extra extra bright as it has 2 LED lights on the end of each arm, and you can choose by clicking on each head if you want one light or two on each arm individually, so more choice. It uses batteries but you also have the option of using a Power Adaptor made by Mighty Bright which you can order. I have the Power Adaptor as its so useful to have the option. The power adaptor has a very very long cable which gives you ability to use a long way from mains socket. The power adaptor can also be used with most of the other Mighty Bright lights including the new one with a magnifier on one arm. When you have one Mighty Bright you find a use for another. I attach the Mighty Bright Light to the back of the Book Chair which is available on Amazon, and if you read books you have to get a book chair. I have collected a small one, a medium one and a standard one, and the book light clips on the back of each Book Chair. Can highly recommend both the Mighty Bright light and the Book Chair.

I bought this to illuminate a guitar effects pedal board. The two flexible necks allow for good coverage and the LEDs are certainly bright enough. The attachment clip is not well suited for clipping on to pedal boards. I need to buy a power supply for it, the battery life is just too short.

Pretty good really and although it 'does what it says on the box' I still don't feel it is as good as our old Giglight (now broken, and new ones sadly no longer available).It's a little bit fiddly - fumbly - floppy somehow, and whilst the lights seem bright the spread is not as good as I expected however you adjust it. The clip is a bit 'undergrippy' too.So, OK-ish !

I bought four of these in a hurry for an upcoming job for our string quartet. Purchase in haste, repent at leisure? Love the lights, but for a supposed music stand light they have a hard job standing undrunkenly upright on the traditional folding music stand metal lyre. The clip needs a floating hinged friction plate to grip anything thin with more than the one rotating point of contact. I solved it eventually with some 50mm lengths of 25mm plastic plumbing tube to slide over the lyres and into which slide the clips - oh only a couple of hours fiddling about wasted, not fiddling. Love the lights, but hate the switches. Put them however carefully into your case and on return home, lo! there shall be light from at least one of them - the slightest touch turns them on!! What was wrong with the sliding switch on the older models? I solved it eventually with an elaborate cardboard tray made from a shoe box lid with ingeniously (though I say it myself) punched holes with entry slots that hold the knecks just under the heads so they cannot switch themselves on. Only another couple of hours wasted. (Take the batteries out? - you've got to be joking!) £88 later, I suppose I should have returned them, but after all that work!?

I have used many different stand lights over the years but these are by far the best I've used. They are also a marked improvement on the older model of this light and it is absolutely worth spending the extra. Both LEDs illuminated on each light will be more than enough in any setting, however one on each is enough for a lot of occasions. Battery life is very good literally giving you hours of use. Some reviewers have criticised the on button design resulting in the lights coming on whilst in a gig bag. Whilst I agree this design could be refined or perhaps a box be included with the lights, this should not put you off buying them. I simply turn one of the batteries round the wrong way before I pack my light away and this works fine.
