High quality CONOCO Piano Lamp does a great job of lighting my sheet music with just the right amount of brilliance. The light extends at least a couple of feet beyond the ends of my 88 key piano. I'm very, very pleased with this lamp and would recommend it to a friend without reservation. UPDATE: CONOCO contacted me and asked that I write a review. I originally wrote a five star review (the first three sentences of this paragraph). Ironically, the CONOCO Piano Lamp stopped working after I wrote the initial five star review. I changed this to a one star review after my experience with CONOCO. The lamp stopped working because of a defective adapter cord. CONOCO advised me that 99% of the failures they have encountered are due to defective adapters, which seems to comfirm to me that this is an ongoing problem that they are very aware of. It also confirms that I'm not the only one who has contacted them about the problem with their defective adapters. After exchanging a number of emails, CONOCO agreed to send me a replacement adapter. The new replacement adapter that they sent me also burned out and failed very quickly. I have used the lamp for a total of two hours, and I have spent several hours communicating with the CONOCO representative concerning this problem. I finally advised CONOCO that I can't afford to spend more time exchanging emails, and I don't want to continue to replace old defective adapters with new defective adapters. I requested a return mailing label and a refund. The CONOCO representative replied that this is not their refund policy (so I never got a refund). I returned the Piano Lamp to CONOCO with a note saying that I do not want to experiment with additional adapters. I also told CONOCO that they can do whatever they want with the lamp that I returned to them, and that I never want to see it again. My experience with the CONOCO Piano Lamp and with the CONOCO representative has given me a headache! Maybe you'll have better luck with CONOCO, maybe not. LED lights generally have a life expectancy of 50,000 hours, so I was surprised when the CONOCO lamp failed, and I certainly wouldn't have expected adapter after adapter to fail (I've never had an adapter fail on any of my electronics before). Maybe CONOCO is getting a run of bad adapters from their supplier and are using their customers as beta testers I'm not sure, but it doesn't make much difference. I'm now using a Mighty Bright Orchestra Light that I'm very happy with. It's not as fancy looking as the CONOCO lamp, but it is reliable. The Mighty Bright Orchestra Light has two brightness settings, and the bright setting is about the same as the CONOCO lamp. It's now time for me to leave CONOCO's problem with their defective adapters made in China and their uncompromising attitude behind and concentrate on playing music.

It took me a while to find a medium-priced lamp that didn't have brass on it. This one looks just fine--nothing fancy, but nothing silly either. It stays put. It really illuminates my music and my piano students' music. Much better than regular room lighting, especially as my eyes age!
