5.0 out of 5 stars The Perfect Piano Lamp, December 7, 2007

The House of Troy piano floor lamp is perfect for use with a grand piano and is worth the price. It is attractive, solid, and well-made. I was tired of having lamps sitting on the piano and ending up in the way of music. The PFL-617 sits along side the piano and out of the way. The arm is easily adjustable and puts the light right where you need it.

Most of my family plays the piano and loves the lamp. I've had mine for a year now and have just ordered one as a Christmas gift for my mom.

Kudos to the folks at House of Troy!

5.0 out of 5 stars An elegant choice for an elegant instrument, July 9, 2011

The first lamp I bought for my grand piano was an articulated desk lamp with a cool, modern design. It looked okay but it was rather heavy on the desk and the luminaire did not light up enough of the music.

My second piano lamp was the clip-on light from House of Troy. It had a great beam spread and looked rather good. Unfortunately, it didn't balance well on my Baldwin and was prone to tipping forward. I had several near-disasters spurred by rapid page-turns.

My last piano lamp is this floor lamp, also from House of Troy. I like it because it stays out of my way, doesn't even touch the piano, and puts a good spread of light on the music. (I use a multiple-LED lamp in it.) Its size and shape complement the grandeur of the instrument.

One thing to be aware of is that the counterweight end of the boom takes up considerable space. The mast can be positioned quite close to the piano, but the boom is going to stick out 12 to 18 inches away from the side.

What can I say? It's stylish and allows the light to be used without blocking your vision.

Moreover, It doesn't sit ON the piano... For those people who have such lights... Don't you hate how the light vibrates and moves when you play? No such problem with the floor lamp.

AND, more importantly, I think the folks at Illuminati lighting and their customer service department are 6-star!!
