Lamp fits perfectly with the stand. The light is very nice: yellowish and soft on the eyes. The lamps, not cheap as another reviewer already remarked, only last for a short little while; way too short! After going through 5 lamp-bulbs in less then 9 months, I call it quits and start looking for another lamp.

I've had this light for a while. The case is sturdy and the cord is long enough but the clips could be a little stronger. It's easy to knock the light from the stand -- resulting in a broken bulb. Even when not knocked from the stand, the bulbs don't seem to last very long. They're not cheap either! I'm looking around for something better and you probably should too.

This Manhasset music stand light does not give me the illumination that I had hoped for. Manhasset has elongated the neck of the light so that it's so far away from -- and above -- the music sheet that the light is very faint at best. I suppose they did this in order to accommodate thick music books. It really doesn't provide adequate lighting for me to read my sheet music, though.

The stand light itself works great, but as other reviewers alluded to, it seems to EAT conventional stand light bulbs, which themselves seem rather fragile. After going through two of those bulbs in a couple months, it seemed like too much a coincidence. I switched over to a CFL bulb and never had to worry about that again. It gives off plenty of light still, isn't nearly as fragile to bumps in-transit, and will last for years instead of months.

I already have the Manhasset music stand. This light clips right on it perfectly. Brightness of the bulb is adaquate.
