What do you guys use?

A small torch if I need it. I don’t like those kind of bedside lamps around the vinyl rig all the time.

Fremer recently mentioned one which many bought…but still not for me.

I use these to good effect, picked up a handful at IKEA for $16 each.

Is that USB powered?

Yes.

Of course, all vinyl setups have USB readily available.

That’s probably not so wrong unfortunately for many newer incarnations with phonostages and digitizer cirquits on board :wink:

No, there is no USB power provision. You may wish to do additional research at IKEA

true, but most folks have spare usb chargers around - i try and use apple ones (i have a few gathered over the years when each device came with one), so it can save in cost and allow reusing :slight_smile:

Sorry, I was being silly. I enjoyed the idea an analog aficionado would naturally have USB outlets readily handy.

It works best with an AQ Dragon USB cable wrapped in ultra absorber mats with a mobius twist, and a cherry on top.

I know, always worth reminding folks to reuse though :slight_smile:

I have had a few different lights over the years and this is the best one by far.

My personal Favorite. Has a USB charger port in the base which comes in handy.
Built like a tank, reliable, multiple color temperatures. Awesome.

We have several Uberlight Flex. We bought one, and really liked it, so we purchased two more. My wife is using one now at her watercolor table as I right this.

I always worry about noise from those little USB chargers near hifi. Now that you use them, I am encouraged to have a shot at them.

The apple ones seem pretty quiet…

I have one and it’s excellent. I bought two more and they will be Christmas gifts.
