I play drums and percussion professionally. Last November I fell off the back of my drum riser and then off the backside of the stage. Consequently, I suffered several intense injuries including a massive head concussion that led to a temporary loss of vision. With the work that I do, I constantly read charts (sheet music) both live and in the studio. With this loss of vision, I’ve had a hard time being able to read the music or set list, and it worried me that I wasn’t able to fulfill my job at the high standard that I had performed before my accident.
In January 2009, I attended the NAMM show and I walked into the Mighty Bright Music Light booth. I looked around and saw the best lights that I have ever seen. I knew that these were built for musicians and were made to make my job easier. While checking out the lights, I met sales and artist relations representative, Dustin Cheatham. After explaining what I had undergone with my injuries, Dustin showed me exactly what I needed—Mighty Bright Music Lights. I was amazed at the powerful LED bulbs in every single model. I left the booth with several lights that day and I can’t play without them at any gig or session!I have numerous Mighty Bright Music Lights on my set up. For my music stand I use the amazing Orchestra Light. I also use the Duet2 LED Music Light with adapter on my drummer’s table that holds my metronome and other accessories. To light up my set list I use the Triple LED Telescoping Light (Black). The newest addition to my set up is the 2 LED USB Light for my laptop. And for off stage I have the ever so handy Roadie Lights - Carabineer and Keychain LED Set for making my way around dark stages or venues.

Since the NAMM show, I have had the opportunity to build relationship with Mighty Bright and Dustin Cheatham. I’ve had several conversations with Dustin, and he proves that Mighty Bright is always on top of they’re game—always something new and inventive with Mighty Bright, designing to make our jobs as musicians much easier. I can tell you now that I personally believe that the days of cheap, dim halogen bulb lights are over thanks to Mighty Bright Music Lights! Mighty Bright has top notch artist relations and customer service! There is no reason why any musician should use any other personal, portable music light than Mighty Bright Music Lights! I’m very proud to be endorsing Mighty Bright and I know you will be proud to use them also! And who knows? Maybe if I had met Dustin Cheatham and Mighty Bright a couple of years ago, I would not have fallen off stage!
Bo's Personal Favorite Mighty Bright Music Light! The Orchestra Light!
Mighty Bright’s Orchestra Light is the brightest in the business. The sleek, black music stand light is inconspicuous, tasteful and understated, and comes with a convenient travel case. The long head features a row of nine brilliant LEDs and a sliding power switch that offers two light level options. Set the level to high to brighten up to four pages of sheet music. A discrete back fin directs light away from the audience and back to the sheet music. This stylish light is seriously sturdy, from clip to bulbs. The extra broad clip is a Mighty Bright exclusive design, with a powerful grip set on a broad base. The gooseneck is robust but allows user to make precise adjustments easily, even during performance. Its energy-efficient LEDs are not only sturdy enough to withstand the rigors of tear down and travel, but also heighten the contrast of the notes and words on sheet music for more comfortable, accurate reading. Lighting system? Check. Let the magic begin!
