Acquris presents a world unique music light
Acquris presents a world unique music light

Unlike all other music lights on the market, whether they use LED or standard bulbs, they are based on a very rudimentary design. Power source and lamp, that's it!
Music lights with light bulbs have had a few advantages but many disadvantages. Leaving aside the obvious disadvantages of broken lamps and the requirement of connection to the power grip, the main advantage is that they can be dimmed to a low level if necessary.

The LED-based lamps have all the benefits that the light bulbs had as disadvantages, however they have a rather huge disadvantage. Dimming is very rudimentary, or truth be told, does not really exist. Being able to turn off a number LED's is really not dimming.

After our first try with ACQ-Music Light-DUO, we have taken most of the customers and professional musicians' wishes and developed a totally new and unique product on the world market. Acquris completely new and revolutionary music light, ACQ-MusicLight9-DIM.

Therefore, we are proud to present a music light with everyone (and some more) of the advantages of an LED-based music light had and combined it with the greatest advantage a light bulb type music light, true dimming.

Being able to use a music light with both mains and battery is also something that is common with LED-based music lights. However, we have decided to go a step further and has assembled a large rechargeable Li-Ion battery that allows up to 30 hours of continuous operation between charges. That should suffice for Wagner's ring concert. Moreover, we have chosen to let the charger function as both a charger AND and a AC adapter providing extra flexibility. For further flexibility, we have also equipped the charging cable with a standard USB connector, allowing the light to be charge just as easy from the supplied charger as from any computer. Practical and as said before, flexible.

We have also chosen to allow the lights lamp head to be as wide as an A4 page and has fitted quality lenses that spread the light very evenly, without glare or hot spots, up to 4 music sheets in width.

Despite the advanced dimming function, we have been eager to make the operations easy. A single button is all you need to keep track of.
One press, and ACQ-MusicLight9-DIM lights up maximum, press it again and the brightness is halved (not by turning off half of LED's that is common among other products, but by just halving the brightness of ALL LED's. A further press, and the brightness is halved once more. An additional press and it is halved once more. In this mode, the music light can be used even if the stage and orchestra pit should be dark, still providing enough light to read the music. This allows for new possibilities in the performances. One last press and ACQ-MusicLight9-DIM is switched off. Simple and easy to understand.

We have also made sure that the "gap" is extra wide and is also coated with an anti-slip rubber which allows the lights to fit snugly on virtually all music stands or binders.
In addition, the spring is extra strong so it wont come off by itself.

Thanks to the unique dimming function, the wide illumination angle and the strong clip, our ACQ-MusicLight9-DIM functions excellent as a book lamp without disturbing the bed partner.

Our LEDs are manufactured by Taiwanese Edison that ensures nearly 100,000 hours of operating time without failure. This makes our ACQ-MusicLight9-DIM a genuine "perpetual devices', when not even the battery needs replacing.
