Help! On the jobs I play on a B-3, I have plenty of room for a small keyboard light. The problem I have is when I use my Solton MS 60. There is no place on the keyboard for a light when I play late in the evening on a patio at my regular gig. I move in and out every night (no secure place to store equpment) so I don't want to mess with a lighting tree stand, Par 38's or whatever.
I'm not looking for stage lighting, just something light, durable and easy to set-up.
Ideally, I could place it several feet behind me and several feet over my head so I could see my Solton petals. I really don't need a chase feature, etc. A dimmer feathre would be nice but not necessary.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Russ

I myself have the littlites too and always hated to use an extra power adapter.
Most keyboards have a built-in transformer to convert main-voltage to 12VAC. So I used this (mostly over dimensioned) AC power to feed my littlites thru a special 4 pin(!) XLR connector.
The XLR chassis-part is located in the small metal plate that is reserved for the video-interface.... so no 'damage' to the SD1's body.
The littlites are variable and are mounted at the backside of the SD1 music stand.
