At the heart of the "LEDClip" light are 6 high-powered LED's, which provide a very bright warm white light over the entire score, with very little "spillage". Light produced by the LEDClip is virtually color-free and provides for optimum readability of scores without the need for high power and resulting heat produced by incandescent lamps. There are no bulbs to change and the LEDs are extremely robust and have an extremely long life expectancy. The range of ClipLights is fitted with a powerful spring clip that enables them to fit almost any make of stand. A unique design feature enables the clip to grip firmly on any thickness of tray, and yet be moved simply by squeezing the clip. A very slim lamp, the LEDClip has a specially designed housing
and reflector system to both allow the musician an uninterrupted
view of the conductor as well as maximizing light on the score while
greatly reducing light radiated to other musicians nearby. The LEDClip
light can be powered by a non-dimmable outlet plug power supply
or is available with a dimmable power supply. It is constructed
of highly durable but lightweight aluminum and is very portable
and well suited for travel. A double-width version is also available
for conductors and use with pianos. London, UK & Atlanta,

The Opera LEDlight is the slimmest, brightest, most long lasting music stand light ever. The light features 6 high-powered LED's in a slim housing to give a bright, warm white light over the entire musical score. The LED's are extremely robust and have a life expectancy equal to that of the stand as a whole. Among the options offered with the new Opera LEDlight are an IEC
daisy chaining system with dimming capability, and rechargeable
battery power with radio control. "This represents a technical
quantum jump for our company and maintains our position as the leading
music stand supplier to the world's most prestigious music venues
and professionals" said Andrew Michell, Managing Director of
RAT Music Stands Ltd. About the Opera Stand The Opera stand is the ultimate music stand system with lighting and accessories to fulfill every need.

Individual user features and benefits of the Opera stand include
lamps that can be rotated and adjusted both front and back. The
stands have constant friction joints that keep tray and lamp in
place and an easy to use large height adjustment knob. The joint
and knob provides secure adjustment for the heaviest of scores.

London, UK
& Atlanta, GA - May 1, 2004 RAT Music Stands Ltd announces the introduction of a new range of Conductor's stands. They combine unique professional designs with a range of tray materials and styles to meet the needs of the most demanding maestros, orchestras and music venues. The premier product in the line is the Grand Opera Conductor's stand. It is designed for semi-permanent installation in the orchestra pit of large opera houses and similar facilities. The stand has an adjustable tray width, low profile base with adjustable feet and wheels and features three tungsten halogen lamps that surround the tray. The lamps are adjustable for height, reach and angle. The height of the Grand Opera stand is also electrically adjustable with digital readout of height and two memory pre-sets. The adjustable tray width and very slim lamps enable any size of score to be accommodated without undue obstruction of the view. The extra lights at the sides of the tray give even and very bright illumination of the score, and sufficient light is reflected off the score to illuminate the maestro as well. Electric height adjustment puts control at the maestro's fingertips. A matching electrically height- adjustable conductor rostrum is also available. For surroundings with more avant-garde styling there is the Opera Conductor's stand. The tray is formed of black nylon coated steel rods. This striking look is similar to the company's famous Opera stand. The Opera conductor's stand has a tray large enough for the biggest opera score. Its elegant, minimalist design and very slim lamp ensure that the musicians get the best possible view of the conductor. The lamp can be folded under the tray if not required. And its powerful light is carefully controlled to avoid dazzling the audience. The Concert Conductor's stand is ideal for performances in lit
venues, using all but the largest scores. Its design matches that
of the Concert stand. Ideal for venues with wood accented surroundings,
the tray is formed in one piece from natural birch wood, stained
and lacquered to beech. A two halogen bulb clip-on lamp, the RATstands
Twin HaloLight, is available as an accessory. London, UK & Atlanta,
GA – April 8, 2004 What musician would not want a better music stand light? White halogen has been found to be best for readability of old and new scores. The new HaloLight series of stand lamps introduces special halogen bulbs for the best light available. HaloLights are now available with all RAT music stands, and the universal clip-on model "HaloClip" also fits other manufacturers' stands. HaloClip clamps neatly and rigidly to the top of the music stand
tray and ensures positive locking with many types of music stand
tray. The small tungsten halogen bulbs enables a very slim housing
which allows the musician the best possible view of the conductor.
The precision formed reflectors produce superior illumination over
the whole score without "light lines", and with minimum
spillage. Two versions of the lamp are available - one with a single
mains voltage bulb and the Twin HaloClip with a double low voltage
bulb. The low voltage bulbs produce an even whiter and better controlled
light, less heat and longer life compared to mains voltage bulbs.
The new lamp is supplied with flexible 7ft. power cord with built
in switch.

London, UK & Atlanta,
GA – July 1, 2003 The new product is designed for orchestras, music groups and individual performers. Jazz is a professional quality stand with the versatility of being highly portable, for both indoor and outdoor events. Jazz stands represent several decades of experience in music stand development. The product is both eye-catching and yet friendly to the most discriminating performer. It has no knobs, no finger traps and eliminates the hassle of opening it up. Jazz stands offer a full range of height adjustment from under 40 cm (15 in) to 120 cm (47 in). The stand has similar stability to a fixed-stand and a full size music tray with pencil shelf. As a result of their unique and patented design, they fold in three moves to a flat pack no larger than the size of the tray (51 x 38 cm or (20 x 15in.) and 5cm (1.97 in) thick. The aluminum alloy legs and stem, and high impact polymer tray make the Jazz stand light in weight (3.1 Kg or 6.8 lbs.) yet extremely sturdy. The Jazz stand’s design utilizes a patented friction joint
adjustment system. This system enables Jazz to raise high enough
for the tallest standing trumpeter, yet drop low enough for the
youngest cellist, without adjusting a single screw. A variant of
Jazz is also available in which the base is reversed to enable the
stand to be placed very close of the chair of the player in front.
This version is designed to cater to orchestras with very tight
space restrictions. Once folded the Jazz stand is easily inserted
into an optional gig-bag, stacked on top of other Jazz stands, or
put in a custom made flight case. London, UK &
Atlanta, GA – May 1, 2003 Concert stands offer a choice of wood or stylish metal tray. For venues with wood accented surroundings, the tray is formed in one piece from natural birch wood, stained and lacquered to beech or other hardwoods, and complimented by a slender metal base. The tray is available with an addition padded shelf for pencils and rubbers. A Concert Conductor’s stand featuring the same wood tray construction adds to the total wood look. For surroundings with more avant-garde styling, the tray is formed of black nylon coated steel rods. This striking look is similar to the company’s famous Opera stand. This tray can also be fitted with a sturdy non-movable pencil shelf. Concert stands offer a full range of height adjustment from 680 mm (27 in) to 1370 mm (54 in). Tray size is 500 mm (19.5 in) by 330 mm (13 in). The Concert Conductor version is 860 mm (34 in) wide. A friction lock holds the tray at set height and its stem cannot be over extendedThe trayautomatically stays at the set angle due to constant friction provided by powerful springs in the friction joint. Both models offer an optional independently height adjustable mensola per utensili. The base of all Concert stands is made of tubular steel for strength and rigidity without excess weight. Rubber feet prevent clatter if the stand is knocked and 3-point contact provides stability on uneven floors. The design of the feet enables stands to be stacked on the floor or shelves to minimize storage space. Fifty (50) Concert stands can be stacked in a space less than 3.5 m (11.5 ft,) by 0.5 m (1.6 ft). London, UK &
