@elliottbnewcombjr Great advice, thanks!
Recommendation for a wall-mounted turntable light
I’m looking for a good light that I can use to illuminate my turntable. However, I live in California/earthquake country and don’t really want a light that’ll just sit on my audio rack in case if falls over and damages my turntable/tonearm/cartridge when things start to shake. So that kind of puts one of the UberLights out of the picture (although I love the Frame model and think it would look pretty awesome). I know that the Frame can be bolted to a surface, but I’m not about to drill holes in my Symposium Acoustics rack! I don't really want to clamp it to the rack either. So, I was thinking that there might be a light that could be wall mounted that might do the trick. I’ve looked around a bit but haven’t found anything that great, so I thought maybe someone here might have a suggestion.
Any ideas?

I use these around the house (mainly during power outages and to give morning insulin shots to one of our cats when the light is low). I have a couple of small rechargeable battery chargers/jump starters to keep them going during longer power outages as they last approx. 1.5 hours per charge. Paid <$50 for 24 of them (Temu) and they seem to be fine some 9 months in (1 dud out of 24). Very handy during power outages when in motion detector mode as they activate as you walk through the home and then shut off automatically (just set them around as needed). My wife thought I was nuts until we had a 3.5 hour night time outage a few weeks ago.

@elliottbnewcombjr, your recommendations are interesting, especially this one: I tried a couple of these given my turntable does not sit on top of my AV rack, instead it is located on the first shelf under the top shelf for multiple reasons. Currently I have a dimmable LED light strip under the top shelf that does an ok job (with some mods to make it dimmer). I wonder if your recommended one above gets dim enough (especially when most / all other lights in the room are off / dim) and would work with my shelf setup. |
Amazon, easy returns, has many designs. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=gooseneck+lamp+with+clamp home depot has many you can see and some out of the box to mess with, buy one, or, learn there and buy ____ from Amazon after you mess with a few. https://www.homedepot.com/s/gooseneck%20lamp?NCNI-5 Walmart, other stores: I find they often do not have the inexpensive models in the store, you have to know about them and order online
