Littlite. Perfect amount of light. Newer ones are LED. Mine is halogen. Picture is misleading because the iPhone compensates for the night photo. It's attached to the wall behind the turntable. Never had any issue with noise but that's to be expected because I first learned about them on a feature film mixing stage that had about 2 million dollars worth of recording equipment so no noisy lighting allowed!
Hi there dear hifi-friends,
Finally?… I got my self a small upgrade over my turntable. A new thick stainless steel bracket / console, and a new flexible 5w ledlamp from Lindby and the model Hanilo. The light is a solid warm and a little bit yellowish light without dimmer function. It is going to be very effective, when it comes to changing cartridges.
Here is before:
And here is after the the installation:
The only backside to the strong light is that you see all the dust that is not suppose to be there, haha… Another reason for cleaning little bit more often, haha.
Here’s the stainless steel bracket that I made at my friends workshop:
Well, that’s it folks - hope you liked it.
All the best

Here is a photo of the light I bought. It is completely rechargeable via USB and has 4 levels of brightness. At the highest intensity it is extremely bright. No RFI whatsoever as it is wireless. Bought it in New York in the gift shop at the Museum of Modern Art for $88. Best investment for the price IMO

Oooh that's a good one. I don't have shelf space so I got this wall mounted battery operated light. It's on a magnetic ball so it can aim in any direction. Has to be charged every week.I just checked. Price is now $95 but worth every penny...

That one meets my criteria. First, it’s battery powered because any power supply plugged into the wall affects the sound. Second, it doesn’t rest on the turntable or on the turntable stand because, in my experience, that too always affects the sound.
I also just realized that if you buy two, one can always be charging so you never lose the light! Placing the order for the second one now!
I bought this one a few years back. It's been great.

The light barrel itself also twists - so you can light the wall behind the turntable for more ambiance, or hit it from above or in front - its entirely up to you! Symphony Acoustics Turntable Illumination LAMP.

Those of us with long memories may recall John Bicht of Versa Dynamics. He was adamant that nothing with LEDs should plugged in anywhere in the house when listening to music. The LEDs ruined the sound. I won’t go that far but it is true LEDs affect sound quality to some degree. Some components with LEDs have a switch to allow turning off the LED display, and the sound is always better when they are turned off.
The takeaway for me is to avoid LEDs whenever I can, especially on the music room power lines. In fact, I do not leave anything plugged into a wall socket except the components actually in use at the time. Therefore, CD transport and DAC are unplugged when I listen to records. That is why I would never use a wall-powered turntable light and especially an LED light.

I don't hear any sound difference using my TT set-up with my headphone system whether I have my LED light on or not.
And my headphone system is very sensitive to picking up non music noise !
I ordered Mike’s exact floor-standing lamp. It is very sleek and bright and well-made. I have it standing right behind, and over-looking the turntable.
I am very happy with the WAC swing-arm lights (but not yet tested for EMI) on the wall, which swing out and swivel to direct the light at an angle.
Did you try unplugging the LED lamp as opposed to just turning it off?
