I am as well as being a torchaholic, an active musician, and have recently purchased a Casio MZ2000 synth. I have come across a disadvantage when using this instrument on a darkened stage, that of seeing the button legends on the control panel. The central LCD is very bright an highly visible, it having a very good backlight, but the rest of the control panel is not illuminated and I cannot see the button legends too well.
What I need then is some kind of LED lighting that will illuninate the control panel, maybe with cyan LED's and powered by batteries. I need diffuse light over quite a large area (120cm by 45 approx). The device will need some kind of collimator or diffuser to do this and ensure an even spread. The light needs to be bright enough to see the panel legends but not so bright as to blind out the annunciator LED's. I also do not want to modify the synth itself in any way!
Any attachment to the synth must not detract from the synth's good looks (image is important these days in a modern rock band!)
The device must also be rugged enough to put up with the usual knocks and bangs normally encounted when touring in a band!
Any ideas greatfully recieved!
