Question 1

What's the difference between model F1 and F2?

Accepted Answer

Per the descriptions at the top of the page it, it appears the difference is the F2 model has a 9' charging cord (5V DC) as well as 2 charging ports (side and rear) where the F1 model does not have a cord (and maybe only 1 port?).

Question 2

I lost the charge wire - can i buy a new one?

Accepted Answer

You should be able to substitute if Aria can’t sell you a replacement. The original cord has a USB plug on the transformer end. That is not important. The end that plugs into the lamp has O.D.. of 0.35 mm and I.D. of  0.15 mm. The Aria transformer outputs 5V DC 2000mA. As comparisons: cell phone charger is 5V DC 1A (1000 mA); tablet charger is 5.2V DC 2400mA. I’m not an electrical engineer, but my understanding is that the voltage should be the same as the original charger’s (a bit higher than the battery being charged); the amperage will be regulated by circuitry within the battery assembly (a little lower than the original’s, a little slower charge/a little higher amperage is OK because the charging circuit will draw only what it is programmed to draw).

Question 3

Would this clip on to a slightly thicker music stand? I have a wooden stand that is approx 1cm thick.

Accepted Answer

I got this for a 1/2" thick wooden stand and found it didn't fit.  However, the clips are made of aluminum, and after bending the flange at the tips from the 90° into a 60-45° angle, it works great.  This also gave it a more perpendicular hold on metal stands.  I used a Knipex 8603180 pliers wrench I had and didn't break the powder coat; needle-nose pliers with something around the jaws would probably have worked too.

Question 4

Does it fit onto a grand piano lid?

Accepted Answer

I asked the same question. It can be but you'll need to do a little work. It's worth it.  see the following:

I’m glad you’re enjoying your light.

Great question!  There are two considerations when using our lights on pianos.  Many piano desks are not as tall as the music, and since our light normally attaches to the desk, the shorter desk may cause the music and light to interfere. The second consideration is that the piano desks are typically made from wood.  Our stand lights can accommodate up to about 0.45” in thickness, so they can work on some thicker desks, but our clips are metal and are not meant for use on fine furniture.

One simple solution to both issues is to use a stiff board in front of your desk, but behind your music.  You can use hardboard, a thin plastic cutting board, some lightweight black foam core (available at office depot and art supply stores), or practically anything else which raises the light off the desk tastefully and provides a surface on which the light can clip.  The board should be about 13 inches in height and at least 14 inches wide (20 inches wide is better to support your music).

We do have many happy customers using Aria Lights on pianos, and all have used a similar solution, but it does require an extra step.  Unfortunately, the clips are fixed and not replaceable.  In the future, I hope we will be able to offer a nicer solution that provides a backer specifically for piano desks, and I’ll let you know when we do.  In the meantime, there are many good options to get you going.
 
I hope this helps.  Good luck in whatever you decide to do.
