I've used a standard Manhassett stand light for quite some time, having bought it in a pinch when the pit was darker than expected one day. In the end, the light did little to alleviate matters, but I made due until recently when I decided to treat myself to a new LED light. I looked at several and ended up soliciting advice from the know-it-alls at The Trombone Forum.
Here's the thread.
I ended up with an Aria Diva - it's super bright and easily illuminates the whole stand. I was concerned that the audience or other players would find it distracting, but I asked around and nobody had any issues. Which is more than I can say for standard lights when pointed the wrong way!
