A big thank you to everyone who took the time to visit us, including Event Sound & Light, Scottish Ballet, Open Up Music, Opera Ballet Vlaanderen, BBC Philharmonic, National Theatre among others. We really appreciated the opportunity to connect and look forward to continuing the conversations.

Innovation has always been part of the RATstands story.

Our original Opera Stand was the first music stand to feature an integrated light, designed to help musicians perform in the demanding conditions of an opera pit.

At the turn of the millennium, we were embracing LED technology long before it became commonplace, developing a stand light that delivered full light output in a slim, robust housing with precise light control.

Today, that same focus on practical innovation continues across our lighting range, from entry-level music stand lights to advanced wireless, radio-controlled systems.

50 years on, we're still finding better ways to light the music stand.

Who remembers these lights? 💭
