At $5.87 we had a hard time beating Mainstays LED Clip-On Lamp from Walmart.com This is the same clip on light we use for our own trade shows. It’s also generally available in stores as well as online.
What’s nice about this lighting choice is that it’s convenient and inexpensive. We highly recommend this if you’re on a tight trade show budget or just starting a new gallery and need to watch costs.
These lights are rugged LEDs light things up rather well. If they’recrushed in shipping or lost in between shows, there’s usually a Walmart nearby so you can easily find a replacement with little to no wait. The clamp works very well with ParetiMobile Walls top channel area, and the clamp is tight and stays put. This light is also available in silver and other colors.
