I got my light and the official carrying bag just to be complete about it.
So I've used the light maybe fifteen minutes over the past year.

Sorry I'm no help.

I'm using a "little light" (maybe leco?)  brand gooseneck lamp.  exact 
same thing i believe. it's an industry standard gooseneck; they come in 
various lengths.  you can get most anywhere.  they also fit just about 
every live console made.  I had an extra one or two so I didn't have to 
buy the retail one.

Little lite makes some nifty ones that use an intense bulb, but the are more
expensive (very bright too)  They don't quite last as long, but DAYM are
they bright :)  HOT too...

-  a lot of other companies make them as well.  HOSA makes their own
variety, as well as about every other generic cable/accessory company
(PRO-CO, etc.)

doesn't matter anyways, the cheap ones are all about $19.00 and probably
made in the same factory to begin with =)

Ditto.  Well, I had a hum in my headphones for little bit, but it was just 
cause that circuit board was a little loose from when I painted my XL-7. 
All's well now....

Re: the lighting attachment..

2003-01-07 by geraldayoung <geraldayoung@yahoo.ca>

Hey Plasticefx

Yes, I had exactly the same problem... when the light is attached, 
the XL7 goes ape and boots/reboots every 2 seconds infinitely... 
lights flashing and speakers popping... the whole bit. 

Your guess about the light is on the money. It turns out that some of 
these lights run a little hot when the connection between the bulb 
and the socket is a little less than perfect. This causes the tiny 
wire they fished through the flex neck to become de-soldered from the 
little disk contact in the bulb socket. A little shifting here and 
there and all of a sudden the wire contacts the shell of the lamp 
assembly and POW... POW....POW...POW!

I managed to fix mine but there was not much wire to work with and I 
have no confidence in the repair... it will probably fail when I need 
it the most... of course.

Hope this helps.

Ger
