Lighting standing gallery signage

    Hello All!

    I work in a historic space where most of our didactic information is presented on self‑standing 17×11 signs. Because our light levels are kept low to protect artworks, it can sometimes be difficult for visitors to read the signage. We've been experimenting with clip‑on music stand lights to improve visibility, but they only last about a week before needing to be recharged. With the number of signs we have, this isn't a feasible long‑term solution. 

    I'm wondering if anyone has recommendations or suggestions for effectively lighting self‑standing signage.

    Thanks!
