A new product from Fretlord, called Spectrus, aims to solve the problem of musician’s not being able to see what they’re playing in a dark performance environment.
Fretlord Spectrus is a USB rechargeable LED accessory that is attached to the instrument’s body or headstock and projects adjustable LED light (you can choose one of three colours and also a changing colour cycle) onto the point of contact. A three hour recharge can provide up to ten hours of light.
A tension clip to mount the Spectrus on the headstock of a guitar aims light down the fret board like a spot light onto the hands.
The system is designed for outdoor night performances on the beach or campfire jams. Venues with no stage lighting, performing in an orchestra pit, dark rehearsal spaces, studio ambience, guitar wall mounting, and product displays.
Price points are set to debut the Spectrus at around $49.99.
Kev Sciortino, CEO of Fretlord, said: “The new design resolves players concerns of not being able to see hand position in dark environments and a real relief for those with night vision problems or wear glasses. Additionally, providing eye catching lighting effects on the instrument for flashy stage presentations. We have modernised the design utilising some of the newer RGB LED technologies available today.”
