Conductor's light

One of my groups rehearses in a dim room, so most people use stand lights. This makes the conductor especially hard to see, because he is unlit. My normal quick upward glance gives no information. Is there such a thing as a portable spotlight? That wouldn't blind him?

Maybe you’ve considered and discarded this as an option but: would it not be better to light the room with a portable light?
A portable contractor light - possibly bounced off a white reflector/wall to diffuse it - might make everyone happier than adding yet another task light.

There are batons with a light at the tip.
If he can stand it, put a light on his stand illuminating his upper body.

Make that a UV light, and this:

Having a reasonable stand light on the conductor and actually using a white baton will help if you can’t get better light.
I usually put at least two stand lights on the conductor’s stand to provide a lot of light both on them and for them.
Cheers,

My experience with those batons with a light on the tip has been less than satisfying. Just creates a blur and more confusion. Much better to find a way to put subtle lighting on the conductor.
