I am looking for a lamp to sit on a ledge to use as a grow lamp. Does anyone think this lamp will work?

It might but the light output isn't optimised for plant growth. The best source is the "gro-lux" or similar lamps used in aquaria. These have a pinkish light that I haven' seen in an LED yet. If you are worried about power consumption then they are usually a fluorescent type of lamp so are quite low compared to an incandescent lamp.

The light may not be strong enough to use as a grow light, unless it's a supplement to other light, say, from a window. It has three levels of light, and the highest one is excellent for reading. The area lit is not huge, maybe a foot by 1.5' square. I would hesitate to use it as a grow light, although I love the lamp, and which they had a floor model.

Hi, James, I am not pleased with this light. It doesn't provide enough light for my needs. I was all set to send it back and ask for a replacement but I had to have surgery and the lamp got pushed to the background of things I needed to do. I am not pleased with it, thinking at first that they had sent me a used display model whose bulbs were weak. If you have had a similar problem of weak lights it must be the way the thing comes. I can't use it.

I had it pointed on to a out door floor plant about 5 ft tall, I had it in a lamp that had a moveable neck. I think I pulled it back 2 ft from the plant.and placed lamp on a desk. I was trying to get a out door plant to live through the winter in doors ..IT WORKED !

No, it is not tall enough for a table lamp. it is more of an accent lamp and it only has a 40w bulb. It doesn't give off enough light and it looks better in the picture than in person. It looks cheap. I would not recommend this.

Sorry, but I don't think this will work for you. The top part of the clamp comes over the top of my desk a good inch before the bottom part can secure it tightly. It is a great lamp but it is very top heavy...

It is a tall bulb so may or may not fit in table lamp. Depends on shade and how much room you have to work with.

Wow! That would be cool. I am sure you can use this to make a bottle lamp, but you may have to be creative with the top portion. It may not hold on to the bottle properly. For the price- it is totally worth a shot! Good luck!

I wouldn't recommend it for task lighting, but it could be good enough for reading. Use this lamp, it works brighter than the others I've tried: Triangle Bulbs T95035-6 5W E12 LED Candelabra Equivalent to 40W Incandescent Bulb, Chandelier Led Light Bulbs (6 Pack)

It will work for growing plants if you give them the right spectrum of light. You can get bulbs of any temp for this fixture. This would be good for a 1ft by 2 ft area for vegetative growth only. If you are growing fruits and veggies you need a bigger fixture.

I don't think I'll do what you want it to. I use mine to start seedlings (peppers, lettuce, zucchini) and keep the light about a foot or two above lants. From that distance it only throws enough light to fill the area for about a 2' in diameter. You MIGHT be able to grow one or two pepper plants but not tomatoes (my opinion). You'll be better suited with something like 4' t-5 lighting fixture. I use the t-5 fixture to help a miniature orange tree (about the same size as a full grown tomato plant) during the short days of our northern winters

The lower lamp only swivels from the point that is close to where the glass is attached. It has very little movement. I would say it would not be good for that purpose.

The lamp has three light levels. The lowest level would be good for bed side. The lamp itself, depending on table size, might be okay size wise. The vertical arm and horizontal top are adjustable enough to make it work. If I were looking for a lamp, and knowing what I do now about this lamp, I would go for it if it fit my decor.

I don't think it would work well that way. It seem to work better the higher up the pole it is, since that allows it to give a wider area of light. I think if you needed to do that, you would be better off buying some sort of lantern to put on the table instead.

Yes, I think the bulb should fit in the lamp just fine. I have never used it for growing plants, I use it as additional lighting for my film.

Yes! My plant is not near a window and it only receives light from a lamp. No issues at all and looks very healthy.

this lamp has a very tight clamp and would be excellent for your table or headboard , not flimsy at all , although it will move if you try to bend the stem too hard or from side to side , it has sort of soft padding on the clamps as to not scratch a table , hope this helps to answer your question

I think it should be fine. Against a off-white wall, it's very good and used with a proper screen it's very bright. So much so that I run it in economy mode to preserve the lamp.
