Does lamp have to be used with a table clamp?

The lamp has a 1/2" diameter 1 1/2" long post on the bottom which fits into the clamp. If you drilled a 1/2" hole into a table/desk etc it should work for you. This is a heavy lamp you would need a heavy duty desk to work for you. The plastic fold up tables would not be suggested. Good Luck

I use mine on the end of a straight floor stand, but it looks to me like you can use it with the table clamp.

Yes...it can stand alone! Clamp is very sturdy and can serve as a base for the lamp so fairly versatile.

Sorry, but no. The base of the lamp is a small cylinder that just sits in a cylindrical hole in the top of the clamp. The only thing that holds the lamp in the clamp is gravity. If you mount the clamp upside down, gravity will make sure that the lamp ends up on the floor. But, other than the bulb, the lamp would probably survive.

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...

I don't see why not, however the hole in the bench must have a flat bottom on which the end of the post can rest. In other words, if the post sinks too far into the hole, the lower swivel hinge of the lamp would contact the bench surface and that would stop the lamp from moving left and right as it should be able to do. The clamp has a nylon bushing which provides a bottom to limit the depth so that the swivel hinge does not hang up on surface of the table to which the clamp is attached. I suppose one could remove the busing from the clamp and install that in a hole in the workbench. - Ed

I have used a C Clamp that goes on a lighting stand e.g., T shaped light tree stand. The spotlight is quite heavy, thus you want to have stable stand; I hung other lights on the other side of the horizontal bar on the stand to balance the weight.

If you have a "lip" underneath your wooden table then the clamps won't touch the wood. The clamp apparatus extends over the "lip" but it doesn't actually touch the wood. The chair still is attached firmly when we use it. Hope this helps answer the question.

Sorry, this lamp plugs in like any ordinary table lamp. It is very, very nice though, so if you can work it out with the plug you'll be happy.

Yes but only with incandescent bulbs. heavier energy efficient bulbs are not supported well by this clamp.

The clamp - at its widest opening - is about 3 inches and has rubber tips on the inner grip. The lamp is a little under two pounds. I have mine attached to a flat, wooden surface. I really don't know how it will work on a metallic tube shape that might be somewhat slippery. The grip seems fine for my purpose.

Absolutely. My problem with the light is that it came with too big of a clamp and I wrote about it. I had to install it with zip ties. You should have no problem.

The lamp I purchased did not have a clamp. My application was a little different and required it to be bolted.

The clamp that attaches the lamp to a table, opens to about 2.75 inches. it has a 3 inch opening but the base takes about .25 inches. i use my lamp all the time and still have not replaced the bulbs! happy new year!

No it doesn't. Some lights come with them though so they can either hang or be a clamp lamp it just depends on the light.

Yes, you could place a C clamp under the desk and over the body of the light but it's not necessary. The base of the lamp is heavy enough that it does not shift.

yes, there is a good clamp that comes with it. Hubby (engineer) attached mine to the build in book shelf behind my cutting table, ( the cutting table folds) He did not have to do anything special to attach it. have had no problems with it. this is a great lamp. I love it.
