How does the lamp attach to the tank, and how long is the electrical cord?

This lamp doesn't attach to the tank on its own. You need a stand for it. I used a spare curtain rod bracket and hung mine from the wall just above the tank. the cord is about 4 feet long.

You will either need to purchase a separate lamp stand (Zoo Med sells one about $20 - $30 USD last I checked), set the lamp on top of a mesh tank cover, or I currently have mine hanging by a heavy command strip hook about 12" away from the top of my tank. It's not super sightly but it only cost 5 bucks. They do sell other heat lamps that have a clamp for attaching to the tank itself. The cord is about 6'-0" I believe. I hope this helps!

Our lamp sits on top of the tank, facing down(we have a screen cover) and the cord is not as long as one would wish about 3feet tops

The lamp actually can rest on the screen lid of the aquarium, it has a handle so it could be hung. The cord is like a normal length for lamp cords.

A lightbulb on the lid that's it. I recommend you go to Walmart and buy a similar tank. Much cheaper

It connects to a lamp shade support bracket, which is standard and comes with the lamp. It does not hook onto the light bulb directly, as some smaller lamp shades do.

Hi, Maybe I can help. The lamp plugs directly into the wall outlet via a very, very long circular, "lamp cord" with a three-pronged plug at the end. The lamp cord is about as thick as the one used by my cable company to wire my cable TV system. It is also less flexible than a typical lamp cord. To attach the lamp to the ceiling the company includes a metal hook that you screw directly into the ceiling, sort of like the hooks you use to hang a plant (only less decorative), AND a three inch long "S" shaped piece of plastic with a small hole at one end. To attach the lamp to the ceiling, first screw in the metal hook. Then, attach the "S" shaped plastic piece to the hook using the small hole on the end. Finally, you thread the lamp cord "in" and "out" of the "S" shaped piece of plastic. The lamp is held in place by the tension created by "threading" the lamp cord through the "S" shaped piece of plastic. Sorry for being "long-winded", but I hoped this helps. BTW, I use mine in my bedroom suspended above the end table with a 40 watt yellow light bulb, and I like it very much. Also, it is very utilitarian looking, not fancy. I happen to like that look.

This lamp plugs in. The cord is of reasonable length. It uses very, very little electricy.

You plug it in. The electrical power helps keep the water in the tank warm. I forget how long the cord is but it is as long as a cord for a vacuum cleaner.

It is built in to the base and there is just a black cord coming out of it. I was hesitant about buying this, but it puts out more light than my old halogen lamp and is cool to the touch. I have never regretted buying this.

42". When sitting on the seat, it is on your left and about 12" from the back of the tank. Just get a 3 prong extension cord if the outlet is too far away.

You will probably have to take the hood off. My 10-gallon is a glass 1/2 moon and has a clear plastic cover so that the light shines down through it. You clamp the light to the back of the tank. There should be a screw with the clamp. You place the clamp onto the glass/acrylic of your aquarium and then gently tighten the screw so that the clamp is secure. Then slide the lamp into place. Hope that helps!

It is wall mountable. It didnt come with hardware for wall but has hole on bottom of lamp to mount. Cord seems a standard lamp length. No way for me to measure right now but seems standard length

The itty bitty cord hangs down about 1 inch. The plastic junction at the top adds a 2nd inch, and the plastic covering the bulb socket adds about 2 more inches. All together, the light starts about 4 inches below the main wire.

This lamp is called a pin-in. Your will receive a mounting plate and screws to attached this to your surface. It does have a plug and cord.

There are three parts - the wall mount - the lamp with the electrical wire - and the set screw that fits in the wall mount and acts to tighten the lamp post to the wall mount - I looked for the set screw and found it hidden in the box. Good luck

The cord is aprox. 15' long and it is good grade and very suptle. Be aware that the on-off switch is aprox a foot from the plugin end. I bought another switch and rewired it so it is within reach of my chair so I can turn it off and on where it is more convient. The lamp is nice inspite of this small draw back.

If you mean the part where it plugs into the wall, its small. Not grounded so the same size as a normal lamp cord would be. If you mean the end where you screw in the lightbulb, it's barely bigger than the base of the lightbulb itself is. Very small cord but works quite well.

The electric cords from the lamps join together in a plastic yoke that appears unified. Connected from there is 5' cord that has a plug. If you wanted to separate the lamps from the pole, by removing the handle from the T frame. Then it could be used to position on the floor or large shelf. I like the unit over all.

It's about 2" deep (sticking out from the wall) by 3" tall and 2" wide. You'll also need to account from some space for the lamp plug going into the side of the unit as well. The picture shows it going into the bottom, but mine is on the right hand side. Perhaps it's an older design.
