How heavy of a light will this safely hold?

Timothy, I am not sure if what kind of light your referencing, but I suspect the stand could hold something around a 1lbs. It's steel construction, about 1/4" tube steel with a base that sits under your aquarium and had tension knobs to adjust for height and reach.

I have a mini dual lamp hanging on the end and a single lamp about half way. The stand holds them just fine. :-)

mine holds the double dome no problem. the base is large and metal. If you tuck it under the terrarium or box or pot or whatever you want to light up then it will also stay stable.

I currently have a double Zoo Med lamp, but the further out u extend the arm, the base is unbalanced. I have to place some wright on it so it doesn't crash into my turtle tank.

I currently have the dome light with the 9 inch base and a mercury vapor bulb it holds it easily, not sure of the exact weight.

It's about 3/4 inch, but the springs are very strong and would probably hold just fine if the light was slipped into the end of a cylinder (pipe). I

That would depend on whether or not there is a frame of some sort capable of supporting the lamp. They are not very heavy.

While I don't believe it would readily hold the weight of a person, I have a photo copy stand and lights on mine and it works just dandy.

Definitely! This is a good strong and heavy softbox. I wouldn't use anything but a heavy duty lightstand with any monolight I own.

No it doesn't. And people aren't lying when saying this thing is HEAVY, which would be great if virtually any light stand out there would be capable of supporting it adequately. Unfortunately, most aren't...and this thing will cause your stands to bend and sway. It's much more substantial than it looks in the pics.

It's not rated and I don't know the weight limit, but it easily will support a studio light with modifier. The most important consideration is that it is mounted correctly to a surface that will support the weight.

I just have it held up by the canopy of the chandelier. It is very lightweight and my chandelier is fairly substantial. This leaves the option to take it with you if you move as well.

it is kind of strong. I bought a "Collapsible Softbox Light Modifier for On - Camera", it fits right on the bulb and softens the light.

I have a good sized table lamp on mine. It's just an educated guess, but I'd say you're safe with 5-10 lbs. it could probably support more, but I wouldn't push the limits of the glass.

Mighty Bright has a product that makes it sit more securely on a hard surface. It's called the light cradle. It measures about 3 x 4 inches. You place the base of the light into it. It's held in place by a small clip and because its "footprint" is considerably larger than that of the base, it makes the light much more stable. At around $7.00, I think it's a reasonably priced, useful addition to the light.

Hi R.B., This lamp weighs approximately 22 pounds. I hope you find this information helpful. - Crystal, Plow & Hearth Customer Service

I have 25bs of lighting hanging from one set. These are very sturdy and the ratchet lock works great. I would easily trust 50 lbs of weight on a set. Hope that helps.

It will stand up on its own, but the whole light is very lightweight and it would not take much to knock it over.

As long as you distribute the weight it should hold 9 lbs. If note, this glass sits inside of most plastic rimed tanks so you may still be able to set the light on the sides of the tank rather than the glass. May also help with heat dissipation.

Yes I have several lights hanging on mine and some very heavy ones at that. It's solid steel. It will support it. It's not going anywhere. The only thing is, make sure to get C clamps instead of O clamps. The pipes are only an inch wide instead of the usual inch and a half-2in.

I bought six of these chains & used them to hang some pretty, big heavy hanging plants & I had no problem. If I were to guess, I'd say anywhere from 1 to 5 or six pounds should be safe.
