Is it sturdy enough to attach (clamp) a mag lamp to it?

The steamer looks sturdy but I'm not sure if you could attach a mag lamp. Sorry about that.

No I don't think it is strong enough to add anything. I'm only keeping it as a back up. Very cheap piece of equipment.

don't know. but, i have noticed this lamps base is not heavy enough to support the lamp when placed in certain positions.

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.

It's stiff enough to hold arbitrary shapes within its range of (unsprung) motion. The lamp head weighs almost nothing, so if you can get the head where you want it, it will stay. Almost all these light coil positioners work fine, as long as they don't have to hold much weight. (OTOH, these particular lights failed within weeks, flickering and dimming to uselessness, so look elsewhere.

I believe it will be sufficient. The light has four modes and each mode has 5 brightness settings So if you keep it on "reading" mode and with a #5 brightness that should do it. However if you are doing very tiny & close up work or have poor vision you might want to consider getting a magnifier workbench lamp with a clamp.

I bolted a 2x4 to the non-movable frame of my tilting drafting table, and then clamped the lamp to that. That works OK. If it were attached to the movable table top, raising or lowering the top could unbalance the lamp.

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

I would say no as the lamp is (in my opinion) rather flimsily made. I returned mine since the stand came bent and could not even be put together.

Yes. There's a post on the bottom of the lamp that fits a hole in the clamp. The clamp is superior to what is included with the lamp

It would loom better with having something in base of lamp. Hope this helps.

I really do not think so. A lamp a few knick knacks. It looks really nice. At this price tho, would not trust it to hold anything that heavy.

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.

The maximum useable opening for the metal clamp for this lamp is slightly over 2 inches, so it is theoretically possible it might work. Be sure you are purchasing the metal clamp made for this product, not the plastic version.

I believe so long as you have a cylindrical seat post, the clamp should be able to work well enough to hold the light in position.

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.

The clamp is metal and it is a good thing as the glass is quite heavy so I am sure anything less than metal would definitely not work. I ordered a spare lamp/bulb with mine as I do not want to be without this unit! I pan gold under it daily and would go stir crazy if I could not enjoy this hobby!

The base will support the weight of the lamp as long as the entire base is resting on a horizontal flat surface. The arm of the lamp will extend approximately 24 inches from the point at which the arm is connected to the base. When the is done, the arm is approximately 6 inches above the surface of the desk. So the way the question was phrased, I am not sure that your question was answered in total. But yes, if used properly the lamp will not tip.
