how far beyond base can magnifier extend before tipping?

It can extend about 6 inches and does not tip. This is a great light with good magnification and includes an even greater (small area) magnification for times when you really need to focus close. We just took a splinter out that could not have been seen without this light.

HI - Mine has never tipped over. The base is solid and holds it in place. My elderly friend loves this, and can move it around to do her jewelry making again.I highly recommend it.

The one I ordered has a very strong magnifier, and will work for cross stitch. It will not tip, the base is heavy and the wheels make it easy to move. I have not used it on carpeting, which could make it a litter harder to move, one just has to be careful. I use mine on a hard surface. The magnifier arm stays put and the the light is just great. I use mine when I am sewing. The only thing I think could be improved is the lid which covers the magnifier, it would be better if it would lay flat when opened. I use my daily and I like it.

That's what I do; for all my shop lamps and magnifiers. Just drill a 1/2" hole (measure to be sure), wrap a turn or two of electrical tape around the post, if needed. Drop a 1/2" steel washer into the hole so that the lamp swivels smoothly. BE SURE NOT TO DRILL TO DEEP!

When the lamp is at a right angle (ie parallel to the floor) - approx 41" above the floor. The lamp can be adjusted (at an angle) another 12" up or down.

I make all my adjustments by holding the base with one hand, ie. the lamp from the double bar that supports the lamp, then with the other hand move the lamp up or down or side to side; for the magnifier and theclip, hold the flexible arm attached at the opposite end of the clip or magnifier, then, make the adjustments by moving the flexible arm up or down or side to side and twisting the magnifier or the clip to the position you want with the other hand.

Yes. Set distance from object then twist end to focus. The closer to object one is, the higher one can magnify to. White cup on tip seems to bring about 20-50ish magnification. Need to take tip off to get closer for higher magnification.

Don't know how they figured that height. I think they feel that it will adjust to five feet easily as neck of light is long and very flexible. I am over six feet tall and sitting down, my lamp is adjusted to a little under five feet. If bent straight up then light will not be shining downward for reading.

The base is heavy enough that you can put the magnifying glass and the light at nearly any angle and it won't tip over. I use it for jewelry making and usually put the jewelry under the glass and the light coming from the side.

The magnifier drops out of the way most likely will not cause you a problem I will look at mine but you probably can turn the mount around

Yes, but I have mine all the way extended and it does not come out too far. I would actually like it out farther. As for the base issue- I used a small rubber doorstop under the front and it works perfectly. I love this lamp! It looks very stylish especially when lit, and I've received many compliments on it.

I think it depends on the distance. The base is pretty substantial, I doubt it would tip unless it was super extended

The magnifier is very stable...no problem there, but, though it will go real low, the flexible ajustment is very unstable(it is not stiff at all). It is dificult to get it to stay in any usefull position when adjusted to low positions...not so great up high either, but, usable at least.

Hello Rick,The manufacturer indicates they will adjust from 16" to 24". They don't offer a tip to tip measurement.Thanks for the inquiry.

The 1.5 inches long wouldn't be a problem, but this clamp is meant for lamps where the attachment has a diameter of just under 0.5 inches. That's about the size of a sharpie marker, just a bit bigger than a pencil. If your magnifying light has a 1.2 inch diameter attachment, that is HUGE (about the size of a weight-lifting barbell), and will need a specialized clamp. Sorry.

For full purchase, the screw attachments for the lamp require 1 3/4 inches of vertical clearance. So attaching it to a 2 inch vertical would put it near the edge.

The bottom of the shade on my lamp is at about 72". The arc of the extension tube goes higher. There are two possible adjustment locations, one on the base and one on the tube, but I don't know how that affects the height.

9 1/2 inch fully extended. You can add 1/2 inch for the fixture after installation.
