Can the metal arm on the back be bent so it is laying flat? I'm looking to use the light on the top of a bookshelf.

It is pretty hard metal and might break...but one could cut it with a hacksaw and drill another hole to affix if one is handy and has the tools..certainly myself had no desire or occasion to try to bend it straight...

I have mine on the wall on top of a picture but you can not bend the arm . Hope this helps.

The light rotates 360 degrees so you'll be able to mount it on top of a bookshelf. We bought these and had ours done copying this website http://www.centsationalgirl.com/2013/01/besta-billy-brass-bookcases/

You can let it sit flat as shown in the picture, or it can be mounted under a shelf on on the wall two ways: a) using the double-side adhesive pad that comes with it, or b) using a screw and a slotted hole in the bottom of the light.

I had the same idea. I did get it to hang down a little further than this picture shows. But it is still just a slight bit tipped. The little piece at the top that angles downward and the lamp hangs from swivels too, so you can help adjust the angle that way.

Yes you can position the lamp to hang at a right angle. You can position it in a lot of ways.

Sadly, no. There are small flat pieces of metal and the adhesive is on those. The metal won't bend.:(

My mom uses it just that way. The lamp is very adjustable, also you can move part of it under the chair so the light can fold down when it is not in use.

The metal hoop can be bent if needed. I had to modify mine a little to accommodate a side mount light on the barrel.

That's straight up. I don't actually use it with it bent. The light covers a nice spectrum.

Yes you can bend the smaller light in any direction. It has one of those snake necks. I have mine turned upwards.

The arm is movable But the lamp is not flexible. Move the arm straight upward and the light will shine up.

yes they can easily be bent and are flexible too. we use them to stick led lights to the aluminum base of illuminated signs.

It is very easy to bend for exact placement - I will say that eventually the lamp needs a little lifting touch again because it will droop again over a long period of time, but it's hardly noticeable and very slow to droop. It is a very sturdy lamp. I still love it.

I think the lamp is weighted well. When I extend the arm out fully with the second (upper) pole on the same side of the main (bottom) pole as the head of the lamp, it does lean slightly, but it's still secure. To prevent the slight lean, I use the lamp with the second (upper) pole on the opposite side of the main (bottom pole) from the head of the lamp - this is how it's shown in the listing image here on Amazon. Hope that makes sense.

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.

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.

I put my foot on the base to readjust the angle etc. (bending the neck) Otherwise the handle, on the light lets me move it around easily. I have not had a tipping problem. I really love this lamp.
