If the base doesn't swivel, does the maple leaf detach from the existing base so I could re-attach to a swivel?

The base does not swivel. Yes, it will detach to mount on to a different base.I hope this helps.

The leaf swivels, I have not looked to see if it will detach but I believe it will

it does swivel. it's also casts a very pretty light. just as an fyi, I ordered two of the them, and one just stopped working, so I had to throw it away. the other one is working fine though.also, the maple leaf does not detach from the existing base.

The base is required as it contains the electronis to operate the lamp. The lamp swivels. You could use a squeeze clamp (hardware store) to clamp the base to a headboard.

Hi, I put this swivel base as a replacement to one that broke on a swivel rocking chair I have. The quality is pretty good. The diameter should be the same or slightly smaller then the width of your base. I used carriage bolts and nyloc nuts. I've had no problems with this base since I installed it earlier this year. Hope this helps.

The swivel bottom came already mounted to the base of the unit and since I wanted the unit to swivel I didn't really note how the part was attached to the base but let me state that the swivel is not one that just easily moves about. I would say based on the weight of the items you have on the unit determines the movement of the swivel. I have a 32" TV, a 32" soundbar, a cable provider box and a disc player. I have to make it a point to move the swivel unit by any degree. I have been very pleased with this item, hope this helps.

I believe mine swivelled when I first got it. You need to tighten the screw a bit. Not too much or you will not get the spring motion. The head should swivel maybe a 1/4" from side to side. I tightened mine too much when I first got it and it didn't have the spring in/out motion. I adjusted the screw and it's been fine ever since.

I just tried to move it to do just that & it does swivel. I love mine. It lasted almost 4 years before it developed a leak. I'm having a new one installed in the next few weeks.

My husband installed the new swivel base in a short amount of time. He had to make some adjustments I believe, but nothing drastic!

Yes. Right into that hole between the 2 screws. You can see it in the picture. Picture number 3 clearly shows a swivel plugged in. Previous guy that answered you is wrong. Probably doesn't own one. I however, do.

To be honest with you I haven't tried, I do know it detaches really easy from the main unit. I am really impressed with this unit though. Hope that was helpful

Michael - I just looked a technical specs from another site and the base does not swivel. I had the same question. Swivel bases are ideal!

Yes it does swivel around and it swivels up and down. It has a 1/4 inch screw for attachement to the base.

No this model the base doesn't detach it is not meant to be taken out of the car once it is installed check the 30/30 we had that one then bought this one after he outgrew the 30/30

Nope. However if you really do want to detach it, I'd recommend a heavy pair of scissors. Fixing it back would require glue I suppose.

Sorry I'm just now answering you. It does not look like you could attach anything else to the base.

No. Spinning the top (or any section) unscrews the whole thing. And any slight turn of any part makes the whole thing unstable and flimsy.

Yes, But both bases are screwed to something. It is the middle two inch bar that allows whatever you have mounted on one end to swivel. Each base has a round ball cap. The middle bar squeezes over each ball and the twist knob on the side is what tightens up the middle bar onto the ball ends. Therefore whatever you have mounted, say an iPad , can be twisted right, left , up, down, or twirled in a 360* circle.

Mine came with enough tension such that it would not swivel unless tapped (with no socket attached) or moved by hand. There is a giant hex head bolt going through the swivel that you could probably tighten to adjust tension.
