Can this lamp stand up on its own on a desk, rather than being clamped to something?

It will but it's not meant for it. if you put the lamp all the way to one side it will tip. It's really only good in the frontal arc over the batteries.i was able to get it maybe 45 degrees off center, which made it wobbly.

Yes, the clamp is large and flat, and able to support the lamp by itself on a desktop.

Yes, I use it on my desk. You can put 4xAA in the base to give it some weight. If you have the USB cord plugged in, it will not drain the batteries. The LEDs have 3 settings by pushing the button on the base.

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

I would say it's a matter of degree. I mean even IF you put four double "A" batteries in it you would cut down it's flexibility and found the position where it would stand up on it's own, that position would be about the only simi-stable position you could use it in. You would be very restricted in it's flexibility without it becoming unstable.BUT .... if you had no way to clamp it down to your computer ..... computer cooling rack, etc. I would find a heavy enoughbook for stability and clamp it to that and position it close to your computer keyboard to be effective and still maintain it's excellent adjustability. Hope this helped. I would say it's a matter of degree.

Yes the neck is flexible and you can move it without holding the base as long as you aren't rough.I like this lamp a lot. It's sturdy. No batteries required. You just need to charge it as you would a phone or tablet.

There appear to be several versions of this lamp. Mine has a metal clamp with no padding and a sturdy plastic cone for the unit to fit into. I can remove the lamp without removing the clamp from the bench. Even though the cone is plastic, it appears very strong.

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.

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.

Yes it can..the clamp is one piece in the lamp goes into the clamp with a screw hole to keep it stable. So you're good to go

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.

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

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.

No..I tried but it's all attached where the light bulb goes. It's also kinda flimsy not my favorite part of this lamp. Also the lighting is very dim/low, its for decor purposes only not lighting.

I would say the quick answer is no. Of course I'm sure there is a way that it can be done if it were absolutely necessary. Something would have to be attached to the wall first and then the lamp could be clamped to that, it would definetely restrict the movement of the lamp arm, so I would not advise doing this.

The lamp has a built in clamp that works quite well. You do not need an additional clamp.

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.

A question for the manufacturer, I suspect, as I saw nothing in the online data to suggested a weighted base exists. I wanted a wall-mount so I screwed a 1.5 x 1.5 x 6" block to the wall horizontally, and clamped the lamp to the block.If your desktop is truly too deep for the clamp, you might try screwing a block to the back of the desk and clamping to the block.

To some degree, but only downward, I think that if it were to be more flexible, it may not be able to stay in a certain position.Hope that helps, over all my kids love this lamp, exellent for homework.

The original question has been adequately answered, but I have a further observation. It is a nice lamp, but the base is small, and the lamp is inclined to tip when being switched on and off. I glued the lamp to a round piece of stained and varnished plywood (5" or 6" diameter) with thin felt glued on the bottom. It works.

The clamp will affix to any width, it just needs to be strong enough to hold the weight. I do not believe the lamp rotates side to side, just up and down. All-in-all, if I had to do it again, I would buy a different lamp. I hope this helps.
