how thick a desk top will this lamp clamp onto? my desk is a 2 inches thick butcher block

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.

The clamp will just fit the edge of a 2" top, but I can't recommend using the included clamp. My top was also 2", and I found the clamp to be unreliable ... a few wiggles and the lamp comes loose and could fall. They offer an optional accessory clamp that I have not tested. I chose instead to bolt a piece of plywood to bottom of lamp-base, and then use 2 C-clamps to clamp the whole contraption firmly to counter-top. Otherwise, I like the lamp ... the lamp-housing is ventilated, preventing overheating of a CFL "bulb".

About 2 1/2 - 3 inches but the clamp spring is very stiff and requires a lot of pressure. I installed the lamp onthe plywood panel I have my laptop sitting on. While I really like the lamp, I wish I could buy a much shorter power cord. As it is now, the cord is just a big bunch of wire rolled up next to the laptop and just adds clutter.

After measuring my mount, 2.25" is needed for the back to be fully flush with the desk. The clamps are pretty sturdy though, so if you tighten them enough, I don't foresee any issues with stability. Regarding thickness, my desk is also about that thick, but it's solid wood so I feel comfortable with it. Physically, the mount will be able to clamp onto the desk, but it's up to you to decide if the material of the desk is strong enough to support the setup.

My lamp is open to 1 inch. I am able to open it to 2.5 inches, but the clamps are then at an angle and I am not sure that would work. If it is returnable, it would be worth ordering it to find out. It is attractive and the on/off switch is perfect.

There is plenty of adjustment on the clamp, which allows it to be attached to a thick table edge. Also the clamp is made very heavy duty to accommodate the weight of the lamp and its support arms. The lamp is very heavy and the design of the clamp is great to handle its load. Based on these assets, as long as you clamp it very tight, I would say yes.

It looks like you need at least 2 inches. It is very adjustable to table thickness but not depth. The two clamp rods have disks at their ends that are just under 2 inches wide. You could try cutting a small hole in the side of the desk and sliding the clamp in?

Yes, the clamp is included and is adjustable to be able to clamp onto a 2-3" thick table top.

So long as your desk has a 2 inch lip on the edge for the clamp to screw up into, yes it could be set up. As for whether or not it would damage your desk, I suppose it would depend on the strength and thickness of your glass. The clamp can clamp on as thin a surface as you need but the desk mount with the monitor does put a lot of pressure on the clamp because it's holding up weight so far away. The clamp is a 2 square inch area that holds all the weight reaching out at an upward angle. I don't know how much weight your monitor + desk mount would be or what kind of glass you have, so I can't make a suggestion as to whether it would fracture the glass.

I just realized that the lamp that I had was affixed to a desk that was one inch thick. I realize that this info does not answer your question; however, the 1 inch worked perfectly.

The "clamps" can open a bit more than 1", so it works well for my table, which is 3/4" thick. No way it can work directly with 2"-thick table.

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.

I plan on clamping it to my glass desk when it arrives. The glass is a hair more than 1/4" thick. I'm going to put a chunk of rubber or piece of wood or something to distribute the pressure. I think it will be fine.

For a secure fit you can get by if the flat U shaped underside clamp plate is fully underneath and that's 1.75"w by 4" long. If your desk lip underside is only 1.75" you'll have a little difficulty turning the knob to tighten it but I was able to get it done.

Yes! It will fit over anything up to 2 1/8" thick. The clamp is designed so that the moveable side pad stays parallel to the surface so that the clamp doesn't slide. The clamp spring has plenty of strength and the light field is even, not a spot or series of rings. I use this as a portable work light for precision work where no easily available lamp is available. A darned good light overall and rugged enough to serve some rough treatment.

I have used mine successfully on very odd shapes without the included corner pieces. Without seeing your lamp, however, I can only guess. If your lamp base is round without any strange protrusions, the this clamp should work. The key would be if pressure can be applied without twisting the band off the lamp base.

Part of the lamp base fits in the top of the desk and a part of the base fits under the lip of the desk. Simple tighten down both upper and lower base snugly against the desk. This works only on a desk that the top over laps the desk by an inch or so

I'm not certain. My lamp is attached to a flat desk. The clamp is very secure, but the lamp itself does have some weight to it that may cause some sliding or shifting to occur on a slant. Sorry I cannot give you a definite answer.
