Is the base weighted so it can sit on a hard surface instead of being clipped to something? And how long is the neck?

No, the base is not weighted; you have to use the clip. The neck is seven inches long.

Yes, the base can sit on a hard surface, as long as the neck with the two lights(I love this feature!)is extended forward..I just always clamp it to my book at night for reading. The neck itself is 7 1/2" long, and attached to this neck is the 2" light switch!!!!!!!!!! I hope this helps. I was hesitant, (I had the Spike light and was very happy wiith it, until it broke). On that older one, I had to change batteries a lot. No battery change need on this delightful bright light!!!!

Saw the other answer saying no. If that's referring to whether or not it can "sit on a hard surface", I'd have to disagree. Tried it and have it sitting on my DR table all by its lonesome:) Neck outstretched is approx. 7 1/2" from where it meets the clip to the base of the bulbs.

Essentially no, the light and arm reposition easily, and overbalance the light plastic base.If you install the 3 AAA batteries, this is improved, but it still does not "stand" easily.

Mighty Bright has a product that makes it sit more securely on a hard surface. It's called the light cradle. It measures about 3 x 4 inches. You place the base of the light into it. It's held in place by a small clip and because its "footprint" is considerably larger than that of the base, it makes the light much more stable. At around $7.00, I think it's a reasonably priced, useful addition to the light.

I can not give you an exact weight but in my opinion it is not heavy the center part is light and soft the outside edge has about 1/2 to 3/4 inch band around it that has small beads in it to weigh it down a little so it stays in place and there is a small magnet to keep the two side flaps in place around your neck. My neck is a little large and it fits tight but you do not have to keep them snapped it stays in place without that. Hope this helps.

I don't know, but it is "neck heavy", you'll probably need to attach the guitar strap above the "peghead" to help counter balance it, or attach a small pouch of weights to the bridge "end pin" to help counter-balance the weight of the neck. I've seen that done a few times on Pete Seeger model long neck banjos

Not really because it doesn't go around behind your neck; it sits on your shoulder. I dislike U-shaped ones because of the forward head push so this worked better than those. However, I do wish that there was a sturdier infrastructure because the weight of my head was too much for the stuffing after awhile and my head would fall forward. Overall, I don't regret buying it but it wasn't the perfect thing I was hoping for. So close though!

The base is quite heavy. I cannot make the lamp fall over no matter how the goose neck is positioned.

It seems like it could handle some heavy weight but it is tall and thin in stature so it seems to me it could tip. That's just a thought for you to consider.

The plate itself is very heavy and the handle is light. You dont have to worry about tipping over.

Well doug, it weighs about 65 pounds but its not centeralized its spread out evenly over the entire body. If you have a thick leather belt around the wast it should talk the load off and feel almost like nothing for a few hours

The neck on mine is quite strong. I use mine on my bed headboard. There is one issue with that however, if you twist the light head around 180 degrees so you can clip it to a headboard, the neck does get stuck at about 140 degrees, so the neck was not made to easily swivel around.

No, the base is not weighted. That is the number one weakness of this, and most, globes in this price range.

I would assume the weight of being on the base vs. the clamps would not affect the functionality of sitting and standing.

it weighs about 50lbs. the base is medal but does not secure to anything. When traveling the base does not move even when you are sitting in it. I love it. Very comfortable and not bulky. If you have to secure it, I would think you could drill a hole through the base. The base is not flat. It is more of a low cone shape.

It's a mic stand. It's got a standard 5/8 threaded mounting configuration like all mic stands. The shaft is adjustable upwards from the image of the item. If your issue is the stability of the item, the base weighs about 2 pounds, and seems quite stable, especially at the lowest height setting. It would take quite of bit of weight and a lot of leverage to tip this over IMO.

It is cumbersom because of its size and it weighs 40 pounds. I use it for my large male clients and often ask them to carry it. I can carry it, but it does take strength. I am 5 feet 8 inches tall and weigh 160.

In my experience, it sinks down on a softer surface. It is not a very stable chair, be careful.

Jane, its not very heavy but everything is relative. The plastice box that attaches to the collar holds a small circuit board and two AAA batteries to give you an idea of how much it will weigh. What I think would be more problematic is adjusting the collar enough to stay on a small dog's neck. I would estimate the collar can be adjusted down to about ten inches at most so you can measure the circumference of your dog's collar to get an idea if it will. Hope this helps.

I didn't weigh it, but it is pretty large and pretty sturdy. Some of that weight may be packaging and dunnage. We use the box at the stable to hold tack and it works well for that, but I wish it had a lift out tray for small tools and such. It is sturdy enough to sit on. We use the key lock in the middle because the tabs on the front at each end for padlocks are too far toward the ends. Someone might try prying up the unlocked end. The center lock works well.
