My dome lamps don't have wires/brackets to hook on to stand, even though there are holes for them. How do I hook lamps up w/o them?

the reptile lamp stand has a plate at the bottom that slides under the tank to keep in place and also is adjustable both for the height and for the light that hooks on. if your light does not have the wire attached to it to hang you need to get one that does. unless you can buy just the bracket. the lamp does not cost a lot of $$$ and are so nice to have.

If your lights don't have the clamp or a wire loop then you won't be able to attach the lights... Most if not all lights for tanks have the clamp or wire loop, you could try to use a old wire coat hanger.... But you would have to find the right holes in the light for it, as you can't get the metal hanger in any of the electrical components.

My dome doesn't have hooks either and it's been impossible for me to find them. What I did was order a lamp clamp (i think the company was called the bean farm or something) and then used the hole in the clamp to go on the hook, and clamped the black grip pieces towards the back of the stand. I wish I could show you a picture for better reference

There are a few options for you. My heat lamp does not have a hanging bracket either, but does have a squeeze style clamp. I use the hook on the stand to hook the circular opening on the clamp & then squeeze the clamp to the arm of the stand. If your lamp has neither a hanging bracket nor a squeeze clamp, I would suggest carefully drilling some mounting holes on either side of your reflector dish and use some wire (old hanger) to fashion a bracket to hang your lamp. Either way, these stands work great & offer the adjust-ability and stability to fit a wide range of tanks & enclosures.

Mine didn't either but I used zip-ties/twisty ties to hold the cord. To keep the weigh on the stand, I used a unused bag of fish rocks.

Yeah you can put a lamp cord or a better answer of the thickness is a cable wire will fit but you have to be careful when putting it in so it won't break

Yes, the type of lamps that I have is that the shade sits on top and I have a knob that I have to use to screwed my shade on. I hope this has been helpful. This shade is not the type of shade that has the prongs where you can just sit it on your light bulb.

Theres wire hangers on each side that should let u hang it vertically. I knw i would do it that way if i used lights like that. If u measure right u can use both hangers instead of letting it hang from the one which one should hold it just fine. Hopefully this answers your question. Feel free to ask any other questions if u need to.

I had it install by a handyman I now. What he did was drill a hold into the stucco for the wires to go thru and also for the mounting screws. He push the wires thru along with the mtg screw. On the inside he mounting a bracket that would mount to the mounting screws and hold the light fixture in place. After that is was just a matter of hooking the wires. I hope that hleps.

Mine hangs from a lamp kit. It's fairly precarious, the pieces simply make a shell, no inner support at all.

Sorry, I didn't do that on mine, needed the headlamps replaced since both lamps were fogged out by UV rays from the sun, perfect for my use. I'll look into it for adjustments.

youd have to do some macgyvering to get that to work. i assume the bulbs upside down. i supose u could if it hangs on a chord but it would look kind of ghetto. plus youd have to make sure the bulb doesnt touch the shade. good luck with that one.

Hello, It's been a while since I did the lamps but I believe the cord comes out of the bottom not the side. My lamps were all alabaster and I simply threaded the cord through the length of it and it came out at the bottom in the center. I don't think this would work if the cord came out of the side on the top and then was outside the body of the lamp. Hope that helps!

There are two triangle shaped hangers on the top of the light . I used wire ties and a wood rod. The light isn't very heavy and it worked fine.

You will have to attach a cord with a plug on it to the wires on the back of the lamp assembly. Ideally, it should be wall mounted and wired to a circuit with a switch.

I had them installed for me. And your right they did have some trouble also. They are up and I do like the lamps I have used them in two rooms andthey work well. I believe it was the wall bracket bar that the lamps screw into that he had to adjust. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

You don't. There are no bulbs, just three rows of LEDs behind a bezel. These are not user accessible afaik.As the lamp is rated for 50,000 hours run time, that should not pose any problem.

The stands have a standard mounting pin. The light I bought had a u bracket with a mounting boss at the bottom that had a standard mounting hole and it worked on fine. It you you tell me what light it is or send me a link to it I am sure I could more accurately answer your question.

At the bottom of each lamp is a bolt and nut, so long as you have something with a hole in it you can mount it. There are no brackets needed. Each lamps mount also has a bolt that you can loosen to adjust the angle. There is no mounting hardware for the switch needed other than the included double sided sticky tape.

Hi Bob,I can't think of any reason you couldn't wire in a lamp cord. Use a ground wire since there is a grounding nut you can use.

On my lamp, there are two brackets mounted to the base of the bulb socket. They rise up on either side and around the bulb and come together above the bulb, form a little platform to which the shade is attached by a finial which screws into the platform.
