I wanted a clamp lamp that I could pair with a 670nM red light bulb for vision therapy. Apparently red light in that wavelength can help reverse some of the symptoms of age-based vision degradation. Not sure if it actually works and I didn't want to shell out a bunch of money without some evidence so I decided to buy an inexpensive bulb and lamp as a proof of concept.

This is about the least expensive clamp lamp that you can find new, and it's as simple as a lamp can get. It's basically a clamp, a reflector, and a switch with a power cord. Perfect.

The clamp is held in place with a ball swivel that is attached with a 2-piece clamshell and wingnut. I disassembled this and greased the wingnut screw as well as the ball swivel. You don't have to do this but I find that it keeps the adjustment from galling and binding, and it makes adjustment much easier. I used Super Lube but just about anything will be better than nothing, though I'd pick something that doesn't stain clothes in case you brush up against it.

I also added some Super Lube to the base of the light bulb. I've had bulbs seize into lamps before and it can be a chore to remove them. A very thin film of Super Lube helps tremendously. You could also use dielectric compound or honest-to-God light bulb grease (yes, it's a real thing). Or you could use nothing at all and you'd probably be fine. It's your call.

This lamp is dead simple but I'm guessing it will last forever with LED bulbs since they draw very little current. The lamp itself is only rated for 60 watts so it wouldn't be a good idea to run a high-powered incandescent flood light in it, but for just about any LED bulb or incandescent at or below 60 watts it should be fine.

The switch clicks securely into the on and off positions, the reflector is highly polished and reflects lots of light, and the clamp is strong enough to hold the lamp securely in place. The cord is only 6 feet long but for me that's not an issue. If you need an extension cord, a light duty one will suffice since this lamp is rated for low power bulbs only.

For most uses this lamp will be fine and is an excellent value for the price.

I use these for Heat during Cold Snaps to keep my Backflow Valves from Freezing/Popping and to warm our plants! They work great with Incandescent Bulbs when under a Painters Drop Cloth or Tarp and the aluminum bells allows me to use these effectively and target an area for the best benefit!

When i opened the package the rim of the lamp was bent, may not be the shippers fault and probably happened during the shipping process, but it was bend and maybe it could be packaged in more protective packaging. I was able to make it circular again by bending it back myself. Other than that the product seems to be working great. I am using it to house a grow light for one of my plants. The clamp is not extremely strong but it almost always stays snug on whatever I clamp it to. Overall i'm happy with the product, if you decide to order take note of the different sizes you can order.

This little lamp is just what I expected, high quality, and has a switch right on the unit. :-)

Looking for simple light fixtures for my greenhouse.

I purchased 4 of these simple clamp on lights and they are ideal for what I wanted. With the right bulb, I get both the correct light as well as warmth for the greenhouse-it's less expensive to keep a light on than to keep a heater going!

I intend on purchasing a couple more of them for my light box to take photos of jewelry I sell on my eBay store..

I was using <$60.00 OTT lights to add the full spectrum light for plants and for lighting my 'light box' to take pictures of the things I sell on eBay.

These fixtures are way less expensive as well as my being able to find the exact bulb I need for which I wish to use them...Different lights for the 'light box' than for the greenhouse.

Though I probably can find the bulbs on Amazon, I choose to go to to "Batteries + and Bulbs" a chain store that has..well..batteries for everything and every bulbs you need. I received a plethora of info from the guys there about bulbs and for this one-on-one info I feel they deserve to get the buyer loyalty.

These fixtures are sturdy, inexpensive and quite practical. Exactly what I want.! I can see a plethora of uses for these clamp on fixtures...for lighting photography portraits and stills of product for a catalog is just the beginning. Spot lighting for Hallowe'en -we used it last nite (Oct 31) to sort with a black light on a couple of our decorations outside...How ever did I get along without these great fixtures??

These lamps are excellent quality for the price. I purchased 1 and liked it so much I bought a 2nd one. I am using them for grow lights for 4 seedling peach trees that I am growing.

The basic lamp assembly is very solid. The clamp holds firm yet it is easy to compress the clamp to move the lamp. The reflector is solidly mounted and it has ventilation holes so the reflector does not get hot.

I am very pleased with my purchase of these lamps. Once my peach trees are mature I will put these lights to work in my garage for when I need extra lighting.

I ordered this small 5.5" reflector light fixture to use with a plant grow bulb. I picked this Woods fixture because it looked just like the fixture that I had previously purchased at one of the local big-box home improvement stores. Comparing the two I can see that the quality is a lot different. For instance the metal that makes up the reflector on the Woods unit is very thin. So much so that just the jostling that the light received during shipping resulted in some deep dents in the surface of the metal. You can rub a fingernail lightly across the surface and make a crease. The rest of the components also look to be of lesser quality. I seriously doubt I'll be purchasing another one.

But don't get me wrong - the light fixture works adequately, and I don't see any safety issues in using it. I just rather buy something a little better built for the same price if I can.

Works great, long cord, plenty of light spread solid built and great price and perfect size for what i needed

Exactly what I was looking for. Sturdy construction, easy to take apart if you need to. Lightweight as well.

La rosca que une el socket con el proyector tiende a salir de su lugar con forme al uso (calor)

Works as advertised!

realy good
