Clip-on lamps allow light to be directed anywhere you need it, are compact, stylish and can attach almost anywhere. Any hobby or student desk can benefit from a gooseneck light source.

Clip on lamps feature a strong clip that can stay attached to the surface even as the lamp is being adjusted. Portable lamps are great for additional lighting where you need it and they are easy to position to illuminate your work area.

A desk, headboard, or reading lamp with attached clip takes up a limited amount of space, often comes in a solid plastic, satin steel, or all-metal construction, and finished in blacks, whites, to metallic colors.

The flexible arm or pole extends some nine to eighteen inches by half inch in diameter, while a shade if featured can measure up to six inches in diameter – the material of these shades in often plastic. In addition, depending on the level of brightness required, a lamp can accept a cost saving 13-watt bulb to a 40-60 watt bulb for more intensity.

For instant lighting in nearly any position consider a durable, plastic mini clip on lamp, which takes a 25w bulb and provides inexpensive light wherever you need it.

Features often seen with these lamps include a flexible gooseneck (offers ease in directing light), a clamp or grip that’s slip resistant, 10 to 15 feet of cord, convenient on – off switch, and secures to most flat surfaces – often up to 2-1/2-inch thick.

Lamps that are powered by batteries allow you to place the lamp regardless of power source or the location of an electrical outlet which frees you up to add light wherever you need it.

All in all, a headboard lamp, clip on desk lamp, or a clamp-on reading light is perfect to generate an instant source of light in most situations. An ideal lamp to locate on a compact work area or desk top where free-space is often at a premium.
