I'm looking for something that will stick to the ceiling and hold a lamp. Will this work?

Definitely NOT NOT NOT. That is for a picture. I usually use something like OOK 50330 Jumbo Swag Hook with Hardware, White or a swivel hook. And try to put it in a beam by screwing it directly in. Easy that way. Just put a tiny dent in the ceiling to get the screw started. and tighten it. When it gets hard to tighten, use a screw driver and lever it in between the screw and turn it around and around until it is all the way in. Got to be a beam or piece of wood in your ceiling. Find one with a string and a magnet or a stud finder.

Yes it will work well for any kind of lamp. or other device that yo need to turn on

I doubt it would work as-is. You would probably need to mount a cheap bracket on the ceiling to keep it from sliding. I'm sure it can be done quickly and very cheap.

There were two "hooks" that one can put on the cord and then was able to suspend them from hooks that I already had in the ceiling from the lamp this one replaced. The weight of the lamp is supported by the cord.

I bought them for table lamps and it seems to me that hanging them would be tricky. Certainly would not be a good idea to hang them by the electric cord.

Grisselle, I don't have the lamp you have so I cannot be sure. However, I would suspect the bulb to not be bright enough for a hanging work lamp. It appears to be a similar design, but; if you want an exact replacement for your lamp go to http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200323694_200323694 for the recommended replacement.

Should not be a problem. The unit is light and the mounting holes should be strong enough to hold it on a ceiling. You might want to put a metal washer between the screw/bolt head to ensure the head doesn't cause too much stress on the plastic.

Yes, I bought it for exactly that light and it holds it well, due to it's weight I'm pretty sure it wouldn't stay in if you're hanging upside down, but short of that, it holds it well.

if it does not go tight inside the can take the arms on the light and bending more straight it should hold tight to the ceiling

I did not put mine in ceiling tiles, but the clips that hold the light in should work with anything between 1/2inch through 1 inch. The lights don't weigh much so I think that dropped ceiling tiles could easily hold the weight. If you are worried about the weight you could always take the tile out and put a thin piece of plywood on the back side to distribute the wight a little more. I am not a woodworker or home-builder, I put ten of these in and it was easy.

It is called a Edison base. Any light bulb with an Edison base will work. The extension will not support any weight. So for practical use it must hang downward.

It's stiff enough to hold arbitrary shapes within its range of (unsprung) motion. The lamp head weighs almost nothing, so if you can get the head where you want it, it will stay. Almost all these light coil positioners work fine, as long as they don't have to hold much weight. (OTOH, these particular lights failed within weeks, flickering and dimming to uselessness, so look elsewhere.

I would think the answer to be "Yes" from a ceiling electrical box but likely not so froma wall box as you will need to fashion and elbow linkage whether the light shines up or hangs down.It offers many possible configurations and is a very good value item to hang in variety of ways. Blue

Probably not. It screws into the ceiling so it will need to anchor to something.

It works with any fixture that has a hook at each end. Fixture length doesn't matter. The other hook attaches to your ceiling or whatever you intend to support the fixture with. I bought #10 screwhooks from Home Depot to attach to the ceiling. Once hung the light height can be finely adjusted up by pulling the cord through the ratchet or down by releasing the ratchet.

Not sure. It has adhesive on the back, but not sure it would hold from the ceiling. Sorry I can be more help.

The problem is not with the clamp where it attaches to your fixture, the problem is at the end where the clamp attaches to the lamp and lampshade. That part is so weak it will not support the weight of the lamp or lampshade so whenever you try to position it, it sags. The clamp attaches to the lamp body with some kind of screw type latch, and it is what is flimsy and weak for the weight it should be able to support. Now if you plan to use the clam where the lamp hangs upside down, then I this weakness will work for you. But I say, Don't buy it. Let the manufacturer make it work correctly, cause right now It sucks. Even the lampshade is flimsy, and can bend or dent easily.
