how tall / far can it reach? I want a bedside lamp that will reach over the 6-12" gap between base &amp; book. Thank you.

If I understand your question correctly, I believe the lamp will meet your needs. The light bar is 12 inches long with a pivot where it attaches to the support arm; the support arm is 16-1/4 long and is pivoted where it attaches to the base. I use the lamp to illuminate the work space in front of an iMac. When the support arm is vertical and the light bar is horizontal, the light bar will be about 17" above the work surface and there is good illumination at least 24" from the base of the lamp. If you tilt the support arm forward at about a 45 degree angle and adjust the light bar so it's horizontal, the end of the light bar will be about 24" from the base and the bar will be about 14" above the work surface. In this position, the illumination of the work surface is very good out to about 36" measured from where the support arm attaches to the base. I am very pleased with the light. It fully satisfies my needs for what I use it for, which is to illuminate a work space in front of an iMac.

I just put a ruler under it, and came-up with 5.5 inches. I'm using it, right now! It's not 6.5 inches, and Horowitz wasn't very stoked, at all. You should buy this lamp!

You don't have to be too far away. It's a great little lamp. I got it for a bedroom for the grandchildren for sleepovers. I placed it on the night stand next to the bed. Also would be great if you should loose electricity.

I measure it at approx. 3-1/2". It clears my tallest music books with room to spare so there is no trouble turning pages. My lamp is mounted on a Kawai grand piano.

My experience is similar to that of JMG. I have my arc lamp extended the full 35 inches. It looks really good and is fully functional. I placed mine next to a chaise lounge where I do a lot of reading. I have had no problems with the base. If I extended the lamp less than 35 inches, it would not direct the light to the right place.

Hi actually I am yet to receive the lamp. My friend has it in the states. I was searching for some measurements she sent me but I couldn't find it. Sorry I couldn't help.

the table lamp from the base to the tip of the magnifying lamp part stretch out is 31 inches. The bendy rod (goose neck part) from the top of the base to the end of the magnifying lamp portion is 19 inches. I wish I could draw you a picture here

I'm so sorry, Gary. I bought that lamp for an apartment, and it's still there (I've moved). I'd guess it's 12 or 13 inches in diameter. Beautiful lamp with lots of cord.

It is not too big for a average size hard cover book but I think it will be too bright to have it so close to the page. I cant get it to dim just on and off.This is a very good lamp. I would buy it. It also has legs that pull out from the side

It is just shy of 10 inches from the bottom of the base to the top of the shade. I love the way it looks in my bookcase. It's not meant as a reading light, but more of an accent light. It puts a nice glow on a framed picture I have next to it. Hope this is helpful.

Hi. I got out my yardstick. The lamp measured from the base to the top of the shade is 9 1/2 inches. It 's tiny.

My lamp was 24 inches tall once finished. There is no much of a base because I put the post into the books.

Ok, my original answer was a totally wrong. This lamp hangs out about 6 feet from the base. You have to know that a portion of the rod is telescoped into the other part of the rod. Unscrew the end and you can pull out the telescope portion. Once I did that totally satisfied with this lamp and it is comparable to the $250 version I've seen in stores.

Hi. I'd have to go to my camper to measure the lamp, but I'd estimate that the circular base is approximately 3 inches in diameter. With the lamp mounted on the ceiling and the spot light fully extended downward, I'd estimate it's about four inches long. And the bulb itself is about 2.5 inches in diameter. (I think John M. Thompson's estimate is somewhat small, but I'm not measuring right now.) I like the lights a lot, but you should know that the light color is very white with a blue cast -- not like a halogen bulb.

It's as bright as any "real" candle. Personally I don't think it's suitable as a bedside lamp. Hard to say how many YOU might prefer for reading. Remember the base is about 3 1/2" in diameter so you'de need a fairly large nightstand. Also I think the flickering would get annoying. Abe may have done it, but I wouldn't recommend it at all. It may not bother you now, but you'll pay dearly for it in poor eyesight later in life.

The lamp is 40 inches tall at it's lowest point and will extend to 55 inches. This lamp is wonderful with all of the adjustments that you can do with the lamp part as well as the height adjustment. The only negative I have is the on/off switch is on the cord, but I have looped the cord over the slide adjustment for height so it is easy for me to reach. Hope this answers your question,

2.5" usable gap. The total is 2.75". I don't recommend this lamp. It doesn't stay in the place, where you want it. By tightening the screws, it helps with positioning, but it releases very soon.
