I have a brass bed with tubes as backboard , Will this lamp grip or is it too top heavy ?

I was very disappointed because no matter which portion of my headboard I put the lamp on it tipped over because the lamp part is so much heavier than the clip part. The clip DOES grab tightly to the rail, but then the lamp begins to tip over. It's a very poor design.

The clamp - at its widest opening - is about 3 inches and has rubber tips on the inner grip. The lamp is a little under two pounds. I have mine attached to a flat, wooden surface. I really don't know how it will work on a metallic tube shape that might be somewhat slippery. The grip seems fine for my purpose.

Depending on how you place the lamp will determine if it will work on a thin piece of metal. I know the type you are talking about and this should work for you. If you find that it bends the metal just adjust the angle so that it doesn't get "top heavy". It is a very good clamp and holds very well, just keep in mind that the whole unit does have some weight, however, I am sure it will work fine for you.

Yes I use it as a reading lamp and have had no problem at all with it supporting the head it is not very heavy holds it's shape well.

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 have on mine a large lamp, candles, candy dish, etc. and could hold more so 4 pounds will work.

I think it'd be ok. I have one similar to my queen size bed and it looks fine. I have a lamp on it

I would guess that a brass headboard might take two tubes. It is hard to say. The creme comes in a larger size.

No, not really, unless the clamps were super padded, could you clamp this lamp to a headboard. You might come up with some other "MacGwyver" way to accomplish.

I drilled a hole in my workbench and put brass bushing in it for the pivot and it works perfectly. I have not had a problem the lamp holding position. Good value, works well.

as long as you keep the lamp within 25 inches of the base, you'll be fine. Just be sure to really tighten the flathead screws that hold the joints together. out of the box they can be pretty loose

To attach lamp on top, you must a round base lamp. This can secured with tension screws included in the lamp kit. You should be able to slide the Portsmouth post over the existing metal lamp post. Snug the new post to one side of the post and attach with screws. Hope this helps....we were well pleased with the end results. Feel free to contact me again Scott

It's pretty heavy. You will need to mount it directly to your bars. If you have 25.4 or 26.0 bars and need to use the rubber adapters that come with it, you will notice the beam shaking. 31.8 no problem. Not a big deal for most, but something that drives me crazy. It also has to go on top of your bars and takes up quite a bit of space. Either way, however, I love this light.

The clamp will just fit the edge of a 2" top, but I can't recommend using the included clamp. My top was also 2", and I found the clamp to be unreliable ... a few wiggles and the lamp comes loose and could fall. They offer an optional accessory clamp that I have not tested. I chose instead to bolt a piece of plywood to bottom of lamp-base, and then use 2 C-clamps to clamp the whole contraption firmly to counter-top. Otherwise, I like the lamp ... the lamp-housing is ventilated, preventing overheating of a CFL "bulb".

I really do not think so. A lamp a few knick knacks. It looks really nice. At this price tho, would not trust it to hold anything that heavy.

This is a very lightweight lamp. I agree with the poster that says you can move it downward to some degree without the base moving. However, when you tilt the lamp back up the base will move. In that case it would need to be stabilized by holding it down with your other hand. Nice lamp, but it does not have a heavy base.

You have to make a hole. The lamp comes with a "molley" hook. You have to make a hole and the "molley" part spreads out inside the ceiling so the hook does not come out. Thus it can hold heavy items. The lamp is not heavy but you want to be sure that it doesn't pull out and fall on someone!

I'm not certain. My lamp is attached to a flat desk. The clamp is very secure, but the lamp itself does have some weight to it that may cause some sliding or shifting to occur on a slant. Sorry I cannot give you a definite answer.
