Many have said that the neck of the lamp wont support the head of this lamp. Will it stand up like in the photo?

Yes. The one I bought was put on a pulpit in church, and it has been rock steady in a horizontal position for 6 months.

Yes it will hold that position. However, if you attach the clip in any other position it will only do the displayed position. I clip mine onto my headboard with the clip in a horizontal position. The neck will come straight out of the clip. It would be nice if the neck were a bit more flexible and stable. I like then dim switch and it works for me.

Works beautifully! Fastened the one I bought to a shelf above my desk. I'm thinking about purchasing another for the headboard of my bed. Well worth the money.

Yes, the neck is very sturdy. I've got mine mounted vertically on a headboard. The light stays in any position whatsoever and I move it a lot.

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.

The lamp is more over the shoulder, not over head in height. It would be very close to persons head if attempted as you described.

I don't have any issues with the lamp (so far) I love it. Maybe you can return and get another one, well worth it.

When lowering the neck, the base is wide enough to stay in place by itself. When raising the neck, you need to hold the base with one hand while moving the neck with the other hand. And sometimes the lamp goes out while doing this, so you need to turn it back on. One time I had to unplug the power cord and re-plug it in.

I found that the lamp did not bounce on my head strap. However, depending upon where you place the lamp on your head, for example on your forehead or further back the lamp may pivot. This happened a couple of times when I had it on my forehead, but when I placed it back more on my head it wouldn't happen. Hope this helps

Hi Joe X...I am 5' tall and the lamp comes up to my nose when the head is bent...Love that lamp!

If you are meaning that you want the lamp piece itself to stand straight, it is not that kind of lamp. If you mean, that the lamp base is causing the lamp to lean and not stand straight, please look at how your base is situated. You may need to place it on a more even surface, or place something under one side to straighten it. Please clarify what you mean and perhaps I can be of more help.

No it doesn't. And people aren't lying when saying this thing is HEAVY, which would be great if virtually any light stand out there would be capable of supporting it adequately. Unfortunately, most aren't...and this thing will cause your stands to bend and sway. It's much more substantial than it looks in the pics.

No, neck is not flexible. You can only position it upside or downside. I returned it because a regular light bulb is better than it's LEDS lights.

My lamp is older, and I had to screw it in. It looks great. Here's a pic: http://i.imgur.com/Ia5wmYX.jpg

The base will support the weight of the lamp as long as the entire base is resting on a horizontal flat surface. The arm of the lamp will extend approximately 24 inches from the point at which the arm is connected to the base. When the is done, the arm is approximately 6 inches above the surface of the desk. So the way the question was phrased, I am not sure that your question was answered in total. But yes, if used properly the lamp will not tip.

I would say no as the lamp is (in my opinion) rather flimsily made. I returned mine since the stand came bent and could not even be put together.

It does not stand up on its own. You will have to lean it against something. Hope that helps!

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.

You can go up to about 52" before bending it over so the head is horizontal. (You must be looking at the description of a desk lamp.)

Yes, I've never had any problems with the lamp falling over. It definitely can support the weight of the rest of the lamp.

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.
