How does this light attach to a wall or under a shelf? Is it a permanent or temp. Attachment?

You can let it sit flat as shown in the picture, or it can be mounted under a shelf on on the wall two ways: a) using the double-side adhesive pad that comes with it, or b) using a screw and a slotted hole in the bottom of the light.

Mighty Bright has a product that makes it sit more securely on a hard surface. It's called the light cradle. It measures about 3 x 4 inches. You place the base of the light into it. It's held in place by a small clip and because its "footprint" is considerably larger than that of the base, it makes the light much more stable. At around $7.00, I think it's a reasonably priced, useful addition to the light.

It CLAMPS. If you have a shelf on the wall, you could clamp it onto the shelf. If you pounded a big nail into the wall, you could clamp it onto the nail, but it wouldn't hold very well and you wouldn't really be able to bend the neck without the light falling off of the nail. You could buy a clothes hook, hang that on the wall, and then clamp this light onto the hook. It would probably look stupid, though.

By a small metal bracket that is included with the light, then the light is hung on the bracket and secured with a set screw. Remember this light must be mounted to wood.This is the best light on the market. I installed 3 last year.

It comes with two small clips that can be mounted to a wall / ceiling. The light snaps into the clips. They're hard to spot once the light is mounted because they're so small, but they work just fine.

I'm going to say around 60 degrees which I would rarely use. I've attached a light underneath which is supported by a spring loaded clip on part of frame. I will not place very much weight upon it except maybe 30#'s of arm weight to trace. I hope this answers your questions. David

The light will clamp to a rounded metal pole BUT I you should not use it to support the hood or get it close to any fabric as it (and the metal part around the bulb) gets very hot and 'could' burn it. I can't touch it when it is on and it is even hot near the switch to turn it off.

Mine is mounted under plastic shelving, I have had no problems. I have it connected with an adjustable rope through eyelets attached to the bottom of one of the shelves, so I can adjust the height based on plant height. For more precise info, I turned my light on about 15 minutes ago (not growing anything just now), and checked the temp with an infrared thermometer. The top of the housing is 67 F in a 60 F room. The hottest temp I can find is 121 F. That is shooting directly at the bulb. I can only barely feel warmth at 1/2 inch distance. Obviously in a small enclosed space, in a warmer room, you would get a little more heat. But nothing capable of melting sturdy plastic. Mine is mounted under plastic shelving, I have had no problems.

The light fits into a holder. . And the holder tightens down onto the light. .. it is very secure! ! I WOULD buy another one! !

The mounting options are numerous. The mounting bracket is a right angle, full length bracket with two key holes on each side of the bracket (4 holes total). The light also has two screw holes so it can be mounted directly. I mounted mine under the sink in cramped space, so I just screwed the bracket directly to my cabinet and snapped the light into the bracket. Worked great. It also comes with 3m two sided tape.

You can attach the light to the frame or the wall, but it's very heavy. We attached the light to the wall and after a couple of weeks it pulled out of the wall and we no longer use the light. I would look for something not so heavy.

This is a hardwired fixture. We've got one of these (and an additional one of a different size) in our kitchen. The light is great for task lighting and should be plenty bright enough if you're mounting under a shelf or cabinet.

It comes with the tape and the short screws. We originally tried the tape just for ease of installation. However, the tape did not hold mounted under a cabinet, so we used the screws. It was just what we needed for this dark space, and they really provide a lot of light.

Remove light from mount. Use a flat head screw to mount. Reattach light to mount.

either will work. I used the screws provided but temporarily used the adhesive to hold the light in place while I installed the screws.

It's the way how it works in my closet "room" on country side :)Don't use velcro, use screws. There is no problem to detach the light from screws and replace the batteries.

It has been a while, but my recollection is that it mounts on a simple bracket (included) that is affixed to the wall with screws and drywall anchors. The electrician did not use a conventional electrical box in the wall--the Romex merely came out to the fixture through a small hole.
