Can this lamp be modified to clamp onto edge of a desk?

I think it would not be practical. Tao Tronics makes a lamp with a clamp, why not visit their store.

yes, but you have to have sufficient overhang for the clamp to seat properly. I had to cut a hole in the side of the desk (no prob fort me because the desk was against a wall) to allow the clamp to seat correctly.

Joyce,I have one of these lamps but have never seen anything like a weighted base for it, just the clamp. It would have to be a real heavy base to allow the lamp to extend to length.Mike

Maybe. This lamp has a 3/8 inch round peg that fits a 3/8 inch round receptor clamp. So your base receptor must be at least 3/8 inch from side to side of square and have a clamp to secure the round peg. The base receptor & clamp that comes with this lamp works well on the 1-1/2" lip of my desk top.

Most likely the clamp would fit, yes. But the lamp itself is very low quality and I would not recommend. I have had 3 of them fail in a very short period of time. On one, the gooseneck disconnected from the clamp assembly. On the other two, the dimmer switch circuitry somehow failed and the light would randomly flash on and off.

The maximum useable opening for the metal clamp for this lamp is slightly over 2 inches, so it is theoretically possible it might work. Be sure you are purchasing the metal clamp made for this product, not the plastic version.

No, I cut a hole in the sheet model in back of the desk. This allowed the clamp to work.

The clamp was extra for the heavy duty if I recall but not very expensive. No reason why you couldn't clamp it to the table, assuming there was a usable space, it's joined enough you should be able to adjust for tilt. One not, this is a large and heavy lamp, not something you necessarily want very close to your head.

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.

Yea, that should work, but you want to make sure the thing will clamp to the edge of your desk. There needs to be a lip or an edge that it can grab on to. I was honestly a little disappointed about how small it was. But it is still sweet.

If the clamp is mounted on an upright post, the light will go horizontally over your area to be lighted--which would be fine in almost all circumstances because of the swing allowed by the lamp itself. Your ability to attach it to the post may or may not cause problems, depending on the post.

The clamp is not strong enough if you want to attached the lamp to a stand. I used additional clamp to secure the lamp.

No...it has a round base. We really like this lamp. Our clamp light just fell apart.

I think so. Just make sure the desk has a lip in the back where the arm can clamp on to.

The base is large enough to be clamped down to a desk. The arm of the lamp is screwed into the base. The power is wired into the base and the on/off switch is on the side of the base. The base is approximately 5" in diameter. the lamp arm is fixed and will not rotate. The available movement is up/down, forward/back and the lamp head will move side to side. I hope this helps.

I think it might work, but, of course, without the corners. More than that, you should very careful with the glue, because if touches both the lamp and the strap, you might be in trouble!

Unlikely, the clamp has to be screwed in tight. A glass-top would probably not take this stress and cantilever load of the monitor.
