TORCHSTAR Metal Desk Lamp — Adjustable Swing-Arm, Black, Weighted Base & C-Clamp

This compact, metal-bodied lamp blends heavy-duty stability with flexible range of motion. It combines a weighted base and a removable C-clamp so you can use it freestanding or fasten it to surfaces up to 2" thick. The spring-balanced arm extends and pivots to aim light precisely where you need it, while the slim profile and 55" cord keep the footprint minimal.

How does the adjustable swing arm make task lighting easier?

The spring-balanced arm extends up to 18" and the head rotates, allowing quick repositioning without lifting or moving the whole lamp. This flexibility helps you focus light for reading, crafting, or video calls with minimal rearranging.

• 18" extendable swing arm for broad reach
• Rotatable shade and base for directional control
• Spring-balanced tension for steady positioning
• Adjusts without taking up desk surface area

Can I mount this lamp to different surfaces and how secure is it?

Yes — the lamp includes a C-clamp that secures to horizontal or vertical surfaces up to 2" thick, and the weighted base provides a stable freestanding option. A locking screw at the base holds the arm in place; loosen before adjusting, then retighten to prevent movement.

• C-clamp fits surfaces up to 2" wide for desks, shelves, or workbenches
• Weighted base lets you use it without hardware when preferred
• Base locking screw secures the arm after positioning
• Easy clamp install and removal for portable use

What bulbs work with the TORCHSTAR desk lamp and what should I avoid?

The lamp accepts standard E26 and E27 base bulbs; TORCHSTAR recommends A19 bulbs for balanced light and suggests G25 as an alternative when you prefer a decorative globe shape. Using other bulb types may produce uneven illumination or may not perform as intended.

• Compatible with E26 and E27 base bulbs
• Recommended: A19 for general task lighting
• Alternative: G25 for decorative or softer diffusion
• Avoid non-recommended bulb models to maintain performance

How easy is day-to-day use and long-term durability?

The lamp is built from solid metal with a matte black finish and a UL-listed power plug for everyday safety. A 55" power cable and a simple rocker on/off switch make it straightforward to place and operate, while the weighted base and metal construction resist tipping and wear.

• Solid metal shade and arm for durable handling
• Weighted base reduces wobble and tipping
• 55" cord for flexible placement without extension cords
• UL-listed plug and user-friendly rocker switch
