Lamp top, fastening flop

The attachment is as already several times described a joke. I suspect that these or similar only in wood Materials work. The screws protrude not even a centimeter into the wall. Since it still depends usually in the wallpaper, etc. and has certainly not enough to be able to take advantage of stability to the relatively rigid gooseneck also. At the same time, the holes are so small that you do not get longer screws at the hardware store!
That is, either one has to widen the holes (and therefore risk to destroy the lamp) and, if necessary using screws that are not lowered in the housing or an intermediate piece made of wood or similar use between wall and lamp. Both come to the optics of the lamp certainly not good. This lamp should therefore only buy who does not bother. Otherwise you will simply can not hang up!

Update: I got the lamp now drilled at my bedside - a cheap Ikea paint. Seemed to me the best solution.
