We have a "funny" placed above the outlet our son's bed. With this lamp we could make it a suspension for his reading light this wonderful. They seemed altogether very valuable, and metal processing are great. The gooseneck can be adjusted slightly, but remains stable in position. We use the lamp vice versa as shown in the figure, also is outstanding. Lamp is not included, we have exploited the full erleubte wattage, and that's actually a little too bright. The shape of the bulb must be chosen carefully, round or candle molds would probably look out and go in the worst case in poor handling then broken. All in all we are very satisfied with the lamp.
