Clamp Lamp

In a workshop, a clamp style light allows you to position a bright light close to your work so that you will be able to do precision cutting, shaping or fitting easily. If you work on automobiles, you can position the light by clamping it on the hood of the car so that you get direct light on the interior of the engine compartment. It allows you to easily read calibrations and to insert wires, bolts or other parts into the proper location.

When you enter an area that is not normally hooked up to electricity, using an clamp style lamp and extension cord can bring light into the space. Perhaps your attic is poorly lighted, but you need to sort out some of Great-grandmother's clothing trunks. Carry a clamp light up with you and your task will be much easier.

You can use a clamp light anywhere an extension cord will reach. If you are working in an area that has electrical wires that are in poor condition, it's much better to use a clamp light from an outside source. You have less risk of fire or electric shock. Remodeling or renovation work sometimes requires that electrical power be turned off. When you have an extension cord and a clamp light, you will have the light you need exactly where you want it.

A clamp light can be used indoors as well. Perhaps you have occasions when the overhead lighting in a room just is not enough to light the area where you are working. A good example is reading in bed. A bedside lamp is great, but if you have a clamp light that you can attach to the headboard of the bed, it's closer and can be directed exactly where you need the light.
