How to Assemble a Clamp Light
A clamp light is a lamp with a high-intensity bulb that can be connected to almost any surface by the spring clamp that makes up the body of the device. This means that you can have additional light in dark areas or a light where there in none now. This simple job needs no wiring or special electronic knowledge. Use a clamp light on a desk or in a corner or anywhere you need additional light. Does this Spark an idea?
