Do any of you guys clamp a lamp to this stand? I have been using a clamp deep dome for my CHE (which works great) and I am wondering if it is safe to clamp it to this and if it will be secure.

I want to buy it mainly because I want to be able to lower the height of where the CHE is to increase the temperature.

Yeah, I use both since originally I had a deep dome setup but the winter has been pretty cold in this house so I went to find whatever ceramic fixture I had for the CHE.

Hey Thanks mao much appreciated....looks like I'm going to buy this thing. Your picture shows that I can clamp it to the arm and it can rest in the hook if the clamp goes bad! nice!!

Hehe yeah, it took me a good while to figure that out and get it just to the way I like it.... I was all like clamp here no.... how about this no... darn it and I just threw it on the hook and saw the clamp by the arm and I was like hmm... AH this works. Hehe. I'm glad I helped =)

No!

That's a great stand. I only wish the "foot" were a bit bigger. But what you do is remove the clamp part of your light fixture and HANG the fixture from the stand. You can just wrap the cord around at the distance you want it to be then tie a half knot in it to keep it there.

Very ingenious. I would never have thought to set it up like that, and it looks like its pretty safe. Good job.

I use this stand for my russian and I have had no troubles at all with it. It would be nice if the foot were larger, but other than that I feel it has held up very well. I hang my light, I don't have a clamp but can see how it would be no trouble to do either one.

I have this stand also. I don't know why I never thought of removing the clamp and hanging the light...duh!
