Cheap Clamp on lamp for Par 38 bulb?

just wondering if a cheap clamp on lamp like this would work to run a nanotuners par 38 LED bulb?
Walmart.com: Gooseneck Clip-On Lamp, Glossy Rich Black: Kids' & Teen Rooms

 

After reading the customer reviews, I would say no that wouldnt work.

 

im not really concerned about the lamp fixture being able to hold its own weight because i will be reinforcing the lamp somehow with clear fishing line. Im more concerned about the design of the lamp shade. Im worried that by covering up the heat sinks too much? I have read that the heat sinks shouldnt be covered. So i was thinking of using a small fan to blow over the heat sinks or to somehow remove much of the shade. Any ideas?

 

it for sure wont hold the weight. and the shade that goes around it will make the leds overheat. my heat sinks on mine get pretty warm and there completely exposed. you might be able to screw off that shade though so its just the socket.

 

the shade dosent screw off? but i wonder if i could use a dremel tool to cut it off.

 

the shades dont screw off? But i wonder if i could use a dremel tool to cut it off?

 

I use this one for my refugium:

150-Watt Incandescent Clamp Light-CE-300PDQ at The Home Depot

You can remove the reflector and/or the clamp if you want to hang it.

 

used a dremel to cut the shades off the lamps. They work great! A lamp fixture for a Par30 bulb for less than $10! Yes Please. I Clamped them to the back of my biocube and used some clear fishing line to re enforce the lamp. The string is strung through the vents on whats remaining of the shade, than pulled back and attached to the wall. Ill post some pics soon!

 

Your better off buying on eBay

 

Please excuse the blue glare. Im still acclimating.


The fishing line isnt all that noticable at all. Peace of mind

Thanks for looking
