I would like to use this as a reading light. How wide can the clip open? I would like to clip on to a 3/4" thick wood surface.

The clip opens about an inch. It should be able to fit a 3/4" thick wood surface but I do not know how secure it would be. If you can make it fit, I think it would be an ideal reading light.

Hi WPH,My wife is a minister and uses the light on the church pulpit which is 3/4" or a little more when the parament is added. The clip holds the light tight. I was afraid that the thicker surface may weaken the clip and make the light difficult to use on my music stand but that has not been a problem. Sincerely,Jeff

The back of the light has a clip similar to that found on a ballpoint pen, only larger & wider. It will clip to your belt, the back of your pants, a strap on a backpack, or any similar item. I took a picture of it, but I can't seem to find a way to post it here. Sorry.Edit: I should mention that the light also comes with the usual array of mounts for attaching it to a bike. It dose not only come with the above-mentioned clip.

It's actually a bit small for that...that's the same reason I bought it, but it has not worked out very well for me. The light is very bright, but only if it is directly over your work.

sorry for the delayed response. I measured how wide can these clips open and it was just about 2 inches when fully opened. So I don't think they are a good fit for 2 inch thick table.

Question: "I would like to use this with a wall mount. Will this lamp work?" Answer: Unless you have a ledge or some sturdy protrusion that projects out 2 inches that you can clamp the mount to, I would say no.

Clip is 4 inches long overall. In my installation on a 5/8 in think shelf, 1 3/4 in is over the shelf. Hope this helps, -- steve

It will clip on small candle like bulbs not a full size 40 watt. It also works on the right LED bulbs

Just received mine today, so don't know much yet, but would like my 6" to be brighter also. It is not like a computer screen that is not improved by shining light on it, it is more like a book that gets brighter when you shine light on it. I saw in a Kindle accessories part of Amazon that there are attachment reading lights. Sorry that won't help your husban much.

This light it really big to attach to a gun. Its about the length of the average persons hand and about an inch thick. Not sure which mount would work for you though. Its very bright, but batteries dont last very long at all. I used this for my bike and I only get about 45 min constant use before it dims to useless.

I don't have the light in front of me. It is at my vacation home. I wanted to clamp this on my Parsons bed steel frame which is 2" thick, but it wouldn't fit. Had to clamp it to the nightstand. Your table thickness needs to be less than 2" for it to work.

The entire length of the light is 11 1/2". I have never had any problems lighting up my page, but I mostly use it for my Kindle. You can just change the angle of light with the flexible neck and should have no problems.

Not if you are talking about a full monitor, but I clipped mine on the open lid of my laptop. I don't think it will clip on anything wider than smaller table edge.

Not really. The clip is better for a sun visor width. It's a little heavy and clumsy for glasses. Maybe a lightweight book light would work.

I clip one onto a bookshelf that's 3/4" thick. I think that's about as thick as it can be and still be stable.

it comes w/a "c" clamp that has about a 3 inch capacity...simply clamp the light w/it's stand to ur drawing table or workbench...very simple & quite solid...i'm giving it A+++

See my rfull eview of this light, but here is a quick summary for your needs; The clip comes off the flashlight very easily (every time I try to clip it onto my pants pocket...) so I doubt it would stay cliped to the brim of a cap. Great light, lousy clip...
