Desk lamps with clip

Clip mount

— the latch in the form of a large clothespin — from two halves, attracted to each other by a spring. Clips are less reliable than clamps, which is why they are used only among compact low-power models. However, this moment also gives its advantage: such a lamp can be fixed even on a thin and not very strong surface, such as a sheet of hardboard or even thick cardboard, while a clamp requires a rather thick and rigid support. In addition, the clip opens and closes almost instantly, which makes it easy to move such a lamp from place to place.
