Re: Viper HQI Clamp Lamp

I love the look of mine. I got it with a 14 or 15k bulb (I forget which). More blue then white which is what I wanted. Though the unit doesn't seem to be able to support the weight of it's own head. I replaced my first one and the second one had the same issue within 2 months of using it. As the plastic of the arm heats up the weight of the head causes it to flop down
