Side by Side Comparison of: Woods vs Simple Deluxe vs ePhoto

Strong clamp light...worth the few xtra dollars. Will buy again,

I have 6 of these, about to purchase no. 7. I've never had one stop working. I've dropped them several times, the reflector part may get a dent or two but the lights never stop working as they should.

I got this as an additional light for my studio. Arrived ok in a box from Amazon. Assembles in seconds, and the clamp is strong enough to hold it wherever you need it. Good price. If I need more in the future I'll buy this again.

This clamp light is prefect for our grow light. We are growing some of our plants in the house. Winter can not seem to decide whether or not is it coming or going yet. Love having the clamp so we can hang it up any where. Works great

Clamp on lamp works great, priced right, packed well, and sent fast. The mechanical connections are tight, the clamp is strong, and the removable reflector adds a lot of well-directed reflected light.

We got this clamp light for a heat lamp for baby chickens. it works well. the clamp is very strong. it will stay on what ever you clamp it on to.

Couldn’t get metal parts to stay attached to the bulb socket. But as I am unusually un-handy, that could just be me. Otherwise, it held an incandescent bulb just fine.

This is my fourth order for a pair of these Woods 2839 lampheads. I recently renovated my studio and have been testing these with par20 LED bulbs until the track lighting is installed. Bottom line, they are great. Unlike the older ball-and-socket versions from Smith Victor, these have a mechanism that allows you to position the light at any angle using a dual-axis system. The only caveat is this mechanism is not precisely manufactured and really doesn't work any better than the cheaper ball-and-socket variety right out of the box. This is a manufacturing problem so I have deducted one star.So I have been taking this mechanism apart and properly re-aligning the parts with a hammer and vise, and a pair of pliers. Once the parts are aligned, it works. Having to do this is a pain, but the results I've been getting are worth it. It's easy to make small light angle adjustments and the light stays firmly in position.Another critical part of this lamphead is the clamp. It has a shaped end that allows it to firmly grip a lightstand and stay put. The spring is extra strong, and the black coating on the wire is heavy enough to protect whatever you're clamping it to.Bottom line, this lamphead has a secure mount that allows you to make head adjustments without slipping or popping off the cabinet trim, large pipe up to 2" diameter, the edge of a door, desk, chair, 2x4, or edge of a desk. Adjusting the beam angle is easy and quick, and hasn't budged even when I kick a light stand. Comes with a high-quality 12 ft cord.

These work great for what I need. I spray painted them and use them as indoor lighting for my work room. My only complaint is the rubber is a bit too soft on the clamps. I have one clipped to a wooden shelf and the edge of the shelf keeps peeling little curls of rubber off if I'm not careful about taking it down.

Good product, however the clamps slip a little even though theres a rubber backing to it

These work great for adding your own bulbs to reflect your bulbs and are very bright. The clamps are iffy, but it is probably the surface I am using them on. Otherwise very reasonable price for adding more light.

very nice for the price! screws together tightly which works nicely. Put a bulb in and it works the clamping part seems very satisfactory. for the cost I recommend it highly.

This light is doing the job I got it for but the reflector is rather flimsy. It arrived with a ding in it but for use in garage that didn't matter. The reflector also comes loose if you barely bump or try to adjust the clamp. Quality could be better but OK for the price.

Well it works kind of works....the light keeps falling down because I has cheap hardwear, won't tighten down and after a little help from some zip ties, it seems to be useable

The light range is average and cord could be longer. Buyer beware it's clamp is not the best and be sure it's secure before you leave unattended the clamp can easily slide off some surfaces and then it's all bad

I'm having problems adjusting it. It is difficult tightening it to stay in desired position. I should have paid more attention to other reviews.

First one came in would not work right out of the box. Was given a replacement right away that I am happy with. The switch seems a bit flimsy however it does work for what I need it for.

Works well, no real issues except that the clamp does slip off certain materials/sizes. I have it clamped to a 2x4 which works. Be great if it was just a tad deeper to accommodate bulbs that may be a bit larger, especially if you are going to cover this with a diffuser.

Item arrived quickly but it was missing the clamp. Light works great but now I need to go find a clamp bc I don't have time to return it.

Light worked on tomato plant but strawberrys, and other herbs had the leaves to brown out. Only used to keep plants until time to plant outside.

Overall, I really just do not like this product. The aluminum reflector does not secure (or screw) properly to the lamp base. The ease of use to rotate the light the way you want (a wrench doesn't seem necessary to adjust a light) is terrible, I've had this product for awhile now and it annoys me every time I see it that I gave this company money for this product.

Arrived with a broken mechanism I made it work but within a month the bulb would not screw in but it was too late to return it

It does not support itself very well. The clamps need to be about 25% stronger. Only if you're clamping it vertically so the light is above the clamp will you have no problems. Otherwise you'll have to fiddle with it and oftentimes settle for a position that is less than ideal.

Overall, I wouldn't suggest buying these. You can get some of the same size and better quality at walmart for only 6$ I wish I knew that before I ordered these. They come not assembled and there is no directions, its not too hard to set up but it make take a few minutes to figure it out. The clamp kind of sucks too, the metal part of the clamp dosen't go all the way around in the triangle shape as shown, it cuts off about an inch before it connects which, for my use, makes it slip and they have fallen on several occasions. If you need it for a garage or something great, but just go to walmart and get the cheaper one, its better quality than this.

Poorly made

I ordered this light so I could have better lighting when I make videos on youtube. It came late, and extremely damaged. Coming in a cheap package when it should be coming in a box. Very bad quality. Box was ripped open and the metallic clamp light itself was incredibly damaged. Hoping I can return this.

One star is too many. I bought this to take camping and hook up to the 5th wheel outside. I plugged it in and it didn't work. I put in a lower watt bulb and it started to catch fire. I didnt get one use out of it!! I wish I could give it zero stars.

Had to bend the lamp hood to get it to stay in placeIt is as if the hood was not made for the part that bulb screws into

Arrived with a broken cord. Non-functional.

Hate these thing!! These are so flimsy and cheap! We hadn't even had them that ILong and they all don't work!! Please save yourself some money and go to your local farm and home for lights. These are pitiful.
