clip-on lamp

Grip-mounted illumination source

A clip-on lamp is a portable light fixture with a spring-loaded clamp that attaches to surfaces like desks, shelves, or headboards.

The clip mechanism allows flexible positioning without permanent installation: I attached a clip-on lamp to my bedframe for reading at night.

Common for task lighting in dorm rooms, workshops, and tight spaces.
