does this light fixture head hold in place. some seem to droop or not hold their position after while due to weak locking mechansum

I've had mine for a couple of months now and it is working flawlessly. If anything, I would say the head is more on the snug side.

It doesn't droop at all, holds really firm in place. I've used it quite a while and hasn't had any problems with it.

I've had mine for nearly 2 years in a busy medical office. It gets used daily, sometimes six days a week. The lamp gets folded closed every night and opened and repositioned every morning. All hinges including the tilt head hold their position perfectly. There is no droop at all. Very high quality product.

I'm probably not the acid test -- we've had ours less than a month. But the arm and head assemblies thus far "feel" right, appropriately resistant to repositioning movement. I find adjustable lamps to be a bit like adjustable shelves... once we get them set to our preference, we have little reason to change them. Hope this helps.

Yes it rotates and that is a great feature if you want to bend over and was your face. It takes enough effort to move and will stay in place. A great fixture

My landscapers did it for me - they got one that was slightly bigger than the stake that comes out of the lamp - that keeps it from tilting too much in there with the wind, etc, and I think they also put something in there to stabilize it. The benefit is that they could make the stake a lot longer that way, and it has really stabilized the lamp. They look great and they have stayed put during some big winds....

Depends on the orientation of the electrical box inside the wall, and whether the two screws that hold the body of the light itself will line up. Additionally, the shade itself is only anchored in one place, on top, to hold it in place. You would put a stress on the opposite end with nothing holding it in place with the weight of gravity.

I think I know what you mean. I've had the light move up on me. What I do is point it all the way down then pull back up to where I want it. It more or less stays in place after that barring any severe bumps.

It does NOT sag. As a matter of fact, it does not even hang from the arm. That piece is purely decorative. The light fixture is bolted to the face plate, which is against the house, so it is flush with or without the arm. It is a GREAT light. I love mine. Ed B.

The one I bought did NOT stay up. I was having problems from the start, but thought it was me. One day it just quit holding in place; no matter what I tried I could not tighten the armature "holder" enough to get it to stay in place. I have a weight attached to the back-end of the arm to hold it up - a not too sightly solution to a frustrating problem. Too bad, cuz this lamp gives good light.

I did use one to hang a two bulb light but had a problem keeping the fixture from swinging,when I added a second hanger it was perfect balance....personally I would always use two..

Yes, joints a quite stable and stay in place once lamp is position. I like it and would purchase again.

My fixture is under a ledge, it is not out in the open. So far I have had no problems. Hope this helps.

Yes. It will hold the ring light. How ever. Try not to put anything over 5 pounds on this particular item. It has a decent build but not for everyday wear and tear.

The posts need to have something pretty stable to attach to. If you can do that then you might be OK. The flex track isn't that flexible so the posts need to be able to withstand some stress to keep the shape of your bends. Hope that helps! It's a great light fixture!

The problem is not with the clamp where it attaches to your fixture, the problem is at the end where the clamp attaches to the lamp and lampshade. That part is so weak it will not support the weight of the lamp or lampshade so whenever you try to position it, it sags. The clamp attaches to the lamp body with some kind of screw type latch, and it is what is flimsy and weak for the weight it should be able to support. Now if you plan to use the clam where the lamp hangs upside down, then I this weakness will work for you. But I say, Don't buy it. Let the manufacturer make it work correctly, cause right now It sucks. Even the lampshade is flimsy, and can bend or dent easily.

I have not had mine move in high winds but you could also put a landscape fabric staple over the power lead where it leaves the fixture to make sure it does not move anywhere.

Hi Cathy. I have to admitt that I have not yet had the post installed or taken it out of the packaging. I am awaiting an electrician to install it. If you are referring to a hole or holes near the top end of the pole to secure the lighting fixture, I don't believe this model has any. I have another post in my yard that is many many years old and the fixture fits securely down over the post without need for screws or other attachent. I would think that if a hole is needed to secure a fixture one could easily be drilled with an ordinary driller and bit. Hope this helps!

I'm very happy with my fixture. The quality is fine and I have had no issues. How can you mount anything if the power source is coming from the TOP?Wouldn't the source need to come from the BOTTOM of the beam?

It is a very strong hook. My fixture weighs 10 to 15 lbs. It should hold fine as long as it's screwed into a 2*4 or other secure board.
