Great height and reach. Holds firmly at any angle you set it to. I have had several of these in the shop for many months now and they stay in place. The springs are strong. It's nice that the clamp it comes with to attach to desks etc. are NOT attached to the light itself permanently, which is nice if you just want to drill a hole in a bench or wherever to stick the light into. Good light at a good price (back then anyway).
