When you go out to buy a gooseneck floor lamp make sure that the one you are considering has a solid and serviceable base. Try it out by extending the neck out at 90 degrees to the vertical to ensure that it doesn’t become unstable and be prone to tipping over. In most cases this won’t be a problem with weights or a wide foot setting anchoring the lamp.
This kind of lamp is commonly seen in a doctor’s surgery or other medical professions because the lamp can be adjusted to bend in any direction around the 360 degree circle. It’s a durable lamp that will also provide a strong directed light and many of the lamps are made from modern looking materials such as brushed nickel or chrome. For a more striking appearance you can look for a black polished metal base rather than the natural polished steel look.
