I'm sure there must be plenty more who use these. Heavy glass lens,
circular fluorescent lamp etc on 2 off 18 inch long sets of arms with
springs. However much you tighten up the central clamp the top arm sags
down in use, especially when you rotate the whole lamp or the angle of
the head. Place a dense rubber tap washer under the nut of this clamp.
Changing the angle of the arms is then stiffer but I prefer that, to
sagging in use. Anyone else have any other ideas that retain full
functionality.

Tie some elastic through and round the springs. With care you can tune
this so the thing stays in position. Been doing this for years with
anglepoise mic stands.
