I want an 18-24 inch gooseneck clip/clamp-on lamp that will accommodate up

Is this something a novice can do without making something dangerous? I
don't want to screw it up and burn my house down from an electrical fire.

TIA, Bonnie in NJ


Why bother? Lamps close to what you want are available at
hardware stores for about $10
