I dont know if this mounts to the wall or not, but if it does mount to the wall, I personally wouldn't buy it solely because I would have to damage the wall (even a little bit). If there was an installation to the lamp itself that made the lamp very very bottom heavy, then I would consider buying it.
um, you said that they break easily and thats happened to you a "few" times which generally means between 3-10. now lets say you broke 4 and they each cost $12.5 (between $10 & $15). Now, 4 x 12.5 = $50.
You could get a much better lamp for that money and should consider that.
maybe something heavy at the bottom would be better and less obtrusive. What if the lamp wobbles like a Weeble and does not fall down. Works for the tooth brush.
As mentioned I think a major concern is lack of flexibility in where the lamp is located. You mention the ability to lengthen the arm, but I like the freedom of moving my lamps around as needed. Good luck!
I think the wall attachment noted above looks more like one of the older wall attached and clamp on lights / fans that have a spring arm. At least those allowed you to move the light or fan where you need them. Those don't need help standing up either. I think anything that needs this would also be a fire or injury hazard in general if it's that unstable. Maybe the light or fan just needs to be placed on a flat floor where no one knocks it over.
Try stablizing the lamp using a tri-pod type attachment near the bottom. The wall stablizer would be a great conversation piece, but looks akin to a plumbing error.
Wow, some harsh feedback above. Unfortunately I think that many of their points are valid - such lamps are obsolete, most people want their lamps to be mobile, etc.
That said, I think you could probably work to adapt this for other things, like a child-safety device or for securing other objects (bed frames, tvs, bookshelves, etc.), especially for earthquake-prone areas. Such devices already exist but can always be improved upon, make simpler, more modular, etc. Good luck!
Sorry to be blunt but this idea is retarded. Why not take your $15 lamp cost and $25 fixing cost and use that money to buy a better quality floor standing lamp. I think the beauty of a Halogen lamp is that it can be moved anywhere in the room and looks nice. Your idea would fix it in place and make wherever it is placed look like the inside of a closet. Ridiculous solution for a non existent problem.
You're idea of moving it around seems valid. Though I've had several lamps stay in one place for a long time. Maybe rather than screwing them in, attach them with those Hercules Hooks or Mighty Putty.

Thanks! I like the other uses you mentioned.

*scratches head* 'cause...you...already...HAVE...the lamps.

The concept is still valid; you get the torchiere lamps still, but they have CFLs instead of halogens. Less heat, too.
Good point. Thanks. And technically I see usage of this outside of lamps also.
