For mounting to non-metallic surfaces, the light comes with a clamping bracket that can be attached to a desk or bench and two auxiliary bases with metal washers that can be screwed to walls, studs or worktops. The Magnetic LED Task Light fits into the auxiliary bases.

To mount with the clamping bracket, loosen the knob on the bracket until it is open enough to fit on the desired surface.
(It can be clamped on surfaces up to 21⁄2″ thick.) Then tighten the clamp and place the base of the Magnetic LED Task Light on the metal flat sections of the bracket. -

Once you have the location(s) set, drill a pilot hole, if necessary; then place a metal washer inside the auxiliary base (making sure that the chamfered side of the center hole is facing up), and secure the washer and base to the surface with one of the included flat-head screws.
