Bed clip on reading lamp for a thick headboard

Completely riveting, I know.....

I am looking to get DH a basic reading light for bed. Trouble is, all the clip on lights I can see online seem to have clamps that open maybe 5cm max - and the headboard is 7-8cm.....

Does anyone have a thick headboard and found a clip on lamp that fits??

I have this op! Best thing I've ever bought.
It goes round your neck so can read anywhere & has different light settings depending on what you prefer.

I have a Hektar light from Ikea that would work.

Failing that there are lots that clip on to the book instead

Thanks both! That neck light looks brilliant but I just know DH wouldn't use it. He is quite set in his ways and I can just see him "jibbing" at it! Might get one for myself though

I'll look at that Ikea light
