The decision question
Will the selected base or clamp, articulation, shade, task reach, cord exit, and full movement envelope fit and remain supported?
This owner records physical fit across the complete movement envelope; it does not diagnose glare, prescribe ergonomics, route the complete cord, or recommend a lamp.
Collect the required inputs
| Input | Required? | Unit or format | Evidence source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Exact model and assembly source | Required | Maker, model, region, document URL | Selected model documentation |
| Base or clamp branch | Required | Base footprint or clamp opening/range | Selected model documentation |
| Surface geometry and thickness | Required | Dimensioned support surface | Measure the actual location |
| Height, arm, head, and shade envelope | Required | Static and fully swept dimensions | Assembly drawing plus observation |
| Task reach and obstructions | Required | Dimensioned work point and collision notes | Measure the actual location |
| Cord exit and support condition | Required | Direction, occupied space, stability notes | Selected instructions plus observation |
Apply the route-specific decision logic
- Choose the base or clamp branch and record the exact model.
- Draw both the static envelope and the full movement sweep.
- Compare the support surface, reach, shade, cord exit, and every obstruction.
- Treat unestablished stability or clamp geometry as UNKNOWN, not as a pass.
- Record PASS only for the exact model and measured location.
Reader states: PASS means all required facts support the result. BLOCKED means a recorded conflict stops the plan. VERIFY identifies a named measurement or document that can settle the row. UNKNOWN means the needed fact is not established. NOT_APPLICABLE means the row is outside this exact branch.

Evidence boundaries
The IKEA FLOTTILJ product page provides model-specific dimensions and documentation for article 805.523.18 only.
Do not infer: Another lamp's geometry, clamp range, movement, stability, light quality, ergonomics, and cord behavior must not be inferred from this model example.
