The apparatus is designed for holding and positioning a lamp of the type which has a light source, an elongated handle depending therefrom and an electrical supply cord attached at a lower end of the handle. The supporting apparatus includes a base member and an upstanding support leg which has a lower end secured to the base member and an upper end which is extendable from the lower end for adjusting the height. A support arm has a first end pivotally attached at the upper end of the support leg, and a sleeve is secured to the second end of the arm. The sleeve has a longitudinal aperture on one side thereof for transverse passage of the electrical supply cord of the lamp therethrough. The sleeve has a diameter which is intermediate the diameter of the handle and the light source so that the handle of the lamp is receivable axially into the sleeve, and the lamp is supportable and positionable by the apparatus.
