Know before you buy
The lamp utilizes a precision-engineered spring system that allows you to adjust the arm effortlessly. It holds its position firmly once set, providing stable, directional light exactly where you need it without needing to tighten knobs or screws.
Yes, the lamp features a standard E26 socket compatible with most modern LED bulbs. While it is designed for a 60-watt maximum, using an LED bulb will provide excellent illumination while consuming significantly less energy.
Yes, the lamp weighs 10 pounds and features a sturdy metal base with a 11.8-inch diameter. This weight provides a solid foundation, ensuring the lamp remains stable even when the articulating arm is fully extended.
The lamp features two arms measuring 19.6 inches and 15.75 inches respectively. This combined reach allows for significant flexibility, making it easy to illuminate large workspaces or focus light on specific tasks.
No, the classic chrome toggle switch is a simple mechanical on/off switch located on the shade. It functions independently of the bulb type, provided the bulb you choose fits the E26 socket and stays within the 60-watt limit.
The lamp includes a 60-inch fabric-covered cord. Because the cord exits from the base, you will want to ensure your desk setup allows for a clean path to your nearest outlet to maintain the lamp's minimalist aesthetic.
