Know before you buy
The base measures 17.7 by 17.7 inches. However, because of its significant reach of over 106 inches, you should ensure you have a generous amount of clearance in your room to allow the lamp to extend fully without obstruction.
Not at all. Despite its scale, the lamp features Anglepoise’s signature constant tension spring technology, which allows you to position the shade and arm effortlessly with a light touch.
The lamp is built for durability using high-quality aluminum for the shade, arms, and fork block. It is anchored by a sturdy cast aluminum base reinforced with cast iron weights to ensure stability.
Yes, the lamp includes a 177.2-inch cable, which provides significant flexibility for positioning the light away from a wall outlet.
Anglepoise provides a lifetime guarantee on this model, reflecting the brand's commitment to the longevity and build quality of their iconic designs.
