Lighting with an urban edge
Industrial lamps
Industrial lamps are a great choice for those who prefer a contemporary or more stripped back style. Characterised by their use of metallic shades and oversized fittings, this type of lighting lends itself perfectly to open-plan spaces.
Bare bulbs
An exposed edge
Exposed bulbs continue to be popular. And it's no surprise why. The minimalist look makes an edgy style choice. Hang those bare bulbs above your dining table or add some modern flair to a side table.

Touch lamps
No fiddly switches, all you need to do is tap the base to turn the light on. A popular choice for bedrooms, touch lamps usually have a few light settings, so you can keep it bright, or dim them down before bed for a softer ambient light.
Task lamps
A task lamp can help you get focused while you are working. The light is concentrated on a specific space, helping you concentrate in-turn. They tend to be more functional than other lamps, with flexible designs and a moveable head.
Smart lighting
These lights can be controlled by your smartphone through a mobile app. They offer a range of preset options for waking up and relaxing along with different lighting patterns and scheduled timers.
Retro lamps
Step back in time with a lamp that's a throwback to yesteryear. From 70s-style lava lamps to mid-century and vintage inspired designs, these lights are great for those who like to make a statement with their décor choices.
Lamp accessories
