About this product
Get light exactly where you need it with this clever twin-head floor lamp that gives you both ambient room lighting and focused task illumination in one sleek design. The tall uplighter bounces a soft glow off your ceiling to fill the whole space with warmth, while the lower adjustable reading light directs bright, clear light onto your book, laptop or craft project. It's ideal for living rooms, home offices or bedrooms where you want flexible lighting that adapts to different activities throughout the day, and the rotary switch on the base lets you control brightness with a simple twist.
The brushed chrome finish and clean lines suit modern interiors, and the sturdy steel base keeps it stable on carpet or hard floors. The adjustable head tilts to point light where you want, and the 2.5m cord offers plenty of reach. It takes one linear R7 LED bulb and one capsule G9 LED bulb so you can choose your preferred light colour, and the glass shade diffuses light evenly without glare. Minimal assembly required with clear instructions, and it plugs into your mains socket. Backed by a one-year manufacturer's guarantee for peace of mind.

Customers Say
Stylish lamp with good lighting and dimmer function, but bulbs are not included and hard to find. Assembly can be fiddly, and many users report flickering and dimmer issues.

Nightmare !
Very hard to get bulbs to fit - wasn’t clear that it came without ! Not easy to assemble. Argos sell a separate bulb of the sort needed but it is greater than the recommended safe wattage . Bulb we found for the ‘child’ lamp was the type recommended but flickered. Expensive correct wattage bulb we eventually ordered online for ‘father’ lamp just didn’t work . Took the lamp back and was glad to see the back of it ! ( I never usually leave reviews but wanted to warn others !)

Failure
Work longer than previous one but after a week started with the same fault, flashing reading light on full bright setting as this is the second one with the same fault I will just use up to the point prior to flashing
Dissatisfied, 65 or over
Great item, but needed extra bulb
Am very pleased with this item, but was annoyed that it needed 2 different bulbs and Argos only sells one of them.

Unsteady light output
Bought to replace similar lamp we had had for years. New lamp did not come with lamps.No suggestion of lamps needed. Bought ones as indicated , but the light intensity flickers annoyingly. original lamp came with bulbs and was brilliant.
Someting amusing
Poor
Poor. Uplighter is not adjustable and not very bright. Reading lamp blew the bulb and.fuse but I have kept it and use it as an extra illuminator.
Cliff, 65 or over
Average
It looks nice. But the bulbs are expensive and hard to find, make sure you buy exactly what it says as the bulbs constantly flicker else, and still can flick rarely with the correct ones Does not come with the bulbs The turning nobs are quite stiff
