About this product
Get two types of light from one stylish floor lamp, perfect for rooms needing both ambient and focused task lighting. The tall uplighter casts a soft glow across the ceiling, ideal for relaxed evenings or entertaining, while the lower adjustable reading light directs bright, focused illumination for reading, crafting or detailed tasks. Set each light's brightness independently to suit your needs. The sleek black finish fits modern spaces, and the compact base fits neatly into corners or beside sofas without taking much floor space.
It takes two LED bulbs one linear R7 for the uplighter and one capsule G9 for the task light, letting you pick the light colour and brightness that suit you best. The adjustable head directs the lower light precisely, and the 2.5m cord offers plenty of placement options. Made with a sturdy steel base and glass shades built to last, it's a practical lighting solution that performs reliably day after day. Minimal assembly is needed, so you'll have it up and running quickly, and it comes with a one-year manufacturer's guarantee for peace of mind.

Customers Say
Stylish lamp with good lighting and dimmable feature, but often lacks bulbs, which are expensive and hard to find. Assembly can be fiddly, and many report flickering and unreliable dimmer performance.

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.

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
