About this product
Get light exactly where you need it with the swing arm desk lamp that adjusts in three places so you can direct the beam perfectly for reading, working or crafting. The articulated arm moves easily to follow your focus, whether you're hunched over a novel or spreading out paperwork, and the compact base sits neatly without taking up valuable workspace. The cone shade concentrates light downward to reduce glare on screens, and the matt black finish adds a clean, modern look that suits any desk setup. The inline switch makes it simple to turn on and off without stretching for the plug.
It takes a standard E14 golfball bulb up to 40 watts, so you can choose warm or bright light to suit your task and time of day. The 1.5m cable gives you flexibility with placement, reaching sockets without trailing awkwardly across your desk. Minimal assembly means you'll have it set up and switched on in minutes, and it's built to keep performing reliably through late nights and early mornings. Comes with a one-year manufacturer's guarantee for complete peace of mind.

Customers Say
The lamp is stylish, versatile, and provides good lighting for reading and desk work. It is sturdy but some find the base too light, causing tipping when fully extended. Bulb not included is a common complaint.

Great bright, adjustable lamp
I brought this lamp nearly a month ago as I needed a working lamp at my desk. My two requirements were 1) bright enough to read at my desk, so not an ambient lamp, and 2) long, flexible arm so the lamp could be moved where I needed the light without moving the base. This lamp fits both requirements perfectly. There are three points of adjustment with screws or springs to hold it securely, and the whole thing feels quite sturdy so should endure being stretched and pushed back in. One point to note, inside the rim of the lamp shade/cone it says 'E14 MAX 6W LED', see photo. One of the Q&As recommended the Argos Home 7.2W LED SES Light Bulb (959/95815), which I bought. Not sure what difference the 1.2W has, but the 7.2W bulb works and is very bright. Also, when I picked up the lamp the box had already been opened. I was reassured by the till assistant that it was all there. When I unpacked the lamp I found that the lamp shade was directed upwards, not downwards as shown the in the photos on the website. No problem, unscrew the screw and turn the shade the other way. However, when I did so a small flat piece of metal, see photo, fell out of where the shade fits to the arm. I can't figure out where the piece of metal fits back in as it is angular and where the adjusting screw fits is semi-circular. Doesn't effect my use of the lamp, just curious.

No bulb
It would have been 5 stars if it had been supplied with a bulb.

Very flimsy would not recommend
Very flimsy, try to adjust it and the lamp falls over. The connector between the base and lamp shaft cracked after the first attempt to adjust it

Good product
Good lamp, easy to use sand to store

Eats bulbs.
It's movement is good, as is the light itself but the bulbs keeps blowing and can stop working if the lamp is even moved. Too delicate, I suspect that it is faulty, eaten up three bulbs on as many months. Wouldn't purchase again.

Having used these lights for a few months I can recommend them. They were as described, work well,and were reasonably priced

Hello Jen,
I can advise the following for the Habitat Swing Arm Desk Lamp - Matt Black:
This is a 3 pin plug adapter and not USB powered. The plug is moulded too so you aren't able to remove it to then post the cable through and then reattach it.

Hello Alex,
No, you can't use a 100-watt bulb with the Habitat Swing Arm Desk Lamp - Matt Black. The recommended maximum wattage for this lamp is 40 watts. Using a higher wattage bulb could be unsafe and might damage the lamp. Stick to a golfball E14 small edison screw eco halogen bulb with up to 40 watts for the best and safest glow.
