About this product
Get light exactly where you need it with the Habitat Swing Arm desk lamp, perfect for deadlines, reading or projects. The multi-angled arm adjusts in three places to direct focused light onto your keyboard, notebook or page without straining, making late-night tasks easier. It fits neatly on any desk, bedside table, or reading nook without taking much room, and its retro-inspired style adds character. The inline switch lets you turn it on and off easily, and sturdy metal construction keeps it stable when adjusting the arm.
It uses a standard E14 golfball bulb up to 40 watts, so you can choose the right brightness and warm or bright light for your needs. The 1.5m cable gives you flexibility with placement, and minimal assembly means you'll have it set up and ready to use in no time. Made from durable metal with a clean white finish that works with any decor, it's a practical choice that keeps performing day after day. Backed by a one-year manufacturer's guarantee.

Looks ok
I liked the look of this lamp, but after unboxing I noticed some tarnishing on brackets and springs. Also more plastic fittings than I would like. Seems to be quite cheaply designed in places. Works ok so far, but I don't see it lasting years. Does the job, but could have been better value. Doesn't include a bulb, but those are pretty cheap.

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.
