Light Where You Actually Need It.

Most table lamps light the room. They sit on a surface, glow outward in every direction and contribute a general ambient warmth that makes the space feel inhabited. A task lamp does something more specific. It puts light where you are working, reading, writing or looking, and it lets you adjust the angle and the direction to suit whatever the task demands at that moment. This brass adjustable task lamp sits at 405 mm tall with a shade that pivots and tilts on its arm, directing the 10W LED E27 output downward onto a desk, a keyboard, a book or a notebook rather than scattering it across the room. The brass finish gives the lamp a warmth and a visual weight that matt black and chrome alternatives lack. Brass belongs on a surface the way steel and plastic do not: it looks like it was chosen rather than allocated.

The construction is steel throughout with a brass finish, and the proportions are compact at 340 mm wide and 340 mm deep. At 2.16 kg the lamp is light enough to reposition with one hand when the task moves from one side of the desk to the other or when the reading position shifts from the armchair to the sofa. The inline switch sits on the 1200 mm cable, which gives enough reach from a desk surface to a wall socket without trailing excess cord across the floor. Class 2, IP20, 220-240V. Indoor use only. Not dimmable, so the 10W LED provides a consistent, focused output every time the switch is pressed.

For the same task lamp shape in a different finish that would sit at the opposite end of a desk or on a bedside table across the room, the industrial style desk lamp in copper introduces a warmer, redder metallic tone alongside the brass and gives a home office or bedroom a layered metal palette rather than a single finish repeated.

What an Adjustable Brass Lamp Provides.

• Adjustable shade for directed light. The shade pivots and tilts on the arm to direct light exactly where it is needed. Angle it down for reading, forward for a keyboard, to the side for a notebook. The adjustment is manual and stays in position once set.
• 10W LED E27 bulb included. The lamp arrives with a 10W LED E27 bulb fitted. Bright enough for focused task work, efficient enough to run for hours without heat build-up. Replacement bulbs are standard E27 screw-fit, widely available.
• Brass finish on a steel body. The brass is applied to a steel construction, giving the lamp structural rigidity and a warm metallic tone. Brass develops a subtle patina over time that deepens the character of the finish rather than degrading it.
• 405 mm tall, 340 mm wide and deep. Compact enough for a desk, a bedside table, a console or a shelf without dominating the surface. The footprint leaves room for a mug, a phone and a notebook alongside the base.
• Inline switch on 1200 mm cable. The switch sits on the cord within easy reach of the desk or bedside. The 1200 mm cable provides comfortable distance from surface to socket without excess trailing.
• Class 2, IP20, not dimmable. No earth connection required. Indoor use only. The output is fixed at full brightness, providing consistent task light every time without the need for a dimmer or compatible bulb.

Why Adjustable Changes the Desk.

A fixed lamp lights the same spot regardless of what you are doing. If you move the laptop to one side, the light stays where it was. If you lean back to read a book, the pool of light remains on the desk in front of you. An adjustable shade solves this permanently. Tilt it forward for typing. Angle it to the left for writing by hand. Push it back for reading in the chair beside the desk. The lamp adapts to the task rather than forcing the task to happen within the fixed pool of light. It is a small mechanical detail that makes a significant practical difference over the course of a working day or a reading evening, and it is the reason task lamps have been the standard on professional desks, studio workbenches and architects' drawing tables for over a century.

Surfaces Where Brass Task Light Works.

On a dark timber desk in a home office with a leather chair and a stack of notebooks, where the brass finish picks up the warmth of the wood and the directed light illuminates the keyboard without flooding the screen. On a bedside table beside a low bed with linen sheets and a warm wool throw, where the adjustable shade angles downward for reading without disturbing a partner on the other side. On a console table in a hallway where the lamp provides a welcoming glow at the entrance and the brass sits alongside a mirror frame and a tray of keys. On a shelf in a living room alcove where the task light picks out the spines of the books beside it and the brass adds a metallic accent to the display. Brass works alongside dark timber, pale oak, leather, linen, warm whites, navy and every neutral from cream to charcoal.

Worth Knowing Before You Buy.

• Not dimmable. The lamp operates at a single fixed brightness. If you need variable light levels for a bedroom or living room setting, choose a dimmable alternative. For focused task work at a desk, the fixed output is an advantage rather than a limitation.
• 10W LED E27 bulb is included. Ready to use out of the box. When the bulb eventually needs replacing, any standard E27 screw-fit LED will work. Choose warm white for a tone that complements the brass finish.
• 1200 mm cable with inline switch. Measure the distance from your intended surface to the nearest socket to confirm the cable length works for your setup. The inline switch should sit within comfortable reach of the seated or standing position.
