ANGLEPOISEType 75 Desk Lamp, Aluminium, Jet Black

Fantastic quality item with a really nice heavy base to avoid toppling.The lamp arrived very carefully packaged and it is easy to assemble, just one screw to fasten and they provide 2 Allen keys in case you ever. need to adjust the lamp. It comes with a E27 lightbulb so it is ready for use straight out of the box.A fantastic task light with an elegant design, just move it to where you want it positioned and it stays put.Mine is brushed silver finish which looks good anywhere in the house.

A bit pricey but well made. Looks and feels good. Much better quality than my old 90 version. Supplied LED bulb adequate but Kelvin & wattage a bit low for my purposes. Replaced with 7w 4000k ES LED Golf bulb giving a brighter whiter light. Quality let down slightly by the sloppy feel of the on/off button on top of the lamp shade but otherwise very pleaded with it.

Although not the cheapest desk lamp you could buy, it must be the best. It is made of a lovely quality and looks the part as well. If you can afford it then I unhesitatingly recommend it.

Its a very stylish lamp that would fit in most rooms. I found i didn't have issues from previously written reviews. The red tape on the base left no trace and I can adjust the lamp position with one hand.The only niggling negative I have is that the actual head is quite stiff to move but that may go with time.My wallet isn't happy but I am.

The classic Anglepoise lamp is sturdy yet lightweight, perfectly adjustable in height and reach. A beautiful addition to the home, and practical for reading and desk work.

I wish I could give this an extra half star! Such a lovely lamp, and just a couple of tiny niggles - so don't want to give it full marks, but 4 out of 5 seems quite harsh.In a burglary last year, I lost an item given to me as a 21st birthday present by my late father, many decades ago, and have been looking for something "meaningful" as a replacement ever since. Having grown up with his very battered "original style" Anglepoise desk lamp, and wishing I had one myself, I decided to use some of the insurance money to treat myself to this.I chose this as a more "feminine" style than his. I could see from the pictures that the three "legs" are rather wider apart (as far as I can see, on ALL styles) at the base than on the older lamps. Unfortunately, measurements are given only in centimetres, and I didn't take the time to find a tape measure and convert them into imperial. I was therefore surprised by the huge footprint of this lamp - about 8 inches diameter compared to 6 inches for the older styles. I don't find it aesthetically pleasing - though that is down to personal taste (and perhaps also to being familiar with an old lamp). More importantly, I don't find it practical, either. My desk is a busy place, and that extra couple of inches across adds up to a lot of lost surface area!I like having the switch on the top of the shade, like the old lamps, rather than along the power cord where I end up groping about under the desk ... and with modern LED bulbs, the shade remains cool to touch - so no more singed fingers when switching off. The supplied bulb was not bright enough for my purposes; and for drawing or even sewing I needed a "daylight" colour. I purchased the required 10w LED bulb, fitted it - and despite its being larger than the one supplied, the lamp still balances perfectly.The lamp was easily assembled, even by an oldie like me ... once I'd found my specs to see the tiny screw! And I took note of others' dire warnings not to overtighten and damage it (though I note that a spare screw is supplied, "just in case"). Not sure how long this will last - the old lamp was attached to it's base with a large nut and bolt; this little screw seems very flimsy, and I'll have to remember not to pick the base up by holding the "trunk" ... Disappointingly, the screw was supplied held in position by red sticky tape, and this has left a nasty red residue which I am struggling to remove without damaging the paintwork ...I'm overall very pleased with my purchase - just those little niggles over the base size and method of attaching ... and that tenacious red sticky residue. I hope the lamp lasts as many decades as my father's did!

This is a replacement for an earlier Anglepoise lamp that lasted 40 years plus. It is nicely balanced and the LED lamp is very good. I fine very good for use on my desk allowing me to flood relevant areas with great lighting.

I absolutely love this lamp. In every aspect the design has been perfected. I bought one of these for my son's desk last year and I now needed one. A repeat order I assumed but not quite. This Anglepoise has the switch at the rear of the lamp unit just like the original. A lot easier to access and totally discreet. The Anglepoise is a tribute to the original designer and the modern team that somehow continue to improve this classic.

I bought this beautifully designed lamp for my wife only to discover, when we tried to assemble it, that the plug is designed for the UK. We're returning it. What a waste.

I have one of these lamps and enjoy it. Beautiful design, great colors, etc. I went to order one on the Anglepoise website but they were out of the size and color I was looking for so I decided to order it from Amazon. The reason I’m giving the lamp 2 stars is because no where on the site does it specify that the lamp comes with a European plug. If I would have known I would not have ordered it. Returning was not clear considering you’re sending it back to the UK so I had someone swap the cable for a US cable. That was an additional $45. So I suggest waiting until back in stock or ordering from the Angelpoise site because it doesn’t make sense to buy with a European plug.
