Task light – point the light at the work instead of at the whole room

The arm bends and stays where you put it, so the light lands on the page, the keyboard or the countertop rather than spilling everywhere. Three white tones cover warm evening light through to cool daylight, and the brightness runs smoothly from low to full. Take the plug-in version for a fixed desk or the rechargeable one if it has to move.

Why choose this task light?

A fixed lamp head means you move the paper to the light. A bendable arm means the opposite, and that is most of the difference between a lamp that gets used and one that gets pushed aside.

Arm that holds its shape: bend it low over a book or up and back to bounce light off the wall.
Three white tones: warm white, natural white and cool white from the same head.
Smooth brightness: no fixed steps; set it exactly where your eyes want it.
Corded or cordless: plug-in for a permanent spot, USB-C rechargeable for 6-8 hours away from an outlet.
Low draw: 2.5W, so leaving it on through an evening costs next to nothing.

One light that adapts to the task instead of the other way round.

On a desk it works best set slightly behind and to the side of the screen, where the arm can reach over without casting a shadow on the keyboard. The rechargeable version carries over to a kitchen counter or a bedside shelf and comes with its USB-C cable. Wipe the housing with a dry cloth.
