A bird-shaped light that aims exactly where you point it

The magpie sits on a slim aluminum perch with a clear acrylic shade for a tail. The head turns, and it comes off the body when you want the light somewhere else. Nine brightness steps and three white tones cover most of what a desk asks for.

Why choose this desk lamp?

It is a decorative object that still works as a proper light. The 10 W output is enough for reading and paperwork, and the acrylic softens the edge of the beam.

Aim the light: the head rotates on the body, so you can throw light on the desk or up at the wall.
Take the head along: it detaches and keeps working in your hand, useful at a bookshelf or a cupboard.
Dimming in nine steps: small increments between a night-time glow and full brightness.
Three white tones: warm white, natural white and cool white, switched at the lamp itself.
Acrylic and aluminum: a high-transparency shade on a metal frame, wiped clean with a dry cloth.

That combination makes it as easy to live with as it is to look at.

At 40 cm tall it clears a monitor without leaning over the keyboard. USB plug-in power means it can share a socket or a hub with the rest of the desk. Set it at the back corner and the light still reaches the whole work surface.
