Nordic Metal LED Desk Lamp

The Nordic Metal LED Desk Lamp from Delva Home is a small, solid lamp for the corner of a desk. A weighted 15 cm metal base carries a slim stem up to a 12 by 15 cm shade, and the whole thing stands 35 cm tall, enough to light a book or a keyboard without dominating the surface it sits on.

The LED is chosen for long sessions rather than brightness alone: the shade directs light down onto the work surface and keeps it out of your eye line, which is what reduces glare when you are reading or writing for an hour or more. The bulb is included, so it works out of the box, and an inline switch on the cord means you are not reaching over the lamp in the dark.

Six colours, yellow, green, pink, black, white and grey, let it either match a room or deliberately break from it. Metal construction keeps it stable if it gets knocked and it wipes clean with a dry cloth. It is plug-in powered, so plan for a socket nearby. Beyond a desk it works on a nightstand, a hallway console or a shelf in a reading corner.
