What We Like: Freestanding, plug-in-and-use

What We Don’t Like: Only the top can be manually adjusted

Not So Good For: Stretching over a large project

Perfect For: Small desks and projects

Pink, white, black, and green, this swing arm architect lamp sits on the corner of a desk and provides light for your small projects. It features a spring-balanced swing arm at the top, a large rotary switch on top of the lampshade, and a small footprint.

Its smooth metal and lamp shade shape make it perfect for modern and contemporary home styles. The swing arm has a lot of metal moving parts and wire showing that some people don’t particularly like. Customers like that the base is sturdy and the lampshade puts off a lot of light.
