Desk Lamp

quote:

Anglepoise

Is good - it's a classic try this one for size .

The Tizio, by Artemide, does it all, and looks great, on or off. I wouldn't be without mine.

Stuart

I think that the Anglepoise you suggest might capsize my desk.

Jayd

Thanks, I'd forgotten about Tizio lamps. I'll inspect further.

Graham

Buy a bigger desk and chair then it's not rocket science

Stuart

You're clearly a mad fucker.

But I do like you!

Graham

I resemble that remark!

But Tizio? There's an option i'd missed.
I'm in the desk lamp market myself at the moment and missed that one so now you've got me not knowing what to go for.

Stuart

Have you been touched by his noodly appendage?

bizarre

By intelligent design the FSM created the big lamp - "LET THERE BE LIGHT". When graham55 saw the that this was not good so used his noodly appendage to create the matching table and chair

Stuart - I like the cut of your jib. Seek medical aid, swiftly.

Your very bold, but I do like you, BTW can you tell me the url you saw it on.

And if my jib was cut I would certainly seek medical aid!

Happy here with an uncut jib and meatballs intact!

P.S. Thanks Naim - Heard today that all my Naim kit has come back to O & L and will be home safe and sound soon. Very quick turnaround can't wait to plug it all in and experience the joy of my tant's having been tweeked and caps rejig'd .

The problem with most lamps is they flood the eye with extraneous light which shuts down the pupil resulting in even poorer eyesight.

Lamps always look best on the other side of the desk which is why they are designed to impress. But should really (and ideally) be shining over your shoulder. So what's that all about then? Bløødy modern-art-brainwashed designers instead of engineers guiding the triumph of function over form. Its always the converse of the obvious in our topsy-turvy world of fashion tat dictating appearance over quality of life. <sigh>

Give me spectacles and a guttering candle in preference to overpriced pressed tin anyday. The charity shops are stuffed to the gills with objects vying for the anglepoise crown. And they too are never in the right place either. Get two table lamps with opaque shades. One on either side and tall enough to cast a decent spread of light. And buy some specs!
