Type 80 Desk Lamp

A halo of light escapes every shade — Sir Kenneth Grange drew the Type 80 in his 90th year.

The light-escape detail spills a soft glow across the shade's outer surface, giving the lamp presence even in low light. Anodized, CNC-machined joints and a cast iron base carry Anglepoise's balanced movement, and the brand is a certified B Corp. An E26 bulb and integrated shade switch come standard.

Common Questions

How tall is the Type 80 Desk Lamp?
Maximum reach is 27.6 inches from base to shade, with a compact 6.9 x 4.9 inch footprint, so it suits desks and side tables alike.

What is the halo effect on the shade?
A light-escape detail lets a soft ring of light spill onto the shade's outer surface, adding warm ambient depth in low light without reducing the task light below.

Does it come with a bulb?
Yes. An E26 bulb is included, and the on/off switch is built into the shade itself. Register within 90 days for Anglepoise's lifetime guarantee.

Care Guide +

Your Anglepoise® lamp is a finely balanced product. To adjust the balance, place the lamp
on a level surface and carefully tighten the thumbwheels until the shade and arms support themselves in multiple positions. If further adjustment is required, use the hex keys to tighten the centre joint. To avoid damage caused by excessive force, we ask that you treat your lamp with due care. Prior to cleaning or maintenance, always switch off and disconnect the lamp from the electricity supply.
