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.
