Original 1227 Mini Desk Lamp

The 1935 original's spring-balanced reach, scaled down for desks that can't spare the space.

George Carwardine's constant-tension spring movement carries over intact — only the proportions shrink, with a 5.1-inch steel shade and 30 inches of reach. Like every lamp from Anglepoise, a certified B Corp, it ships with a bulb and a lifetime guarantee.

Common Questions

How much smaller is it than the full-size 1227?
The Mini's shade is 5.1 inches across versus 5.7, and maximum reach is 30 inches versus 35.8 — the same spring balance at roughly three-quarter scale.

Is it fully adjustable?
Yes. It uses the same constant-tension spring system as the full-size 1227, so the arm holds any position you set it in, without tightening knobs.

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.
