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.
