Type 75 Desk Lamp

Sir Kenneth Grange reworked Anglepoise's 1970s Apex 90 into the Type 75, now the brand's best-selling desk lamp.

The aluminum shade and arm pivot on Anglepoise's constant-tension spring technology, giving the lamp a 26-inch reach across a desk. It's finished in matte paint on a cast-iron base, ships with an E26 bulb included, and pairs with the floor and wall versions in the Anglepoise collection. The Silver Lustre finish swaps the matte paint for anodised brushed aluminum, leaving the metal itself visible.

Common Questions

What is the Anglepoise Type 75 desk lamp?
The Type 75 is Anglepoise's best-selling task lamp, designed by Sir Kenneth Grange as a reinterpretation of the 1970s Apex 90. It keeps the brand's constant-tension spring technology in an aluminum shade and arm on a cast-iron base, backed by a lifetime guarantee.

Is a bulb included?
Yes. The Type 75 Desk Lamp ships with one E26 bulb included, so it's ready to plug in and use as soon as it arrives, without a separate bulb purchase.

Is the Type 75 repairable?
Yes. Anglepoise stocks replacement parts and backs every Type 75 with a lifetime guarantee, so springs, shades, and arms can be serviced individually instead of replacing the whole lamp.

Anglepoise +

Anglepoise has made lamps since 1935, built on the spring mechanism British automotive engineer George Carwardine developed in 1932, which gives the lamp its balance and reach. The Original 1227, launched in 1935, is still in production.

Every new lamp bought since 2020 carries a lifetime guarantee, and more than 60 spare parts are stocked for repair rather than replacement. Anglepoise is a Certified B Corporation, meeting audited standards for social and environmental performance.

Care Guide +

Place the lamp on a level surface and tighten the thumbwheels until the shade and arms hold position. If further adjustment is needed, use the hex keys on the centre joint. Switch off and disconnect from the power supply before cleaning. Wipe with a soft dry cloth; avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.
