Anglepoise Type 75 26-inch desk lamp review: reach and setup
A source-led look at the Type 75 desk lamp that 1800Lighting calls its best-selling model, including reach, bulb details and desk-mount considerations.
Updated
Why this model is featured
The 1800Lighting product page describes the Type 75 as its “best-selling Type 75 desk lamp.” That is a direct sales-status claim by the retailer about this lamp. The page does not provide unit totals, a time window, or a full storewide ranking, so this review treats it as the seller’s own bestseller designation rather than an independently measured number-one position. The specifications below come from the retailer listing; we have not bought, installed, or tested the lamp.
Reach and desk footprint
The listing gives the lamp a height of 26 inches and a maximum depth of 26 inches. Its shade is listed at 7.5 inches high and 5.5 inches in diameter, while the cord is 106.3 inches long. Those measurements suggest a desk lamp with a wide adjustment envelope and a long lead, but the page does not give a measured range for every joint position. Measure the available desk area and check the cord route, outlet location, and clearance around shelves before choosing a placement.
Light source and electrical details
1800Lighting lists one E26-base bulb at 6.5 watts and says an LED bulb is included. The product information also carries a UL safety rating and a “Dry” location rating. That dry-location label is a boundary on placement: do not interpret it as approval for damp rooms or outdoor use. The page does not state a lumen output, color temperature, dimming range, or color-rendering index in the details reviewed here, so buyers who need specific task-light performance should confirm those values and the included bulb’s exact specification with the retailer.
Mounting and setup questions
The retailer’s description mentions pairing the lamp with a compact desk insert to hard-mount it to a desk. The wording does not clearly establish whether that insert is included with this listing or sold separately. Confirm the package contents and compatible mounting hardware before ordering, especially if you do not want a freestanding base. The listing emphasizes adjustability, but we cannot assess arm balance, joint resistance, finish quality, or ease of repositioning without a hands-on sample.
Availability and fit for your workspace
This model is worth considering if you want a movable task light with a listed 26-inch height, a broad maximum reach, and an E26 LED bulb included. The page’s selectable options and availability message can change, so confirm the chosen finish, package configuration, stock status, delivery region, and final price at checkout. A product’s bestseller wording does not tell you whether its proportions fit a compact desk or whether its light output meets your work needs; compare the measurements and request missing electrical details first.
