## Overview

The Globe Electric Architect 28" Desk Lamp features a heavy, stable base and a spring-balanced adjustable swing arm for targeted lighting. Finished in matte black metal, it supports standard E26 bulbs up to 60W (LED recommended) and includes a convenient rotary switch on the shade. Designed for professionals seeking minimalist, reliable task lighting that complements any modern workspace.

## Description

The Globe Electric Architect 28" Heavy Base Spring Balanced Swing Arm Desk Lamp is an ideal option for any home office desk lighting. The top of the spring-loaded swing arm is easily adjustable, stretching to 28-inches at its tallest, to direct light wherever you need it the most. The bottom half of the body is nonadjustable and is beautifully designed with a decorative spring, while the long cord allows you the ability to place the light anywhere you want regardless of where your wall socket is located. The large rotary on/off switch is conveniently located at the top of the lamp shade for quick and easy use. This piece requires one 60W A19 E26 base bulb (sold separately).

Review: Good Anglepoise Dupe - This is a great lamp. I was looking for something with Anglepoise vibes without the Anglepoise price tag. Could it be slightly more polished? Yes, but it's very sturdy, with a heavy weighted base, and functional, with a spring-jointed arm that works perfectly. For the price it can't be beat. I wish they offered it in more colors.
Review: Quick, Simple, Reliable - I was looking for a simple effective task lamp that would accept a medium-base LED bulb (that is, the standard, universal E26 / E27 Edison base). Now that I can get high-lumen LEDs with a variety of hues / color settings, all I needed was a lamp that could accept such a bulb. The next thing I wanted was a light I could turn on and off easily and quickly (that is, not fumbling for a switch attached to the cord). This lamp fits the bill perfectly. I am now purchasing my third lamp for a 3rd task table. Yes, the base hinge has zero mobility but that's not been a problem--I just pull the lamp where I need to. If need be, I can quickly reposition the rest of the arm (and quickly twist-to-retighten the two controls at the joints), and I'm good to work. No bells and whistles; just a quick, simple, reliable task lamp that allows me to choose my own specific brand of lighting, and get back to work. UPDATE DECEMBER 2019: I am now purchasing a 4th lamp. The 3 previous lamps I purchased have stood the test of time. Still overall a 5-star rating for absolute reliability and ease of use. ONE CLARIFICATION ABOUT THE BASE: the base is actually quite weighty and sturdy. As long as the set screw remains screwed into place at the bottom of the lamp, the lamp will not tip over. (The set screw prevents the lamp apparatus from rotating freely and independently while the base itself stays in position. With the set screw in place, if I want to rotate the lamp, I need to rotate both the base and the lamp at the same time. I see this as such a minor, occasional problem it is hardly worth mentioning except that other commenters have said that this is a major inconvenience for them.)

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this lamp weighted at the bottom so it doesn't tip over easily?**
A: As many of the reviews have mentioned.  The lamp has two screws that prevent the joint at the base to articulate - i.e. it is fixed.  This is for a good reason because if you remove the screws, as I did, and try to move it more than slightly forward, the base will no longer support the weight and will tip over.  So, if you leave the lamp as is, without removing those bottom screws, then yes, the base should work fine.

**Q: Does it use a regular e26 base light bulb**
A: Yes...but I used a E26 led light bulb. I wanted a LED lamp, but not at the price, so I just used a LED bulb.

**Q: Is the base heavy?**
A: the base is heavy enough to provide stability without being unliftable....

**Q: What color is the cord?**
A: depends on the color of the lamp. i order white lamp, so my cord is white.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pretty good with a few quirks.
*by J***N on May 31, 2015*

Okay, not to be a pessimist but I'm going to start with the negatives. 1) Swivel is extremely limited after inserting base screw and you have to lift up the arm part a bit to get the screw in which makes it feel like it's not all the way down sitting firmly on the base, it just doesn't feel fully stable or functional at the piece where the base plate meets the arm. It doesn't greatly detract from the lamp if you're not planning to swivel it though. 2) The lamp head is pretty loose even after tightening the screw quite a bit...it holds its place well enough but still droops a few mm's when I let go. I'm afraid to keep tightening as I don't want to break it. Not the biggest deal if you don't plan on adjusting the head a lot. 3) When it came it had 2 (seemingly unnecessary) screws in the bottom hinge for some reason, this completely prevented the bottom hinge from moving at all, essentially stripping it's ability to 'swing', which kind of defeats the purpose of the lamp. After removing these two screws you gain the ability to swing the bottom hinge, restoring functionality, as long as you don't tilt it too forward or else it falls over. Not really a fault of the lamp, you can only expect it to go so far forward before physics takes over and tips it. But, yea, why the hell are those screws there? What am I missing? http://imgur.com/rjk3C2n As you can see if you leave the one screw in it's right in the path of any movement, and the other screw actually goes right into one of the bars. Positives: 1) Value of the lamp, it's quite tall and pretty nice looking for 20$. 2) Looks nice and functions well enough and feels pretty solid, none of the negatives were really game changing, more like little annoyances. Neutral; 1) Kind of wish it came with both a base plate and a desk clamp, I don't imagine that would add much to the price and would be nice to have. Not faulting the product at all for this though given its price. So yea, I'm rating this 4/5. Would consider lowering the rating if any of the negatives mentioned become a serious problem in the future, although that doesn't seem too likely.
