Description
The Dakar 3 is a compact plug-in spotlight that goes straight into a wall socket, so there is no wall light point to find. Its steel body is finished in satin nickel with chrome, and a flexible chrome gooseneck holds a white shade, letting you turn the light exactly where it is wanted. It stands 18cm high and 7cm in length, and reaches 28cm out from the wall. It takes one E14 bulb of up to 25W, and the bulb is not included, so you choose your own. Its IP20 rating settles where it belongs: indoors, in dry rooms.
Because it needs only a wall socket, it suits rented homes and rooms where there is no wiring for a wall light. Put it beside the bed for reading, next to a desk or armchair, or on a landing as a gentle night light for late trips across the house. The gooseneck lets you aim the shade down onto a book or turn it towards the wall for a softer wash of light, and you can change the angle whenever the task changes. The rocker switch sits on the body itself, so it is always close at hand, even in the dark.
The satin nickel has a soft, brushed sheen, and the brighter chrome of the gooseneck gives a crisp contrast that sits well with white walls, greys and natural wood. The white shade hides the bulb from view, so you see a lit shade rather than a bare bulb. Packed, it weighs just 0.318KG. The installation instructions are available as a download, and the one job left is to fit an E14 bulb of 25W or less.

Frequently Asked
Can the Dakar 3 go in a bathroom or outdoors?
No. It is rated IP20, so it belongs in dry rooms indoors such as bedrooms, studies, hallways and living rooms, never in a bathroom or outdoors.
Which bulb does it take?
It takes one E14 bulb with a maximum of 25W. The bulb is not included, so you can pick the one that suits your room best.
How big is the spotlight?
It is 18cm high and 7cm in length, and it reaches 28cm out from the wall, so it stays neat beside a bed or a desk.
How is it switched?
A rocker switch sits on the body of the spotlight, so you can turn the light on and off without reaching for another switch.
Can the light be angled?
Yes. The flexible chrome gooseneck lets you bend the shade towards a book, a desk or the wall, and change the angle whenever you like.
What finish does it have?
The steel body is satin nickel with chrome, and the shade is white, a pairing that sits comfortably with most colour schemes and furniture.
