Franco II 6.8W LED Desk Lamp Warm White - Black

The Franco II LED is a compact task desk lamp that puts a focused pool of light across the work surface in front of you. It draws a maximum of 6.8W and gives up to 590 lumens at a warm 3000K, with a 100 degree beam that spreads the light evenly over a notebook, keyboard or open page rather than across a whole room. The adjustable head and arm let you aim the output exactly where it is needed, and at around 87 lm/W it is efficient for its size. American buyers will recognise this style as a small integrated LED desk light or reading lamp.

This lamp suits a home office, a study desk, a bedside reading spot or a workbench where you want concentrated light without flooding the surrounding space. The warm 3000K tone keeps the working area comfortable for long sessions and reads as a relaxed, low-glare light rather than a harsh white. Because it lights the area directly in front of the user, think of its coverage as the desk footprint within reach of the arm rather than a measured room area. With a 100 degree spread the beam covers a typical writing or laptop zone, and the head can be angled to push light onto a screen or a book as the task changes.

Built from plastic in a black finish, the Franco II stands on its own weighted base and is intended for dry indoor use at its IP20 rating, so keep it clear of bathrooms, porches and any damp location. It runs on 220 to 240V AC mains and is not dimmable, with the warm white output fixed at 3000K. The integrated LED is rated to around 20,000 hours, so there is no bulb to replace over its working life. At Ø173 mm across the base and 1.28 kg it stays stable and stays put once positioned on a desk.

Product Specification Sheet

Range Datasheet

What should I look for in a desk lamp?

Look at brightness, colour temperature and how well the light controls glare. The Franco II gives up to 590 lumens at a warm 3000K, which suits reading and close work without being harsh. The adjustable head lets you aim the light onto the task and away from your eyes.

Does it clamp to the desk or stand on a base?

It stands on its own weighted base rather than clamping to the desk edge. At 1.28 kg with a Ø173 mm base it stays stable once positioned. You can place it anywhere on the work surface and angle the head to suit.

Does it use a replaceable bulb?

No, it has an integrated LED rather than a separate bulb. The light source is rated to around 20,000 hours, so there is nothing to swap out during normal use. When the LED reaches the end of its life the lamp is simply replaced.

Is the warm white tone good for working?

The fixed 3000K warm white gives a comfortable, relaxed light that is easy on the eyes during longer sessions. It reads as a softer tone than cool office white. The 100 degree beam spreads evenly across a desk so the working area is lit without strong hotspots.
