Orlix Industrial Desk Lamp Silver - Articulated Arm

The Orlix is an articulated desk lamp built from brushed silver metal, with a two-arm jointed construction that allows the domed shade to be positioned across a 510mm reach from the circular base. Each joint holds position via tightening knobs, letting the lamp head be angled over a desk, worktop or bedside table and locked in place for reading or close work.

Designed for desks, home offices and bedside positions where directed light is needed without a fixed ceiling fitting, the Orlix sits on a 210mm diameter weighted base that prevents tipping when the arm is fully extended. The shade houses a single E14 bulb (sold separately) behind a white-painted metal interior that reflects light downward onto the work surface. The 1m cable carries an inline switch for on/off control without reaching for a wall socket.

The brushed silver finish on the metal frame gives a neutral metallic appearance that pairs with industrial, mid-century and contemporary interiors without the warmer tone of brass or the starker contrast of matt black. The dome shade measures approximately 150mm in diameter, focusing light into a pool rather than flooding a full room, making it suitable for task lighting where ambient ceiling lights handle general illumination. The IP20 rating limits use to dry indoor locations.

What bulb does the Orlix take?

The lamp takes a single E14 small Edison screw bulb, sold separately. Most users pair this with a 5-7W LED bulb at 2700K-3000K for close task lighting. The lamp is not dimmable, so standard non-dimmable LED bulbs are recommended.

How adjustable is the arm?

The two-arm construction gives a maximum reach of 510mm from the base. Each joint holds position via a tightening knob, allowing the shade to be angled and locked in place over a desk or bedside table. The arm does not spring-balance, so each joint must be manually tightened after adjustment.

Is the base heavy enough to prevent tipping?

The weighted circular base measures 210mm in diameter and provides stability when the arm is extended to full reach. On desks with cable clutter or uneven surfaces, positioning the base near the desk edge can help balance the lamp when angled outward.

Can it be used as a bedside lamp?

Yes. The articulated arm allows the shade to be positioned over a book or angled away from a sleeping partner. The inline cable switch sits approximately 300mm from the base, making it reachable from a bedside position without leaning toward the wall socket.
