Description
The Raibo is a task desk lamp built around an adjustable head that directs light onto the work surface in front of you. It takes a single E27 bulb running at up to 5W from a 220-240V AC supply, so you choose the lamp to suit your task, whether that is a warmer tone for reading or a brighter, cooler one for detailed work. It sits on its own weighted base rather than fixing to anything, which keeps it easy to move between a desk, a side table or a study nook. American buyers will recognise this format as a classic E27 reading lamp for the desk.
The Raibo is intended for indoor task lighting, lighting the page, keyboard or workspace directly ahead of the user rather than the whole room. It works well on a home-office desk, a bedside table for late reading, or a hobby and craft bench where you need a defined pool of light over a small area. The adjustable head lets you aim the beam onto the task and angle it away from your eyes, which helps keep glare off a screen. Because it is a focused task lamp and not general room lighting, position it close to the work area and pair it with softer background light for comfortable working over longer sessions.
Built from metal with a black finish, the Raibo is a steady desk fitting that weighs 1.01kg, giving the base enough mass to stay put while you reposition the head. It is rated IP20, which means it is for dry indoor use only and should be kept clear of bathrooms, damp areas and any outdoor spot. The E27 cap accepts a wide choice of standard bulbs, so dimmable performance depends on the bulb you fit. The Raibo sits within our wider range of desk and task lamps, with matching finishes available to suit a coordinated workspace.

Frequently Asked
What should I look for in a desk lamp like this?
For task work, focus on brightness and colour temperature: a warmer tone suits relaxed reading while a cooler, brighter bulb helps with detailed work. The Raibo takes a standard E27 bulb up to 5W, so you can match the light to the job. Its adjustable head also lets you aim the beam onto the surface and away from your eyes to reduce glare.
Does the Raibo clamp to the desk or stand on its own?
The Raibo is a free-standing lamp that sits on its own weighted base, so it does not clamp to a desk edge. The base weighs enough to keep the lamp stable as you angle the head. This makes it easy to lift and move between a desk, bedside table or hobby bench.
Is the bulb included, and can I dim it?
The Raibo uses a standard E27 screw fitting, so you can choose a bulb to suit your task and tone. Whether it can be dimmed depends on the bulb you select and a compatible dimmer, as the lamp itself simply houses the E27 cap. This gives you flexibility to set the light level for reading or close work.
Can I use the Raibo outdoors or in a bathroom?
No. The Raibo is rated IP20, which means it is for dry indoor use only. Keep it out of bathrooms, damp areas and any outdoor location, and use it on a desk, table or workbench inside the home.
