• looking for a modern (read cheaper option) for an anglepoise adjacent table clamp lamp. Seen a couple of vintage ones on ebay, but wondering if there's decent modern versions which aren't too pricey, have wider range of bulb options/dimmers on them.
    Let me know if any come to mind before I get drawn into a bidding war on ebay.
    Should say does ideally need to clamp to the desk rather than stand on it.
    Thanks

  • IKEA do a clamp on Anglepoise knock off for like £30 but not sure on the dimmer/bulb options

  • IKEA do a desk clamp design. Just make sure it had a E14 or E27 base and there's tons of bulb options. Unlikely you'll find a dimmer on anything that isn't integral LED, you could wire in an inline dimmer but the beaut of an Anglepoise design is light levels can be adjusted by moving the head up and down. Normally when I'm at my desk I rotate the head against the wall and just have soft indirect light.

  • Not sure if they do a desk clamp but it looks like the John Lewis one detaches from the base.
    I assume you could get a generic clamp for the desk.
