This is the Design Project by John Lewis No.045 LED Desk Lamp in black, offered as an ex-display item. It has been used on a showroom floor, so it may show minor scratches, and one lamp in particular has a small dent. That is reflected in the price, making it a cost-effective way to own a well-designed task lamp.
Slimline task lighting with solid materials
The No.045 explores material contrasts with its metal and concrete construction, finished with brushed brass accents. The round concrete base gives it a sturdy, natural feel while the slimline arm can be pivoted and directed to cast light exactly where you need it. It comes with a fabric flex and an in-line switch, and runs on mains power. The LED bulb is supplied and delivers 345 lumens at 2700K warm white, with an energy rating of A++.

What to check when buying ex-display
Because this lamp has been on display, inspect the finish carefully against the photographs in the listing. Look at the dent and any scratches before committing. Ex-display and clearance items from showrooms are often end-of-line stock or have been handled by customers, so the discount reflects cosmetic condition rather than performance. The lamp itself remains fully functional, with the LED bulb included and no assembly needed.
The No.045 is a slimline, adjustable task light with a heavy concrete base, making it stable on a desk or side table. The 2700K colour temperature gives a warm glow, suitable for focused work or reading. With a 3.5W LED bulb and 345 lumens, it is efficient while providing enough light for a home office or study.
