The Design Project by John Lewis No.045 is a sophisticated, slimline task lamp for a desk or work surface. Its round concrete base and steel arm create an interesting material contrast, with brushed brass details adding a subtle highlight. This particular example is in white and is an ex-display item, so it may have some scratches and scuffs from its time on the showroom floor. These are cosmetic only, and the lamp remains fully operational. The LED bulb is included.
Design and construction
The No.045 explores the contrast between metal and concrete, with a satin finish and natural concrete base. The head and arm can be pivoted and directed, so you can position the light beam precisely where you need it. The lamp stands 55cm high, is 50cm wide and 15cm deep, and weighs 1.8kg. It has a fabric flex with an in-line switch, and is classed as Class 2, meaning it does not require an earth connection. No assembly is needed.

Ex-display condition
Because this is an ex-display lamp, the seller has noted surface scratches and scuffs. These are typical of a showroom item and do not affect how the lamp works. If you are happy to accept minor cosmetic wear in return for a lower price than a boxed example, this is a sensible way to buy a quality lamp.
The supply includes the LED bulb, which is a 3.5W GU10 type. The recommended replacement is an LED 3.5W GU10 bulb, so the lamp continues to run efficiently at 345 lumens with a warm 2700K colour temperature.
