The John Lewis Baldwin Desk Lamp in Matt Parchment is an ex-display piece from the Baldwin lighting family, a smaller companion to the ceiling, wall and floor lights in the same range. Its industrial aesthetic is reflected in the knurled metal detailing and sturdy steel and aluminium construction, built to handle years of use. The dome-shaped shade can be freely tilted, dangled or angled, so you can hang it straight down for ambient light or position it as a task lamp. The range is made to last, with a five-year guarantee.

Condition and buying guidance
This ex-display lamp is boxed but may show minor scratches from being on show. The bulb is not included, so you will need a dimmable LED bulb with an E14 SES fitting; a 6W golf bulb is recommended. LED bulbs use roughly 90% less electricity than incandescent types and last far longer. When buying ex-display lighting, check that any surface marks are acceptable, as showroom items can have been handled. The lamp has a 2m cable for flexible placement, and the rotary dimmer is useful for bedside use. To clean it, allow the lamp to cool for ten minutes and wipe with a dry cloth only, avoiding chemical or abrasive cleaners.
