Task light that earns the surface.
A polished nickel task lamp in steel with an adjustable shade, toggle switch and compact proportions that fit a desk, a bedside table or a console without dominating the surface. The bright nickel plate finish catches surrounding light and contributes a metallic accent even when the lamp is off. The E14 golf bulb fitting takes warm or cool white depending on the task. At 555mm tall with a 140mm width and 360mm depth, the lamp stands tall enough to cast light downward without crowding the workspace. Class 2 double insulated. 1500mm cable.
Seven things this lamp does differently.
- Light where the work is: The adjustable shade directs a focused beam onto the page, the keyboard or the sketchbook rather than washing the whole room in the same flat glow.
- The room gains a layer: A pool of task light against a softer ambient background creates depth and atmosphere that a single overhead source cannot achieve.
- Nickel works with everything: The polished finish sits between warm brass and cool chrome, adapting to both palettes without clashing or committing to either.
- Toggle switch, no fumbling: A physical switch on the base rather than an inline rocker hidden behind the table. Reach down, click, done.
- Catches light when switched off: The reflective nickel surface picks up ambient glow from windows and other lamps, giving the object presence on the surface even during daylight hours.
- Compact enough for a crowded desk: The 140mm width keeps the base within a small footprint. The 360mm depth accommodates the arm without pushing into the workspace.
- No earth connection needed: Class 2 double insulated. Plugs into any standard UK socket without additional wiring considerations.
Rooms where task light changes everything.
Home offices where the adjustable shade puts light on the work. Bedside tables where the toggle switch and angled beam give a reader control without disturbing the room. Console tables in hallways where a focused pool of light adds warmth to a transitional space. For how layered lighting transforms a home office into a space that works as hard as you do, our guide to creating an ideal home workspace covers the approach to desk lighting, layout and atmosphere.
Light where you need it. Only.
A room with one overhead light source has one setting. Everything is lit the same way, at the same intensity, from the same direction. A task lamp changes that. It puts a focused pool of light exactly where the work is, the page, the keyboard, the sketchbook, and leaves the rest of the room in its own register. That contrast between bright surface and softer surrounding space is what makes a room feel layered rather than flat-lit.
This polished nickel task lamp is built from steel with a bright nickel plate finish that catches and reflects surrounding light even when the lamp is switched off. The shade is adjustable, directing the E14 golf bulb downward onto the work surface or angling to cast light across a wider area. The toggle switch sits on the base for easy reach. At 555mm tall, 140mm wide and 360mm deep, the proportions are compact enough for a desk, a console table or a bedside surface without crowding.
Class 2 double insulated, requiring no earth connection. The 1500mm cable gives generous reach from plug to lamp position. For how task lighting and ambient layers build rooms that work for reading, working and relaxing, the Industrial Style Desk Lamp in Brass offers a warmer metallic alternative in the same task lamp category for rooms where nickel would feel too cool.
Steel, nickel plate, adjustable shade.
- Polished nickel plate on steel. The bright nickel finish has a reflective quality that sits between chrome and brushed steel. It catches light from other sources in the room and contributes a metallic accent even when the lamp is off. Steel construction gives the frame structural rigidity at just 1.26 kg.
- Adjustable shade for targeted light. The shade angles to direct the beam where it is needed. Point it down for a focused pool on a desk surface or angle it outward for a broader wash across a reading area. The adjustment is manual and holds its position once set.
- E14 golf bulb fitting. Takes a standard E14 small Edison screw golf ball bulb. Warm white gives a soft, focused glow for reading and desk work. Cool white sharpens the contrast for detailed tasks. Bulb not included.
- Toggle switch on the base. A physical toggle rather than a touch sensor or inline cable switch. Positioned on the base for easy reach from a seated position without searching along the cable or reaching behind the lamp.
- 555mm tall, compact footprint. Tall enough to cast light down onto a desk or a book without the shade sitting too close to the surface. The 140mm width and 360mm depth keep the base and arm within a small footprint on a crowded surface.
- 1500mm cable, Class 2 double insulated. Generous cable length from plug to lamp. Class 2 requires no earth connection, simplifying use with standard UK two-pin or three-pin sockets.
Why polished nickel outlasts trends.
Brass warms. Black recedes. Chrome flashes. Polished nickel does something subtler. It sits in the middle of the metallic spectrum, reflective enough to catch light but not so bright that it competes with other finishes. It works beside brass, beside chrome, beside black hardware. Where a brass lamp ties you to a warm palette and chrome locks you into a cool one, nickel adapts. It is the finish that belongs in a room for years because it never commits to a single trend.
Surfaces where a task lamp belongs.
On a home office desk where the adjustable shade directs light onto the keyboard and the polished nickel picks up the glow of the screen. On a bedside table where the toggle switch is within easy reach and the angled shade points light onto a book without illuminating the rest of the bed. On a console table in a hallway where the lamp provides a warm pool of focused light in an otherwise transitional space. On a living room side table beside an armchair where the task light supplements a pendant above and gives a reader direct control over the brightness at hand level.
Before you order.
- Bulb not included. Takes an E14 golf bulb. Choose warm white for a softer reading light or cool white for sharper task illumination. LED recommended for lower heat output near the adjustable shade.
- Not dimmable via the lamp. The toggle switch is on or off. If you want variable brightness, use a dimmable E14 LED bulb with a separate smart plug or dimmer adapter. The lamp itself does not include a dimmer.
- IP20, indoor use only. Rated for standard indoor environments. Not suitable for bathrooms, kitchens with high moisture or any outdoor position. The polished nickel finish is designed for dry interior surfaces.

FAQs: Polished Nickel Task Table Lamp
The shade angles manually on its joint to direct the beam. Point it straight down for a focused pool on a desk surface, or tilt it outward for a broader wash across a reading area. The adjustment holds its position once set without drifting or loosening.
An E14 golf ball bulb, not included. Warm white gives a softer glow suited to reading and ambient use. Cool white provides sharper, higher-contrast light for detailed desk work. LED is recommended for lower heat output near the adjustable shade.
The lamp itself is not dimmable. The toggle switch is on or off. If you want variable brightness, fit a dimmable E14 LED bulb and control it through a smart plug or an external dimmer adapter at the socket.
Home office desks where the adjustable shade puts light on the keyboard. Bedside tables where the toggle switch and angled beam give a reader control without lighting the whole room. Console tables in hallways where a focused pool adds warmth. Living room side tables beside an armchair for directed reading light. For how layered desk lighting and ambient sources build productive home offices, our guide to modern home office ideas covers the approach.
Brighter than brushed steel, softer than chrome. The finish has a reflective quality that catches light from windows and other sources, contributing a metallic accent even when the lamp is off. It sits between warm and cool on the spectrum, making it compatible with brass, black, silver and chrome hardware.
IP20 means the lamp is rated for standard dry indoor environments. It is not protected against moisture or water ingress. Not suitable for bathrooms, high-moisture kitchens or any outdoor position. Desks, bedside tables, console tables and living room surfaces are all appropriate.
The lamp does not require an earth connection. The internal insulation provides the safety layer instead. This means it plugs into any standard UK socket without additional wiring. There is no exposed metal path to earth, which simplifies use.
555mm tall, 140mm wide, 360mm deep. The base is compact enough to sit on a crowded desk beside a monitor, keyboard and coffee cup. The 360mm depth is the reach of the arm and shade combined, not the base alone.
1500mm from plug to lamp. Long enough to reach most desk and bedside positions from a nearby socket without an extension lead. If your socket is further away, a simple extension will bridge the gap.
140mm wide, 360mm deep, 555mm tall. Polished nickel plate on steel. Adjustable shade. E14 golf bulb, not included. Toggle switch. Not dimmable. 220-240V. Class 2 double insulated. IP20. Cable 1500mm. Weight 1.26 kg.

Why polished nickel outlasts trends.
Brass warms. Black recedes. Chrome flashes. Polished nickel does something subtler. It sits in the middle of the metallic spectrum, reflective enough to catch light but not so bright that it competes with other finishes. It works beside brass, beside chrome, beside black hardware. Where a brass lamp ties you to a warm palette and chrome locks you into a cool one, nickel adapts. It is the finish that belongs in a room for years because it never commits to a single trend.
Surfaces where a task lamp belongs.
On a home office desk where the adjustable shade directs light onto the keyboard and the polished nickel picks up the glow of the screen. On a bedside table where the toggle switch is within easy reach and the angled shade points light onto a book without illuminating the rest of the bed. On a console table in a hallway where the lamp provides a warm pool of focused light in an otherwise transitional space. On a living room side table beside an armchair where the task light supplements a pendant above and gives a reader direct control over the brightness at hand level.
Before you order.
- Bulb not included. Takes an E14 golf bulb. Choose warm white for a softer reading light or cool white for sharper task illumination. LED recommended for lower heat output near the adjustable shade.
- Not dimmable via the lamp. The toggle switch is on or off. If you want variable brightness, use a dimmable E14 LED bulb with a separate smart plug or dimmer adapter. The lamp itself does not include a dimmer.
- IP20, indoor use only. Rated for standard indoor environments. Not suitable for bathrooms, kitchens with high moisture or any outdoor position. The polished nickel finish is designed for dry interior surfaces.

FAQs
FAQs: Polished Nickel Task Table Lamp
The shade angles manually on its joint to direct the beam. Point it straight down for a focused pool on a desk surface, or tilt it outward for a broader wash across a reading area. The adjustment holds its position once set without drifting or loosening.
An E14 golf ball bulb, not included. Warm white gives a softer glow suited to reading and ambient use. Cool white provides sharper, higher-contrast light for detailed desk work. LED is recommended for lower heat output near the adjustable shade.
The lamp itself is not dimmable. The toggle switch is on or off. If you want variable brightness, fit a dimmable E14 LED bulb and control it through a smart plug or an external dimmer adapter at the socket.
Home office desks where the adjustable shade puts light on the keyboard. Bedside tables where the toggle switch and angled beam give a reader control without lighting the whole room. Console tables in hallways where a focused pool adds warmth. Living room side tables beside an armchair for directed reading light. For how layered desk lighting and ambient sources build productive home offices, our guide to modern home office ideas covers the approach.
Brighter than brushed steel, softer than chrome. The finish has a reflective quality that catches light from windows and other sources, contributing a metallic accent even when the lamp is off. It sits between warm and cool on the spectrum, making it compatible with brass, black, silver and chrome hardware.
IP20 means the lamp is rated for standard dry indoor environments. It is not protected against moisture or water ingress. Not suitable for bathrooms, high-moisture kitchens or any outdoor position. Desks, bedside tables, console tables and living room surfaces are all appropriate.
The lamp does not require an earth connection. The internal insulation provides the safety layer instead. This means it plugs into any standard UK socket without additional wiring. There is no exposed metal path to earth, which simplifies use.
555mm tall, 140mm wide, 360mm deep. The base is compact enough to sit on a crowded desk beside a monitor, keyboard and coffee cup. The 360mm depth is the reach of the arm and shade combined, not the base alone.
1500mm from plug to lamp. Long enough to reach most desk and bedside positions from a nearby socket without an extension lead. If your socket is further away, a simple extension will bridge the gap.
140mm wide, 360mm deep, 555mm tall. Polished nickel plate on steel. Adjustable shade. E14 golf bulb, not included. Toggle switch. Not dimmable. 220-240V. Class 2 double insulated. IP20. Cable 1500mm. Weight 1.26 kg.

Light the Desk, Not Just the Room
A task lamp solves one layer of lighting. How you balance it with ambient sources, natural light and the colour temperature of each bulb determines whether the workspace feels productive or strained. These guides cover the thinking behind rooms where lighting does the work.
