FAQs

What is 'constant spring technology'?

Constant spring technology, pioneered by Anglepoise, refers to a unique spring-based mechanism that allows the lamp's arm and shade to be moved effortlessly into a wide range of positions and remain perfectly balanced and stable without needing to be tightened or adjusted.

Does the lamp come with a bulb?

Yes, the Anglepoise Original 1227 Desk Lamp includes a bulb, allowing you to use it right out of the box.

What does the lifetime guarantee cover?

The lifetime guarantee covers manufacturing defects and structural integrity for the entire life of the product, provided it has been used and cared for according to instructions. It typically covers non-consumable parts. (*Info needed: Specific exclusions or conditions of the lifetime guarantee*).

How do I clean my Anglepoise lamp?

To clean your lamp, simply wipe the surfaces with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the Sage Green finish and chrome-plated fittings.

What is the significance of the National Trust Edition?

The National Trust Edition signifies a partnership where a portion of the proceeds from this collection directly supports the National Trust's vital conservation efforts. Your purchase helps contribute to the care of cherished historic sites and natural landscapes.

Is assembly required for this lamp?

Minimal assembly may be required, typically involving attaching the shade and screwing in the provided bulb. The main body of the lamp usually comes pre-assembled. Please refer to the specific instructions included in your packaging. (*Info needed: Confirmation of exact assembly steps*).

Can I use any type of bulb in this lamp?

While the lamp comes with a bulb, any replacement bulb should match the specified wattage and cap type (e.g., E27, E14) to ensure optimal performance and safety. Always check the lamp holder for specific bulb requirements. (*Info needed: Exact recommended bulb specifications*).

Troubleshooting

Lamp won't turn on
  1. Check if the lamp is securely plugged into a working power outlet. 2. Ensure the inline cable switch is in the 'on' position. 3. Verify that the bulb is correctly screwed in and not loose. 4. Try replacing the bulb with a known working one.
Light flickers or dims
  1. Check that the bulb is screwed in tightly. A loose connection can cause flickering. 2. Ensure the bulb's wattage is appropriate for the lamp. 3. If flickering persists, try a different bulb.
Lamp arm does not hold position

The constant spring mechanism is designed for precise balance. If the arm does not hold, gently articulate the arm through its full range of motion a few times to re-seat the springs. If the issue persists, consult the lifetime guarantee for service.

Discoloration or damage to finish
  1. Clean only with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive materials. 2. Ensure the lamp is not exposed to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight for prolonged periods, which can affect the finish over time.
