The Anglepoise Original 1227 Desk Lamp is the archetypal Anglepoise desk lamp by George Carwardine. The Original 1227 range pioneered constant-spring articulation in 1935; this National Trust edition presents that classic silhouette in a pale sage finish and is intended for focused task lighting on a work surface.

Its multi-jointed arm and exposed chrome-finished spring system express the lamp's engineering-led form. The tiered square base anchors the articulated arm while the bell-shaped metal shade and swivel joint allow precise adjustment of direction and angle. The collection is produced in a range of special colours, this example showing the National Trust palette.

Constructed predominantly from metal, the lamp pairs a bell-shaped metal shade with visible chrome hardware. The lower arm carries a grey braided textile cable with an integrated black rocker switch. Key dimensions include a shade diameter of 14cm, shade height 16cm, base size 15 x 15cm and a cable length of 200cm.

Designed for task and localized illumination, the Original 1227 delivers direct, directed light suitable for desks and work surfaces. The shade tilts and rotates on its joint and the articulated arm extends to a maximum reach of 72cm from the base, allowing you to position light precisely where needed.

The lamp is rated IP20 for indoor use. The manufacturer offers a Lifetime Guarantee when the product is registered within 90 days of purchase. The inline rocker switch provides simple on/off control; consult the product page for lamp type and dimming compatibility details.

At Lighting Design Online we present the Original 1227 as a considered task fitting that combines engineering authenticity with long-term assurance. For projects, we can advise on bulb selection, placement and specification so the fitting integrates cleanly into a layered scheme — delivering clarity of purpose and dependable, project-friendly performance.
