The Adam is a 450mm table lamp with an adjustable arm and a200mm chrome shade.

Only the BLACK version is available. The listing name alsomentions coffee, vanilla and white. Those finishes are not stocked.

A chrome shade throws light differently

A metal shade is opaque, so all the light goes down in a defined cone rather than glowing throughfabric. That makes it a task lamp: bright on the page, dark elsewhere. If you want a soft ambient glow,this is the wrong shape look at a fabric-shaded lamp instead.

The arm adjusts

You can move the head over a book, off a screen, or up at a wall. Combined with the directionalchrome shade, that is what makes it useful rather than merely decorative.

It takes a globe you buy and that is better

One E27 globe up to 40W, not supplied. There is no built-in LED, despite whatthis page previously said. Because the globe is replaceable you choose the colour temperature 4000K for a working desk, 3000K for a bedside and you can replace it whenit fails rather than replacing the lamp.

Where it works

• Desks and study benches, aimed at the page.
• Bedsides, angled away from a sleeping partner.
• Console tables, as a directional accent.
• Home offices, off the screen.
