Product Information
Full details
The ALBA Architect Desk Lamp in Black is designed for users needing flexible and broad illumination, such as students, designers, and office workers. Its key benefit is the superior light coverage and range provided by an articulated double arm and swivel head. A potential caveat is that the bulb is not supplied and must be purchased separately. This lamp offers excellent stability with interchangeable base or clamp options, compatibility with any E27 bulb, and an energy rating of A when paired with an LED E27 bulb.

FAQs
What type of bulb does this lamp use?
The lamp is compatible with any standard E27 bulb. For the best energy efficiency rating (A), it is recommended to use an LED E27 bulb.
Is a bulb included with the lamp?
No, the bulb is not supplied with the lamp. You will need to purchase an E27 bulb separately.
What is the warranty period for this lamp?
The ALBA Architect Desk Lamp comes with a 3-year warranty.
How do I switch between the desk clamp and the weighted base?
The lamp comes with both a round weighted base and a desk clamp. You can choose which one to attach during setup. To switch, you will need to detach the current base/clamp and attach the other following the setup instructions.
What does CE rated mean?
CE rated indicates that the product meets European Union standards for health, safety, and environmental protection.
Can I use a high-wattage incandescent bulb?
While the lamp is compatible with any E27 bulb, using an LED E27 bulb is recommended to achieve the A energy efficiency rating and for overall energy savings. Check the maximum wattage supported by the lamp's socket to avoid overheating if using older bulb types.
Troubleshooting
Lamp does not turn on
Ensure the lamp is securely plugged into a working power outlet. Check that the E27 bulb is correctly screwed in and functional. Try a different E27 bulb to rule out a faulty bulb.
Arm joints feel loose
Check if the tension adjustment screws on the articulated arm joints are tightened sufficiently. Consult the manual for specific instructions on adjusting joint tension.
Light flickers
This could indicate a loose bulb connection or a failing bulb. Tighten the E27 bulb. If flickering persists, try a new E27 bulb, preferably an LED.
