Vintage Goose Neck Table Lamp | Antique Brass USB Bedside Light With A Flexible Adjustable Arm

A goose neck is the oldest good idea in task lighting. The arm bends and stays where you put it, so the light goes onto the page, the keyboard or the workbench rather than into the middle of the room. This Marlow Vane lamp puts that mechanism in an antique brass finish, which gives a working lamp the weight and warmth of an older piece.

Power runs over USB rather than through a mains transformer, so the lamp can be run from a plug adapter, a desk hub, a laptop or a power bank. That makes it practical on a bedside table with only one free socket, on a shelf, or on a desk where the sockets are already fully committed to a monitor, a charger and everything else.

Buy it now if you read in bed and keep waking whoever is beside you. Bend the arm to put the light on the page and away from the rest of the room. Set the lamp on a stable surface, keep the cable clear of the edge, allow it to cool before adjusting, and wipe the brass finish with a soft dry cloth rather than a metal polish, which will strip the antique finish straight off the brass.
