Anglepoise lamp?
 

Anyone know what the modern day equivalent of the anglepoise lamp is? I
would like an adjustable lamp to attach to the wall over my workbench.

thanks for looking

Andy.

How about......an Anglepoise?

I've seen them (or lookalikes) with various mounting options...

IKEA do a good range of such lamps, including "anglepoise" style. Last
time I looked they were increasingly doing lamps w/ low voltage
halogen bulbs.

Habitat used to have similar, with the option of a table base or a
screw-to-the-wall (or shelf) socket. I have about half a dozen of
these -- mostly 10+ years old and not yet showing signs of "anglepoise
droop". Of course, since IKEA now own Habitat, I imagine that their
ranges are now similar ;-)

Apart from the DIY sheds, larger branches of BHS still have good
lighting departments.

You can still get them - although IIRC the name is now generic. IKEA used
to do a fair selection.

Still the best sort of light when fitted with a mains halogen lamp for a
workbench.

I use 3 from IKEA in my workshop - dirt cheap with normal size screw
fittings. The bottom is a plastic plamp which you can attach
somewhere on/ near your bench

We used to use anglepoise-style microphone booms at a previous place of
employment (probably supplied by Canford: http://www.canford.co.uk/ )
The problem with these was that different microphones and different
cable arrangements used to "weigh" differing amounts. Adjustments were
usually made (in addition to tightening/loosening hinges) by the removal
of springs and/or the addition of chunky rubber bands.

For studio use, the springs often "clanged" when moved, so they were
either damped with heatshrink tubing (either stuffed inside and unshrunk
or shrunk on the outside) or replaced altogether with rubber bands...
though they had the problem of perishing.

Just some pointless info :-)

Hwyl!
