Get a corn on the cob white LED 100W equivalent then. Something like this:
I really don't like halogen lamps in anglepoises - if the springs go the IR output is quite capable of setting fire to paper underneath it.
Agreed. I couldn't afford an Anglepoise as a student, but with my first week's pay as a summer student in 1967 I bought a slightly inferior but much cheaper clone. That saw me through university and is still in use in my workshop. I think it has had one new lampholder, and maybe a flex. Still using a tungsten bulb (because it hasn't failed, also occasionally useful as a gentle dryer).
I always distrust sponsored advertising that dont show a price and on top of which the sponsor is getting a cut
Why would you leave a reading etc lamp on unattended?
And if a spring is likely to come off, it will do so when moving it?
I'd be more worried about a battery lamp given the scooter on underground stories.
We have several Luxos (of Pixar logo and Luxo Jr. fame). Very satisfied with them.
Much like a lot of advertising on social media where the price is only revealed if the item is placed in the basket. It's then that you can find the same tat on Ebay at a tenth of the price.
But some of the 'lookalikes' don't have a very heavy base which you need if you regularly pull/push/lift/pulldown
(A belated reply.) I looked at these and it seemed to be a standard GU10 bulb in a particularly expensive stand.
I now have a generic light with GU10 LED bulbs. It provides excellent lighting for reading.
The main advantage is they the illuminate the book from over your shoulder so you can have the book brighter than the room surroundings, which I find helps me concentrate better. I used to have a desk lamp that used a U-shaped fluorescent tube, which I used as a bedside light (on a long Anglepoise-like stand) so I could position it above and behind me as I was reading.
Not quite. As far as I can make out they use a bulb with a high CRI.

Would they make a point of stating that rather than saying the colour temperature is 400K.
As I said on the previous thread, I think the high CRI is mostly marketing. I'm sure some people like artists need high CRI, but people reading black print on a white pages probably don't. Their target market are people with a dingy tungsten lamp they've had for years - an upgrade to any kind of decently bright 4000K LED lamp is going to be a big improvement, high CRI or not.
