Axel Table Lamp

Axel is almost entirely metal: an aluminum arm and light bar (about 57% of the lamp) on an iron stem and round iron base (about 40%), with a plastic diffuser over the LED. The base has a polished, glossy finish, and each colorway carries one color across the arm and base, with small black joints.

No. Axel has no USB port, outlet or charging pad. Its standout features are the fully adjustable arm and a light that changes color temperature as well as brightness.

Yes. The touch control on the stem dims smoothly to any level: press and hold to brighten or dim, and let go where you want it. A quick tap switches the light between three color temperatures, warm 3000K, neutral 4000K and cool daylight 5500K.

Yes. The arm angles up and down to change the height, and the light bar turns, so you can aim a focused strip of light at a keyboard or sketchbook or angle it away for a softer wash. The light comes from a long LED bar on the underside of the arm and shines downward.

Axel has a built-in 10 watt LED, so there is no bulb to buy or change. It puts out about 440 to 470 lumens depending on the color setting, with a high color rendering index of 90, so colors on the page look true.

Three: Black, Red and Cream. All three share the same arm, base and lighting features, so the choice is purely about the color of your desk setup.

Axel is a slim, modern task lamp with an architectural, drafting-lamp feel. It is made for a home office desk, a studio or craft table, or any workspace where adjustable, focused light matters.

In its standard position Axel stands about 21 inches tall with a light bar about 21 inches long, roughly the width of a laptop and a mouse side by side. The round base is about 8 inches across, about the size of a salad plate. Raised and fully extended, it reaches about 38 inches high.

No, Axel is not oversized. It ships in a long, flat 22 by 10.25 by 3.9 inch carton weighing about 4.2 lbs, easy for one person to carry in.

Some light assembly is needed, and the hardware is included in the box. Expect it to take about 10 minutes before Axel is ready to plug in.

For the nightstand, the Leaf Table Lamp brings the same adjustable, focused light in a smaller footprint and adds a wireless charging pad in the base, so the desk and the bedside both have task light.

The Axel Table Lamp is covered by a 5 year warranty, which includes the integrated LED, and is UL Listed, with US based customer service.
