Desk lamp for video calls

Desk lamp generated for video calls starts at 340 × 180 × 420 mm and 1.3 kg in Aluminium 6061-T6 — €174 including VAT, delivered in about 8 working days, or €119 if you can wait 38. A single soft key light, placed above and slightly to one side, does the entire job. That means reach over the desk, a diffusing head wide enough to soften the edge of the shadow, and a colour temperature that does not fight daylight.

What video calls actually demands

On camera, your face is lit by whatever happens to be in the room. Ceiling light puts shadows under your eyes; a window behind you turns you into a silhouette; a ring light makes you look like you are selling something.

The starting point this page generated

Everything in the specification below was computed, not written. We passed “desk lamp with a wider head and more reach” to the same generator the configurator uses, and this is what came back: a buildable desk lamp with every dimension inside the range the partner factory has qualified.

It is a starting point, not a product. Change any parameter in the configurator and the mass, the price, the tolerances and the manufacturability findings all recompute before you order.

Why this one can ship in days

Because most of it already exists. Turned base is a platform part — identical in every configuration, made in volume and held in stock. Only column and head are made for your order, by cut to length from stock, which starts the same day because it needs no tooling.

General dimensions hold ISO 2768-m, which at this size means ±0.8 mm; the fits that matter carry explicit ISO 286 callouts in the table above. The batch lane makes the same geometry by moulding or nesting it in a production run and sends it by sea: €119 in about 38 working days.

Questions people ask before ordering

Head at roughly 30° above your eye line and 30° off-axis, at the computed reach for your desk depth. The spec card gives the reach that puts the source there from the edge of your desk.
