Its jointed arm pivots at the wall bracket and folds at the elbow, and the conical metal head tilts toward a page, a keyboard or a sketch, then swings back out of the way. Designed in the 1930s and still made in the same archetypal form, Naska comes in two arm lengths and in white, black or chrome.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eQuick facts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct:\u003c\/strong\u003e Naska wall lamp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e FontanaArte, Milan, Italy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem number (MPN):\u003c\/strong\u003e F810340240CRN1 (Chrome, Small); see each version for its own number\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wall-mounted swing-arm task lamp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest for:\u003c\/strong\u003e home offices, desks, bedsides, reading chairs, studios, workshops, hotel rooms and offices\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSmall:\u003c\/strong\u003e arm sections 11.8 in (30 cm) each, head 4.9 in (12.5 cm) diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLarge:\u003c\/strong\u003e arm sections 19.6 in (50 cm) each, head 6.2 in (16 cm) diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWall bracket:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.7 in (4.3 cm) wide, 3.1 in (8 cm) high\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight source:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x E26 bulb, 46W maximum, 110V (bulb not included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e direct, adjustable; not dimmable; rotary switch on the head\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower:\u003c\/strong\u003e black cable and plug (the maker's specification lists a European two-pole plug)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRating:\u003c\/strong\u003e IP20, dry indoor locations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e painted metal; chrome-plated metal on the Chrome version; chromed metal wall bracket and pivot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinishes and sizes available:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chrome, Black, White; Small and Large\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCertification:\u003c\/strong\u003e UL pending\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/strong\u003e FontanaArte Historical Archive (wall version 1937; Naska family 1933)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyles:\u003c\/strong\u003e Modern, Transitional, Retro\/Vintage, Contemporary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0673\/1264\/8406\/files\/ul-pending-certification-mark.png\" alt=\"UL pending certification mark: UL listing for the US market is in progress\" width=\"72\" height=\"72\"\u003e UL certification for the U.S. market is in progress for this lamp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eLight quality and how it performs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNaska is a proper task light. The conical metal head concentrates the bulb's output into a defined, direct beam, so the light falls on your book or desk rather than spilling across the room. Because the arm swings at the wall and bends at the elbow, and the head tilts, you can bring the light close for detailed work or push it back to light a wider area of a desk. A rotary switch on the head lets you turn it on and off at the light itself. It takes a standard E26 bulb up to 46W; a warm white LED around 2700 K is comfortable for reading in the evening, while a 3000 to 4000 K bulb is crisper for desk work. It is not dimmable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSize and placement\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach arm section of the Small is 11.8 in (30 cm), giving a compact reach for a nightstand or narrow desk; the Large has 19.6 in (50 cm) sections and a bigger 6.2 in (16 cm) head, enough to reach across a wide desk or over an armchair.
