Pablo Circa Grommet Desk-Mount Lamp, Tilting 12 in LED Disc, USB-A Port

A desk lamp that mounts to the worksurface, so it takes no desk space and puts a tilting 12 in disc of light where you need it.

We specify Circa Grommet for workstations that are short on surface: shared desks, reception counters and bench seating. The stem mounts to the desk, the 12 in (30.5 cm) disc tilts 45 degrees in two directions and rotates 360 degrees, and a USB-A port in the base charges a phone. It fits worksurfaces 1.18, 2 or 3 in thick.

• Studios and workshops: over a bench where a base would be in the way.

Installation & planning

• Plug-in; no wiring. Pablo's user guide shows how the lamp attaches to the worksurface.
• Check that your worksurface is 1.18, 2 or 3 in (3, 5 or 7.5 cm) thick.
• Stem height is 16 in (40.5 cm) and the disc is 12 in (30.5 cm) across; check clearance to shelves.
• Plan the 8 ft (244 cm) cord path before you mount.
• Use the optical switch to dim from 100% to 10%.

Who this is not for

• Desks that cannot take a mounted fixture.
• Anyone who needs a very bright task lamp.
• Damp locations.
