Pablo Designs Brazo LED Floor Lamp – Adjustable Reading Light, Focus Control

A reading lamp with a focusable beam: precision-machined aluminum that narrows its light onto your page or widens it over the whole chair.

Brazo Floor puts Pablo Pardo’s machined-aluminum task head on a floor-standing arm. The arm rotates 360°, tilts 90° and adjusts in height; the calibrated focus control dials the beam from a tight reading spot to a broad flood; and a rotary dimmer sets the brightness. 108 LEDs behind Pyrex glass deliver 400 lumens of warm 3000K light with one clean shadow.

In Silver, Black or White; 97% recyclable; ships flat-packed. Brazo won a Gold IDEA award in 2008 and Gold at Best of NeoCon 2007.
