Pablo Link Clamp Task Lamp, Medium Pantograph Arm, 350 Lumens, 3-Setting Switch

A clamp-on task lamp that keeps the desk clear: fix it to the table edge, then pull the arm to wherever the work is.

We curate Link for offices, studios, workshops and home desks where surface space is precious. The medium body rides on a pantograph arm with no exposed springs or wires, so it stays where you put it, and a rocker switch on the head gives you high, low and off. The clamp base grips a table, bench or shelf edge, which suits shared desks and rooms where a heavy base would be in the way.

Best for / where to use it

• Home offices: clamp to the back edge of a desk and keep the writing area free
• Studios and workshops: bench-edge task light for drawing, soldering or sewing
• Hotel and hospitality desks: a task lamp that cannot be knocked over or walked off with the base
• Reception and retail counters: a lamp for the register or fitting-room shelf
• Bedsides and headboard shelves: clamp to a ledge where there is no room for a base

Installation & planning

• No hardwiring: plug into a standard outlet within 8 ft (244 cm) of the clamp point.
• Clamp it to a stable table, bench or shelf edge; check the spec sheet for the clamp opening before choosing the spot.
• Mount it on the side of your non-writing hand to avoid shadows.
• Route the cord along the table leg or behind the furniture to keep walkways clear.
• Use indoors in dry rooms.

Who this is not for

• Anyone who needs continuous dimming or a warmer color: it has three fixed settings at 3000K.
• Desks with a glass top or a very thick edge that will not take a clamp.
• Freestanding use with no table edge: choose the table-base Link instead.

Why we carry it / Trade & project orders

Modern Design Center has curated lighting since 2009 and is an authorized Pablo Designs retailer. We carry Link because a good task lamp is a working tool first: it holds position, lights the page without glare and stays out of the way. Designers, architects and office or hospitality buyers can join our trade program, and we quote multi-unit orders by finish. Send us your quantities.

Frequently asked questions

How do I position the lamp head?

Pull or push the pantograph arm; it holds the position without locking knobs. The head and handle are fused into one piece, so you move the whole light with one hand.

Is there a dimmer?

No. A rocker switch gives high, low and off. Both light levels stay at 3000K.

How bright is it for reading and writing?

The 7.5 W LED array produces 350 lm at CRI 90, which is a focused task light for a desk rather than a room light.

Will the clamp mark my table?

Place a thin piece of felt or cloth between the clamp pads and a finished wood edge if you want extra protection. Tighten by hand only.

Can I use it overseas?

The lamp is rated for 120-240 V at 60 Hz; confirm the plug type for your country with us before ordering for installation abroad.

Can I order a set for an office fit-out?

Yes. Send us your quantity and finish mix and we will quote a project order through our trade program.
