Pablo Link Medium Pantograph LED Desk Lamp, Plug-In, Hi-Low Switch

A plug-in LED desk lamp whose scissor arm folds flat or reaches across a work surface, with a hi-low switch and no installation.

We curate lighting for working spaces, and the Link Medium is the task lamp we recommend when a desk is tight or shared. The two-section pantograph arm extends to cover a drafting table, then folds back so the lamp stays out of the way. The head tilts and the base turns, so you can aim a clean 3000K light at a keyboard, a sketchbook or a book in a hotel room.

Best for / where to use it

• Home offices: a movable task light that frees up desktop space when folded.
• Drafting tables and studios: the long reach covers a wide work surface.
• Hotel and dorm desks: plug-in light with a global adapter option.
• Bedside reading: on a wide nightstand, aimed at the page.
• Workshops and labs: a clean, shadow-controlled beam over small work.

Installation & planning

• Plug-in only: no wiring, drilling or ceiling work.
• Assemble the flat-packed lamp onto the weighted base; the base needs a stable, level surface about 7 in (18 cm) across.
• Keep an outlet within the 8 ft (244 cm) cord; route the cord behind the desk.
• Rotate the base, extend the arms and tilt the head to aim the beam, then use the rocker for high or low.
• If desk space is very tight, Pablo also makes a clamp-mounted Link.

Who this is not for

• Anyone who needs smooth dimming: the control is a hi-low switch.
• Room lighting: it is a task lamp, not an ambient fixture.
• Outdoor or damp spaces: Pablo publishes no damp or wet rating.

Why we carry it / Trade & project orders

Modern Design Center has curated lighting since 2009 and is an authorized Pablo Designs retailer. We carry the Link because it fills the classic architect-lamp role with modern LED efficiency. Interior designers, architects and hospitality buyers can join our trade program, and we quote multi-unit and project orders for offices and hotel rooms.

Frequently asked questions

How far can the arm reach across a desk?

Two 13 in (33 cm) arm sections fold and extend like a scissor, and the base rotates 360 degrees, so the head can cover a wide arc around the base.

Can I move the lamp without touching the arm joints?

Yes. The 8.5 in (21.5 cm) head doubles as a handle, so you can grab it and reposition the lamp with one hand.

Is the lamp bright enough for reading and drafting?

It produces 350 lm at 3000K and 90 CRI from 99 LEDs, arranged to avoid multiple shadows. That suits reading and desk tasks, though it is not meant to light a whole room.

Will it work with European outlets when I travel or ship abroad?

Pablo lists 120-240V input and a global multi-plug adapter option, so check the adapter you need when ordering for use abroad.

How does it arrive?

Flat-packed in two cartons, with the lamp at 3.25 lb and the base at 7.65 lb. Assembly is straightforward, and the user guide below covers it.

Can I buy several for an office or hotel project?

Yes. Send us your quantities and finish mix, and we will prepare a project quote and confirm lead times.
