This 16-inch metal desk lamp uses an architect-style folding arm so you can swing the light directly over a book, sketchpad, or keyboard and then fold it flat against the base when you are finished. The all-metal build feels more substantial than the plastic lamps at this price, and the LED head offers four color modes from warm to cool plus stepless brightness, so you can set a soft glow at night or bright white for focused work. It runs off a USB cable, so you can power it from a wall plug, a laptop, or a power bank. Best fit: students, readers, and small desks or nightstands where a folding low-profile lamp beats a bulky fixed one.

Frequently asked questions
Does it come with a plug or just a USB cable?
It includes a USB cable. Many listings do not include the wall adapter, so you plug it into a USB wall block, a laptop, or a power bank you already have.
Can you adjust the brightness and color?
Yes, it has four color modes ranging from warm to cool white and stepless brightness adjustment, so you can dim it for night or brighten it for reading and work.
Is it actually metal or just metal-look plastic?
The arm and body are metal, which is why it feels more solid and stable than most plastic lamps in this price range.
How far does the arm reach?
The folding architect-style arm extends and pivots so you can position the head out over a book or keyboard, then collapse it flat against the base to save space.
