gooseneck lamp

Flexible desk light

A gooseneck lamp has a flexible metal tube connecting the base to the light, allowing the head to be bent and positioned in any direction—like a goose's curved neck.

The design is common for desk lamps and reading lights: She adjusted the gooseneck lamp to shine directly on her book.
