swing arm lamp

Hinged task illumination

A swing arm lamp is a light fixture mounted on an articulated arm that pivots and extends, allowing the user to position the light precisely where needed.

The design typically attaches to a wall or desk base, with hinged joints that let the lamp head swing closer or farther away: She adjusted the swing arm lamp to illuminate her drafting table.
