task lamp

Focused work light

A task lamp is a small, adjustable lamp designed to illuminate a specific work area rather than a whole room.

Task lamps typically have flexible necks or articulating arms that let you direct light precisely where needed: She angled the task lamp over her drafting table.

Common on desks, workbenches, and beside reading chairs.
