Candellux ZUMBA 41-72085 desk lamp, white and black, E14 max 40 W, height 38 cm

ZUMBA 41-72085 is a desk lamp with a white bell-shaped metal shade on a black curved arm and a round white base. The shade is carried on a visible joint at the end of the arm and stays white on the inside.

How much desk space it takes

The lamp is 38 cm high, 35 cm wide and 15 cm deep. The width comes from the reach of the arm: the shade hangs about 35 cm from the axis of the base, so the light falls beside the lamp rather than over it. The base is round and flat and occupies 15 cm of the surface — a figure to compare with the free space next to a monitor or at the edge of a desk. The lamp weighs 1.32 kg, so it stands steadily without being clamped down.

Which bulb it needs

There is one E14 socket, and the manufacturer quotes 40 W as the maximum bulb rating — a ceiling, not a consumption figure. No bulb is included. For desk work a neutral 4000 K is the usual choice and for evening reading a warm 2700–3000 K; around 400 lm is enough to light the surface itself. It runs on 230 V from a mains cable.

How it directs the light

The bell shade is opaque and closed at the top, so all the light leaves downwards, towards the desk. The white metal inside reflects it softly, without a hard hot spot. A fitting like this lights a section of the surface under the shade rather than a whole room, which is why it usually supplements the ceiling light. Its IP20 rating confines it to dry rooms. The manufacturer intends it for bedrooms, living rooms and hotels, and the reaching form matches work at a desk.
