Three springs balance the arm wherever you leave it. A switch on the shade, a standard bulb in the socket and nothing else. Spare springs, shades and switches are all available from the maker.
- Repairable
- Opens with common tools, spare parts are available, and replacement parts work without the maker unlocking them.
- Calm
- Does not compete for your attention: no notifications, feeds or endless content. Does its job and gets out of the way.
