Guaranteed for Life
Since January 2020, all of our lights bought for a domestic setting are covered by our lifetime guarantee. It is our promise to service and maintain any lights bought by our customers and is a response to the current tidal wave of products that are designed for obsolescence and destined for landfill.
Should you have a problem with your Anglepoise, we guarantee to try and repair it for you. If that really isn’t possible, we will replace and responsibly recycle the old light.
“In today’s era of complex controls proffering endless ways of getting things wrong, there remains something deeply satisfying in a lamp that has a single, crisp on off switch. Along with my Swiss Army penknife, the Anglepoise is something I use and appreciate quietly, every day.”

Who are we ?
How it all began: the lightbulb moment
In 1932, British automotive engineer George Carwardine invented the formula for a new kind of spring mechanism. It was originally intended to be part of a vehicle suspension system, but instead, something clicked. This elegant and responsive invention, which could be positioned at any angle with the lightest touch, would work perfectly in a lamp. That day in George’s garden shed, the blueprint for the iconic Anglepoise was born.
“It can become a design focal point, or blend in… it’s magical in that way. I’ve had many and can’t live without one. A must for anyone who loves the best of anything. And customer service – should you need it, you probably won’t – is exceptional.”
