The Baton Balance Arm Desk Lamp is a sleek lighting fixture that offers optimal lighting for reading, doing office work or your drawing board. Its balance arm in black metal finish rests on a chrome swivel. This swivel allows for horizontal movement up to 180 degrees in either direction. In addition, the swivel mechanism allows the shade to be locked in complete vertical position if desired. This vented shade holds one 13-watt T5 fluorescent bulb with a plastic bulb shield. This bulb provides warm functional light. The lamp has an on/off rocker switch at the end of the balance arm.
