In most modern homes, there seems to be a strict division between task lighting and ambient lighting. Task lighting is used purely to aid visually orientated tasks such as cooking, sewing or reading, where ambient lighting is used to create certain moods. So can one lamp be used for both purposes?

Task lighting tends to be found in certain areas of houses and apartments and in many forms including desk lamps, track lighting and fluorescent strips, commonly found underneath kitchen cupboards. Ambient lighting tends to found in the form of lights controlled by a dimmer switch, such as on floor standing lamps. What if you could find a lighting solution that offers precision and high-quality illumination when it is needed, yet can also act as mood-enhancing lighting when it is time to relax?

Anglepoise have created a range of lamps that offer just that. The unique design of an Anglepoise means that the light can be directed exactly where you want with utmost ease, making the perfect task light. However, many are fitted with dimmer switches so that when the day’s tasks are done, the illumination can be dimmed to create an ambient effect. To enhance this, many Anglepoise lamps can be fitted with transparent, coloured shades to diffuse the light and create the desired mood.
