A striking piece of British industrial heritage, this vintage Anglepoise engineers task lamp by EDL features a classic articulated arm design, robust steel construction and a deep green enamel shade with authentic wear and patina.

Originally designed for machinist benches and engineering workstations, this lamp was built for performance – durable, adjustable and made to withstand heavy use.

The solid steel base ensures stability, while the multi-jointed arm provides flexible positioning, allowing light to be directed exactly where needed. These lamps were built to endure; the fact this example remains fully adjustable and intact speaks volumes about EDL’s engineering standards.

Founded in 1922 in Staffordshire, England, EDL (Engineers’ & Designers’ Lighting) specialised in industrial lighting and cable management solutions. By the mid-century, they were best known for their rugged task lamps—functional yet refined pieces that now appeal to collectors and interior designers for their utilitarian beauty and vintage authenticity.

This lamp has been professionally rewired for modern use, featuring a new bulb holder, twisted black cord and a standard UK 3-pin plug – ready for safe and stylish use in any contemporary space.

A highly collectible example of authentic British industrial design – ideal for desks, studios, or interiors with character.
