A flexible task light, the Patsy Post lamp has a long arm that is easy to adjust in height and rotation. A lacquered burnished brass finish, accented with a black fabric cord communicates a polished, contemporary look. This desk lamp makes use of its black cloth covered cord and a special spring hidden in the base to balance its arm at any angle you choose to pose it. A small but powerful cylinder shade holds an energy-efficient 7 Watt LED that is replaceable. The simple 4-way touch dimmer switch is located at the end of the shade. For added functionality, the base of the lamp houses an integrated Qi-certified charging pad, supporting 5W charging on contact to get your phone from 0% to 100% in just 3-4 hours.

Q&A answers generated with AI assistance.
What is the best height for a task lamp like this one on a home office desk?
With a height of 25 inches, this lamp is ideally sized for most professional desks and executive workspaces. Our design experts recommend a task lamp that sits between 24 and 30 inches tall to ensure the light source is positioned above your sightline while seated, providing ample illumination for documents and screens without causing direct glare.
What is the best way to clean and preserve the burnished brass finish?
To maintain the polished look of the lacquered burnished brass, we recommend dusting the metal base and shade regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Because the brass is lacquered to prevent tarnishing, avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive polishes, as these can strip the protective coating. For any stubborn spots, our general care guidelines suggest a slightly damp cloth with mild soap, followed immediately by a dry wipe.
Is this lamp a good choice for a small apartment or a shared workspace?
This lamp is exceptionally well-suited for urban apartment living or compact home offices. By integrating a Qi-charging pad and a USB port directly into the base, it eliminates the need for bulky charging bricks and extra cables, effectively reclaiming valuable surface area on your desk. Its flexible, rotating arm also allows you to direct light exactly where it's needed, making it a powerful tool in multifunctional rooms where space is at a premium.
Is the built-in wireless charging pad safe for all smartphones?
Yes, the integrated charging pad is Qi-certified, which is the global standard for safe, reliable wireless power transfer. It provides 5W of charging on contact, capable of bringing most compatible phones from 0% to 100% in approximately 3 to 4 hours. For added versatility, a side-mounted USB port allows you to charge a second device, such as a tablet or smartwatch, simultaneously.
How does the dimming feature help with eye strain during late-night work?
This lamp features an energy-efficient 7-Watt LED paired with a 4-way touch dimmer located conveniently at the end of the shade. This allows you to precisely transition from a bright, focused beam for high-detail tasks to a softer, warmer glow for evening reading. Utilizing the lower dimming levels in a dark room helps reduce the high-contrast glare that often leads to digital eye strain.
How does the hidden spring mechanism balance the lamp arm over time?
Unlike standard lamps that rely on exterior tension knobs that can loosen, this model uses a specialized spring hidden within the metal base. This internal balancing system works in tandem with the black fabric-covered cord to hold the long arm securely at any angle or rotation you select. This professional-grade construction ensures the lamp remains stable and perfectly posed throughout years of adjustment.
