Good desk lamp all plastic, it has a very stable foot (weight below) and small non-slip pads. The cord is about 1.90 meter and the interuptor thereon is about 20 cm from the lamp. I would have much preferred it to be on foot, which was just fine for a desk lamp. The LED lighting is very effective for 4 Watts consumed, its lights very well even in the dark you can read or work without problems. The orientation of the head is notched so no problem to adjust the lighting angle.
