Anglepoise Original 1227 Desk Lamp

Bond's apartment in SPECTRE doesn't have much in it, but next to the leather chair we can spot a black Anglepoise Original 1227 Desk Lamp.

In No Time To Die, we can spot a white or grey colored Anglepoise Original 1227 Desk Lamp on the boat where James Bond meets Felix Leiter and Logan Ash. The lamp can be seen during the fight scene inside the boat.

The Anglepoise lamp is an iconic design from British designer George Carwardine. The 1227 model was released in 1935, 3 years after the first Anglepoise lamp. An Anglepoise lamp uses a spring mechanism which gives it the possibility to set the light in different positions.

The lamp has become a design classic, and is still available almost unchanged, to this day. There are now several color variations available. The lamp in Bond's apartment in SPECTRE is the Deep Slate (almost Black) model, most likely with the Brass hardware and the twisted wire.

The Anglepoise Original 1227 Desk Lamp in Deep Slate is available at UNCRATE.

You can also try Amazon UK (£195), or Anglepoise EU (€295) or Anglepoise USA ($295320) or Nordstrom (Brass version) and Nordstrom (Metal).

Note that there also is a Mini desk lamp version of the same lamp (which is cheaper), and a Giant floor lamp version, so make sure to get the regular Original 1227 Desk Lamp size if you want the same lamp as seen in the film. Also most versions are the non-Brass version.

In the same apartment we can see the Royal Doulton Bulldog (M's gift to Bond).

Anglepoise in other Bond films

Anglepoise desk lamps can also be spotted in the movie SkyFall, in the new 'underground' MI6 office. Some secret service employees have aluminum and black Anglepoise Type 75 lamps on their desk. Bill Tanner first uses an Anglepoise Type 75 lamp to check out the bullet fragments given to him by Bond, and later he has an Anglepoise Type 1228 on his desk in the room of M, who also has an Anglepoise Type 1228 on her new undergound desk, which replaced the Artemide Tolomeo that she had on her desk before the explosion at MI6 Headquarters.
