The Anglepoise Type 80 W2 Wall Light, designed by Sir Kenneth Grange, is a precision-engineered decorative wall lamp from the Type 80 range. Its compact, metal construction and signature Type 80 shade respond to both task and directional ambient lighting needs.Formally the fitting pairs a cylindrical upper housing with a conical bell-shaped shade; an intentional horizontal gap between the two creates a subtle upward ‘halo’ while the conical profile directs light downwards. The W2 is offered in Matt Black and Grey Mist finishes for a restrained contemporary palette.Built in metal with brushed-metal pivot details, the shade interior is finished in a light off-white to optimise reflection. Key dimensions: shade diameter ⌀14.5cm, shade height 16cm, wall plate ⌀9cm and a maximum reach of 32cm from the wall.Light is delivered as a focused, downward task beam with a complementary upward spill from the gap, giving clarity to surfaces while adding gentle atmosphere to the wall plane. Two points of articulation — at the wall and at the lamp neck — allow confident directional adjustment for reading, task or accent lighting.The W2 is designed for fixed, hardwired installation and shows a compact circular wall plate with a visible set screw and a lower cable exit point. It carries an IP20 rating and is intended for indoor use only.
