high intensity - Anything In Particular https://anythinginparticular.co.uk/product-tag/high-intensity/ From antique to vintage, from decorative to downright bizarre.

Superbly engineered and housed in a glossy black plastic casing, the NA-101 lamp has two light modes and the clever design allows for it to function not only as a small but highly adjustable desk lamp but also as a small nightlight.  With the light mode set to "low" and the shade positioned onto the top of the base, the lamp is a sleek bullet-shaped light providing soft illumination. With the arms extended, the transparent rim of the shade becomes a feature in itself, whether in "low" or "high" modes. The shade is rotatable providing even more flexibility.

A stand which otherwise sits snugly inside the base can be extended out to provide extra stability. Overall, this is a stunning piece of design: form and function working in harmony.  When folded into its bullet shape, the lamp measures no more than 8cm x 19cm and fully extended measures approximately 41cm.

This particular example is in very good condition. There are minor surface scratches and marks to the plastic casing, which would be expected of a used item of this age. The metal armatures are good with only very superficial blemishes. Neither of these is very noticeable and we would state that is one of the better examples you might come across.  Small, but perfectly formed!

Ltd.  (NA-416) offers two lamp settings (low and high intensity) and rotatable and adjustable shade to direct light where you need it. The aluminium armature is also highly adjustable making this little light very useful indeed, particularly in smaller spaces.  We like its unusual size and think the lamp has a particularly appealing character of its own.

The construction is a mix of white/cream and grey plastic and metal, with a wood effect plastic topping to the base - very 70s!  The base also features an illuminated on/off button which is very appealing when lit and a switch for the two lamp modes. There is a distinct difference between the low and high settings of this lamp, which is not always the case with lamps of this type.

The lamp base measures 8cm by 9cm by 6cm (3¼ in. x 3½ in. x 2½ in.) and the arms extend in two sections to approximately 40cm (16 in.).  The lamp is in fully working condition and good visual condition, with just some minor defects which we will draw your attention to. The worst of these is some damage to the edge of the plastic base housing, but it's not very noticeable in ordinary use. We have added felt pads to the underneath of the base where it appears a pair of original plastic "feet" have perished. As is often the case with plastics of this era there is some slight discoloration due to sunlight exposure, but this particular example is quite good in that area.

The lamp takes two small bayonet 12V15CP bulbs which are widely available.
