What bulb should I use?

A warm-white LED, around 2700K. Never incandescent or halogen - the heat will warp the shade.

Does it come with a bulb or wiring?

Check the listing description for what is included. Where a kit is not supplied, the fitting is a standard size so an off-the-shelf LED kit will work.

What colour will it arrive in?

The colour shown in the photographs on the product page. Custom colours are available on request as a custom run.

Can I order a larger quantity?

Yes. There is no minimum, bulk pricing applies automatically, and larger runs get a confirmed lead time before you commit.

Description

A modern desk lamp with a printed shade that puts light on the desk rather than in your eyes.

The shade is angled and deep, which is the whole difference between a desk lamp and a decorative one — the light lands on the work surface and the bulb stays out of your sightline when you are sitting at it. Clean modern lines, a weighted base that does not wander, and a shade that reads as a sculptural object when the lamp is off.

What makes it worth it

Deep angled shade that keeps the bulb out of your sightline
Light directed onto the work surface, not across the room
Sized for a standard LED bulb or LED light kit
Weighted base that stays put when you knock the desk
Sculptural form that earns its space unlit
Any colour we stock — warm tones glow, matte black stays graphic

Made for

Desks, study tables and workbenches
Reading corners and bedside tables
Home offices lit only by a harsh ceiling fixture
Gifts for people who work late

A warm 2700K LED is what this shade was designed around. LEDs only — they run cool, which is what makes a printed shade safe in the first place.

Printed to order in Canada

Every Compl3x piece is printed and finished by hand in our own Canadian workshop after you order it, so nothing sits in a warehouse and nothing is mass-produced. Colour options and custom sizing are a conversation, not a no — just ask.

Care

Use with an LED bulb or LED light kit only — LEDs run cool. Dust with a dry, soft brush or cloth. Do not fit an incandescent or halogen bulb.

Made to order, in Canada

This piece is not sitting in a warehouse. It is produced in our own studio after you order it, in the colour shown in the photographs on this page, then finished and checked by hand before it is boxed. Custom colours are possible on request - ask us before ordering and we will tell you what we can do.

Because nothing is mass-produced in advance, quantity is not a problem. One piece and twenty pieces are the same conversation, and bulk pricing applies automatically as the number goes up.

Living with it

Use LED bulbs only. Incandescent and halogen bulbs run hot enough to soften printed materials, and that deformation is permanent. A modern LED runs barely warm, which is what makes printed shades practical at all. Dust settles in the ridges - a soft brush clears it in seconds.

Bulb colour changes this piece more than anything else. A warm bulb around 2700K reads as lamplight through a printed shade; a cool 5000K bulb reads as a fridge. Most disappointment with decorative lighting traces back to the bulb rather than the fixture.

Delivery and returns

Dispatched within one to two business days. From there it is two to three days to Ontario and Quebec, three to five to the Prairies and BC, four to six to Atlantic Canada, and longer to the territories. Delivery times for your province.

Free shipping on orders over $200. Below that it is a flat rate we do not pad, and there is never duty or a brokerage fee, because nothing crosses a border to reach you. If something arrives damaged, send us a photo and we will reprint it.
