We couldn't resist asking some seriously talented designers and crafters which one of our lamps is their absolute favourite. All struggled to nominate one lamp as those we asked said that they had more than one favourite! After some deliberation, each managed to nominate one and gave their reasons why...
"I love the Foldi lamp (#D45001). I can take it camping, canal boating or even to dimly lit youth hostels and holiday cottages, and always have brilliant light to sew by. It is also great for bat watching; shine it out over a dark canal and it lights up both the insects and the bats as they swoop in to eat them!"

“My chosen lamp is the artist clip-on studio lamp (# D31475). The flexible manoeuvrability of this lamp gives fantastic light over a wide area enabling me to work for longer periods of time. I will be looking to purchase its companion the easel lamp (# D31075) for my draughtsman's easel for optimum Daylight coverage."

"I would pick (#D21038) as my favourite. Living in a small house without a designated craft area this lamp is perfect because it combines all its functionality with classic good looks which fit comfortably into a living room without looking utilitarian."

"For me it would have to be the twist portable lamp (#D33707) as I am a multi-crafter. I live in a cottage in the West of Ireland and we get a lot of rain, therefore a lot of grey days, not helped by small cottage windows so a daylight lamp is a life saver! This twist portable lamp is perfect as I flit between my kitchen table sewing, to my desk where I sketch my ideas and by my sofa crocheting so I can simply take it with me. Not only that but I travel a lot to craft fairs so it's fantastic that it folds up so I can take it with me."
