is this lamp good for desk work as well as computer whose key board is a few inches lower than the desk?

I think so-- the flexible neck makes it able to be positioned in various ways. For example, we have it to the side of the computer to shine on the keyboard without glare on the screen and it does that effectively.

A perfect lamp for the desk.. Love the weight of it, the ability to readjust the direction or level of height and the different dimmable levels. I haven't used it to illuminate my keyboard and think it may not be easy to position it to use it fully unless you have lots of space on the keyboard area. It is heavily weighted so could sit close to the edge of a desk without fear of tipping over. I love this lamp and will be getting more for Christmas presents for the grandchildren to use in their homes. Love the no heat so little hands aren't getting burned when they try to adjust it for night time reading.

The arm doesn't go completely vertical, but extended as shown in the photo, the top pivot is about 16" above the desk, and the bottom of the lamp shade (where you place the bulb) is about 11" above the desk.

Yes I'm sure. I use mine in a desk. I have an upright piano and if I need it this lamp is just fine. The base is large enough and the lamp will not tilt

It is a standard-size keyboard with a small footprint and no number keys, so it takes up little space on the desk. So I'd say no -- the keys are the same size and same distance apart as any other keyboard.

It is a desk lamp but the lamp base is quite large. I returned it without using it.

Sorry, but I don't think this will work for you. The top part of the clamp comes over the top of my desk a good inch before the bottom part can secure it tightly. It is a great lamp but it is very top heavy...

I would expect that it would work in an architect desk lamp. It is not that heavy that it would make the lamp unuseable.

It doesn't go higher than the level of the desk. At the highest setting, it will be about an inch lower. If you want the keyboard at desk level or higher, this is probably not the option you would prefer.

I am an artist and use this lamp to work on close drawings. It has a flexible neck, so you can bend it down to shine on a specific place. You could also use it as a reading lamp directly on a book. But I would not use it as the only lighting source in a room.but as the only lamp in a room it would be kind of odd

This desk is more suitable to place a printer on. It has a shelf at the bottom so you really couldn't put your feet underneath the desk. I have my desk next to my computer and I enjoy glancing at the TV so I have it on the top of the desk and I put my printer on the bottom shelf. After sending my original answer to you, I realized that it probably would work for you as I am not using the pull out shelf for the keyboard.

I use this in my office and also have a light on my desk and a double window, so for me it is good. Compared to most light kits, I would say it's about equal. None of those kits are like flourescent lights!

No. I purchased a tube florescent lamp to install, but returned it when I realized I could also use a small desk lamp. Great desk if you you will not be moving it.

Not in my experience. I rely on a floor lamp for my office desk light and i love it.

No, they are low voltage and just accent lights. Would not provide enough light for a desk lamp.

Very few desk lamps have 300W bulbs - that is awfully bright. Also the lamp head is only about 17 inches above the base and aimed down. So, no, it wouldn't be as bright as a 300W bulb, but it is much brighter than most comparable LED lamps. It also offers a variety of color temperature choices that aid clarity.

The footprint of the base is 24'' deep which includes the extra 5.75'' "feet" that comes out to add stability. The keyboard tray and these feet would likely stick out a bit but if that's not a concern then you should be fine.

Well that is an awfully short table! I actually move my keyboard to the lower shelf that sits on the desk and the mouse to the side when I need to sit. Otherwise I put it on the top platform as pictured when standing.
