Pablo Circa Desk Lamp, Tilting 360 Degree Flat-Panel LED Disc with Built-In USB-A Charger

A slim desk lamp with a tilting flat LED disc that gives soft, even light and charges your phone from its own USB-A port.

Modern Design Center curates lamps that work hard in small spaces, and the Circa Table does that with one moving part: a 12 in (30.5 cm) LED disc that turns through 360 degrees and tilts 45 degrees in two directions. Aim it at the page, bounce it off a wall, or turn it flat for ambient glow. A touch-style optical switch dims from 100% to 10%, and the base carries a USB-A port for a phone or tablet.

Best for / where to use it

• Home desks: a low-glare task light with a phone charger built in.
• Nightstands and side tables: soft light that can be tilted away from a sleeping partner.
• Hotel rooms and hospitality: a guest-friendly lamp with a charging port on the base.
• Offices and reception desks: ADA and Title 20 compliant lighting for commercial fit-outs.
• Dorms and studio apartments: small footprint with ambient and task light in one fixture.

Installation & planning

• Plug-in: no hardwiring needed. Allow an outlet within the 8 ft (244 cm) cable.
• Ships flat-packed; assembly steps are in Pablo's user guide below.
• The disc is 12 in across, so leave about that much clearance when you rotate it.
• Pablo also makes a grommet version of Circa for surface-mounting through a worksurface; this listing is for the freestanding table version.
• Choose White to blend into a light interior or Graphite for contrast.

Who this is not for

• Anyone who needs a tightly focused reading beam: the disc gives broad, even light.
• Bright-light work areas: output is 500 lm, so it suits a desk, not a whole room.
• Cool-white preferences: color temperature is fixed at 2700K.
• Damp or outdoor locations: Pablo publishes no damp or wet rating.
