Description
A small wooden base, barely wider than a mug and lower still, holding a single E27 socket with an inline switch on the flex. It measures 10cm across, so it takes up almost nothing on a surface, and the lamp you choose becomes the thing you actually see. Suggested shapes run from ordinary pear-shaped GLS lamps through globes of several sizes to squirrel cage and tubular styles, which gives plenty of scope to change the mood without changing the fitting. We would reach for a warm filament-style LED globe here.
It suits a bedside, a shelf of books, a windowsill, the corner of a desk or a hall table where anything taller would crowd things. The inline switch sits on the flex, so it can be found by hand without reaching behind furniture, and with a suitable dimmable lamp and a dimmer the light can be taken right down for evenings. Maximum lamp rating is 40W, which keeps you comfortably within the LED shapes suggested. We often propose a pair, one either side of a bed or bracketing a mantelpiece, since the footprint is small enough to allow it.
The body is wood, finished plainly so the grain reads through, and the lamp is double insulated. With the power off and the lamp cooled, a dry brush or cloth is all the wood wants; keep sprays, polish and damp away from it. Dry indoor rooms only, on a normal household supply. It carries a one year warranty. We also stock this same base in black, which is the one to pick if you want the fitting to recede against darker furniture rather than add warmth to the surface it stands on. Lamps are not included.

Frequently Asked
How big is it?
The base is 100mm in diameter and 80mm high, so it needs only a small patch of shelf, sill or bedside table. The lamp you fit will add its own height above that.
Which lamps can I use?
It takes one E27 lamp up to 40W. LED versions of GLS A60 and A75, globes in G80, G95 and G120, ST64 squirrel cage and T45 tubular shapes are all suitable, so you can go discreet or decorative.
Can it be dimmed?
Yes, provided you fit a dimmable lamp and use it with a compatible dimmer. The inline switch on the flex is on and off only.
How do I clean the wood?
Switch off at the socket, let the lamp cool, then wipe or brush the base dry. Avoid water, household sprays and furniture polish on the timber.
Is it suitable for a bathroom or outdoors?
No. It is rated IP20 and intended for dry indoor rooms such as bedrooms, hallways and studies.
What warranty applies?
It carries a one year warranty from the manufacturer.
