Description
A floor lamp, 63cm tall, in natural. At 26cm wide it is about the width of a laptop.
A natural surface lightens or mellows slightly with sunlight over a few years. That is the material ageing rather than the finish failing, and most people prefer it at five years to how it looked at one. Iron is the traditional choice for a reason: it takes heat, weight and time without complaint. It will mark if it is left wet, so indoors or under cover is where it belongs. It arrives complete with its shade, which is not always true at this price.
It takes 2 E14 screw-fit bulbs up to 6-9W LED. E14 is the commonest fitting on any supermarket shelf, so replacements are never a hunt. There is no dimmer, so the character of the light is set by the bulb you choose: 2700K reads warm, 4000K reads cool and clinical. The cable is black, with a foot switch you can reach without groping behind furniture, and a uk 3 pin with 3 amp fuse already fitted. The head adjusts, so you can aim the light at a book rather than a ceiling. A Candle shaped bulb, which is the word to look for on the box.
At 3.1kg the weight is in the base, which is what stops a tall lamp walking when it is knocked. Wood. Metal.
The light you actually see is the light that comes THROUGH the shade, not the light from the bulb. That is why the same bulb reads warm behind a cream fabric and cold behind a white one. Dust is the whole of the maintenance and it matters more than it sounds: an even film of dust on a shade dims a room by more than most people would guess, and a soft brush restores it in a minute.
