Description
A tall, plain column in matt black, this one is supplied without a shade so you can pick the covering that suits the room. Three E14 holders sit together at the top, drawing light from candle lamps, and a foot switch on the flex keeps switching down at floor level rather than up under the shade. The base measures 30cm across, giving it a steady footing on carpet or boards, and the column rises to 1.6m. With suitable lamps and a separate dimmer, it will dim.
We reach for this where a table lamp cannot lift light high enough: the corner of a sitting room, behind a wing chair, or at the end of a sofa where a reading light earns its keep. Seated, the lamps sit above eye level, so light falls onto a book rather than glaring back at you. It suits anyone who already has a shade in mind, or who wants to match a floor lamp to curtains and cushions they are keeping. Small candle lamps are what we would fit, and the foot switch means no groping about for a rocker on the flex.
The build is straightforward: a slender upright on a weighted foot, finished in matt black with a low sheen that shrugs off fingerprints better than gloss would. It is double insulated, and it carries a one year warranty. Keep it looking well by running a duster down the column and over the foot switch, with the lamps off and cool before you touch them. We like it as a base to build on: a linen drum keeps things calm, a pale card shade throws more light down, and a black shade in the same finish reads as one piece. The shade and lamps are chosen separately.

Frequently Asked
What lamps does it take?
Three E14 lamps, and we would choose LED candle lamps in the C35 shape. The maximum is 20W per lamp.
How tall is it, and how much floor does it need?
It stands 1600mm high and the base is 300mm in diameter, so it tucks neatly into a corner or beside a chair.
Is a shade included?
No. It is sold as a base without a shade, which lets you match the covering to the room. Lamps are supplied separately too.
Can it be dimmed?
Yes, provided you use dimmable lamps with a compatible dimmer. No dimmer is included with the lamp.
How is it switched on?
By a foot switch on the flex, so there is no need to reach up to the lamp holders.
How should I clean it?
A dry duster along the column and foot is all it usually needs. Switch off and let the lamps cool first, and keep moisture away from the holders.
