Description
The Banyan stands on a matt black frame with a wide drum shade in dual faux silk, raw cocoa outside with a Grecian bronze lining that warms the light as it falls. Three E14 lamps sit inside, so the shade fills evenly rather than glowing from a single hot spot, and a foot switch sits on the flex so you can turn it on without bending down. At 50cm across, the shade is generous without crowding the floor around it.
We reach for a lamp like this where a room needs light at head height rather than from the ceiling: behind a sofa, in the corner of a sitting room, or beside a reading chair where a table lamp would sit too low. Standing 1.6m tall, it puts light down over a shoulder and up across the wall behind. The foot switch keeps the controls at toe level, which suits a lamp that tends to live tucked behind furniture. It will dim with suitable lamps and a compatible dimmer, neither of which is supplied.
The frame carries a matt black finish that does not throw reflections, and the shade is faux silk fabric, so it wants keeping dry. Dust it with a soft brush or the upholstery tool on a vacuum, and give the metalwork a dry cloth when the lamp is off and cool. Built as a double insulated fitting for dry rooms indoors, it runs on an ordinary household supply and takes small candle lamps with an E14 cap; we would choose warm white LED candles here for the way they sit inside the bronze lining. It carries a one year warranty. Lamps are not included.

Frequently Asked
How many lamps does it take, and what type?
Three, each with an E14 screw cap, rated up to 20W per lamp. LED candle lamps in the C35 shape are the sensible choice.
How tall is it and how much floor space does it need?
It stands 1600mm tall with a 500mm diameter shade, so allow a little clearance around the top as well as room for the base.
Can it be dimmed?
Yes, provided you use dimmable lamps and a compatible dimmer. No dimmer is supplied with the lamp.
How is it switched?
By a foot switch on the flex, so you can operate it without reaching behind furniture.
How do I clean the fabric shade?
Keep it dry. Lift dust off with a soft brush or a vacuum upholstery tool, working gently across the weave rather than pressing into it.
Is it suitable for a conservatory or bathroom?
It is intended for dry indoor rooms only, so a heated conservatory is fine but a bathroom or an unheated porch is not.
