Description
The Bowie is a compact table lamp in the shape of a cylinder, with an alabaster shade set on an iron base and a cream textile cable. Its column rises in stacked bands with a ribbed white cap towards the foot, and when the lamp is on the alabaster glows softly, its grey veining showing through the stone. It stands 19.5cm tall, with a 7cm shade on a 10cm base, so it needs very little room. The light is an integrated LED, so there is no bulb to fit or replace. It draws 5W and gives 400 lumens of warm 3000K light, with a CRI of 85 or above, so colours look natural beneath it.
Its size suits the places where a larger lamp would crowd things: a bedside table, a side table beside an armchair, a hallway console or a shelf in a living room or study. With a 180 degree beam angle the light spreads out and around rather than pooling in one spot, so it works best as a gentle accent or a soft evening light rather than for close reading. The 2m cable gives some freedom in where it sits. It is rated IP20, which means it is for dry indoor rooms only. We think it suits anyone who likes modern pieces built around a natural material.
The construction is straightforward: an alabaster shade, an iron base and a cream textile cable, the cream sitting gently against the pale stone. It runs on 220-240V and carries a 5 year guarantee. With an integrated LED, there is never a bulb to change. For styling, we like it against warm woods, linen and soft neutral walls, where its warm glow sits comfortably, and a pair either side of a bed or on a long console gives a calm, balanced look.
