Description
The Brilbette is a mother and child floor lamp. A tall steel stem in a matt brass finish carries a white uplighter bowl at the top, with a slim adjustable reading arm and a small white shade set partway along its length. It stands 176.5cm tall, is 27.5cm in diameter and rests on a round base with a 23cm diameter. The shades are white, in plastic and glass. The lamp uses an E27 fitting rated at a maximum of 60W, and the bulb is not included, so the warmth and brightness are your choice. It is rated IP20, which settles where it belongs: indoors and dry, in living spaces rather than a bathroom or a porch.
Two lights on one stand is the reason people choose a mother and child lamp. The bowl sends light up towards the ceiling for a soft, general glow across the room. The reading arm bends to put light just where you want it, over a book, a crossword or a piece of knitting beside an armchair or sofa. It suits a lounge corner, a bedroom reading spot or a study. Because it stands on the floor, it needs no ceiling point and moves with the furniture whenever you rearrange the room. The matt brass finish is warm without being shiny, so it sits comfortably alongside wood, linen and neutral walls.
The body is steel, and steel is strong and rigid, which suits a stem this tall. Packed, the lamp weighs 4.305KG. A cord switch controls the light, so there is no reaching for the shade. The lamp runs on 230-240V, 50/60Hz, the usual UK household supply. Choose a bulb no stronger than 60W for the E27 fitting, and pick a warm white if the lamp is going into a sitting room for evenings.
