Cara 1 Light Crystal Table Lamp - Satin Nickel

The Cara is a 420mm crystal table lamp built around a curved satin nickel frame that loops from a circular base up to a faceted crystal shade at the head. Two cut crystal spheres sit on the frame loop as accent points, catching and reflecting light when the lamp is lit. The shade itself is a hemisphere encrusted with small faceted crystals set into a satin nickel framework, creating a textured surface that scatters light across the surrounding area.

Designed for bedside tables, console tables and desk corners, the Cara provides both task and decorative lighting. The curved frame keeps the footprint compact at 180mm diameter while lifting the light source to 420mm above the surface, positioning it at a useful height for reading in bed or illuminating a desk. The G9 fitting accepts any standard G9 capsule bulb up to 33W (sold separately), and the lamp is dimmable when paired with a suitable G9 dimmable bulb and compatible dimmer switch.

The satin nickel finish on the frame and shade framework gives a brushed metallic appearance that softens reflections compared to polished chrome, pairing comfortably with both contemporary and traditional interiors. The crystal spheres and faceted shade crystals are clear, allowing the light to pass through while adding prismatic dispersion. At 1.8kg, the lamp has enough mass to sit stable on a bedside table or narrow console without tipping when the cable is moved.

What bulb does the Cara take?

The lamp takes a single G9 capsule bulb up to 33W, sold separately. Most users pair this with a 3-5W LED G9 bulb in 2700K-3000K warm white for bedside or desk lighting. G9 bulbs are smaller than standard E27 fittings and push directly into the socket rather than screwing in.

Is it dimmable?

Yes, when fitted with a dimmable G9 bulb and connected to a compatible dimmer switch. Not all G9 LED bulbs are dimmable, so check the bulb specification before purchase if dimming is required.

What is the footprint on a bedside table?

The circular base measures 180mm diameter, roughly the size of a standard saucer. The curved frame extends slightly beyond the base but keeps the overall footprint compact enough for most bedside tables and narrow console surfaces.

How is the crystal shade cleaned?

Switch off and allow the bulb to cool fully before cleaning. Use a dry microfibre cloth to dust the crystals. For fingerprints or stubborn marks, a barely-damp cloth with distilled water is acceptable, but avoid soaking the metal framework or getting water inside the bulb socket.
