Description
A glass table lamp, 35cm wide, in clear. At 35cm wide it is about the width of a laptop.
The finish is the argument here: against a white wall a warm metal reads as jewellery, and against a dark or panelled wall it reads as architectural. Cast and wrought iron are heavy by nature, and that weight is doing a job: it keeps the piece where it is put rather than shifting every time something brushes past. Iron also holds a hand-worked line that a machine-pressed metal cannot. The shade is included rather than sold alongside, which is worth checking against anything cheaper.
Wiring is for 1 E27 lamp up to 10-12W LED, supplied separately. E27 is the standard screw fitting, so a replacement is a supermarket purchase rather than a specialist one. It is not dimmable, which means you choose the warmth at the bulb rather than at the switch: a 2700K bulb will do more here than a dimmer would. The cable is black, with an in-line switch you can reach without groping behind furniture, and a uk 3 pin with 3 amp fuse already fitted. The head adjusts, so you can aim the light at a book rather than a ceiling.
The base is felted, which matters if it is going on a polished or waxed surface. It weighs 2.28kg, which is enough to stay put when the flex is tugged. A GLS shaped bulb, which is the word to look for on the box.
Two shades of the same size can light a room completely differently depending on how open the top and bottom are. A narrow top pushes light down into a pool; a wide one lets it wash the ceiling as well. A pair reads as deliberate rather than repetitive, and at this width two will sit either side of a bed without crowding the table.
