Description
This is a lamp base rather than a finished lamp: a rounded, curving form in satin nickel that rises to a single E27 lampholder, ready for a shade of your own choosing. The silhouette is simple and softly swollen at the foot, so it reads as quiet metalwork rather than something asking for attention. A switch sits inline on the flex, which means you can reach it without groping over the top of the shade, and the whole thing stands 39cm tall on a footprint of 18cm. The shade and the lamp are not included; see our lamp shades.
It earns its keep beside a bed, on a hall console, at one end of a sideboard or on a desk where a small pool of light is all that is wanted. We reach for a base like this when a customer already has a shade they love, or wants two lamps in a room wearing different shades to break up the symmetry. Fitted with a dimmable lamp and paired with a compatible dimmer, it will take light levels down for an evening; otherwise the inline switch does the job. We would put an LED lamp in it, up to 20W, and choose the shade before the lamp so the two suit each other.
The satin nickel has a low, brushed sheen that keeps fingerprints and smears from showing the way a polished finish does, and the build is double insulated. To keep it looking right, unplug it and go over the metal with a dry duster now and then; skip metal polishes and household sprays, which will dull the satin over time. It carries a one year warranty.

Frequently Asked
Does it come with a shade?
No. It is sold as a base with the lampholder exposed, so you pick the shade yourself and can change it later without replacing the lamp. Choose one from our lamp shades.
What lamp does it take?
One E27 screw-fit lamp, up to 20W. Lamps are not included, and an LED is the sensible choice here.
Can it be dimmed?
Yes, provided you fit a lamp marked as dimmable and use a dimmer rated to work with it. On its own the base is switched, not dimmed.
How is it turned on and off?
There is an inline switch on the flex, which sits within easy reach on a bedside table or desk.
What are the dimensions?
It measures 390mm in height with a base diameter of 180mm, and weighs 2kg.
How should the satin nickel be cleaned?
Unplug it first, then wipe with a soft dry cloth. Avoid polishes, abrasive creams and solvent sprays, as these can flatten the satin sheen.
