Description
Sand black, low and round, this is a table lamp reduced to its essentials: a compact base, a rotary dimmer under the hand, and an E27 holder left open for the lamp of your choosing. Because so little is hidden, the lamp itself becomes the ornament, and the shapes that suit it run from a plain GLS to a full globe, a squirrel cage ST64 or a slim tubular T45. The base measures 7cm across and 11cm tall, so it takes up next to no room on a shelf edge or a crowded bedside table.
We reach for this where a light needs to sit low and stay quiet: beside a bed, on a hall table beneath a mirror, at the end of a run of books, or paired on a sideboard. The rotary dimmer sits on the body, so brightness is set by hand rather than at the wall, and it will wind down to a soft glow last thing at night when a dimmable lamp is fitted. Up to 40W is permitted, though a modest LED gives all the light a base this size needs. It suits renters and anyone who rearranges often, since it lifts and moves to another socket without fuss.
The sand black finish is matt rather than glossy, dark enough to read as a silhouette against a pale wall. A dry cloth over the body is all the cleaning it wants, worked gently around the dimmer knob, with the power off first and any warmth from the lamp allowed to fade. It carries a one year warranty. We also stock the same base in satin nickel and pearl black, worth knowing if you would rather the fitting stepped back than stood out. Lamps are not included.

Frequently Asked
What size lamp can I fit?
The E27 holder takes lamps rated up to 40W. Recommended shapes include GLS A60 and A75, globes from G80 up to G120, ST64 squirrel cage and T45 tubular, so you can go from discreet to deliberately oversized.
Will it dim with any lamp?
No. The rotary dimmer on the body needs a lamp that is itself marked as dimmable and compatible with a trailing edge or leading edge dimmer. A non-dimmable LED may flicker, buzz or refuse to dim.
How big is the base?
It is 70mm in diameter and 110mm tall, weighing 0.46kg, so it is small and light enough for a narrow shelf, a desk corner or a bedside table already carrying books.
Is it suitable for a bathroom or outdoors?
No. It is rated for dry indoor rooms only, so keep it away from wet areas, unheated outbuildings and anywhere it could be splashed.
How is it switched?
By the rotary dimmer built into the lamp itself, turned by hand to set the level and to switch off, which means no reliance on a wall dimmer.
Does it need earthing?
It is Class 2, double insulated, so no earth connection is required.
