Description
Purple runs right through this lamp holder, from the 90mm plastic base to the soft silicone sleeve over the holder itself. It takes an E27 lamp and hangs on a flex that can be set at any height up to 1.5m, so the drop is yours to decide. The purple is muted rather than bright, quiet enough to sit happily against timber, brick and painted plaster. We like it as a way of bringing colour into a room without buying a shade at all.
This is a fitting for a lamp that is meant to be seen: a globe, a squirrel cage, a coloured or smoked glass bulb left open above a worktop or a table. The lamp rating keeps it to 20W, which in practice means LED, and with a suitable lamp and a compatible dimmer the light can be dimmed. We would use it in a kitchen, a study, a child's room or a rented flat where a light touch of colour goes further than a large fitting. Hung low over a bedside table it earns its place; hung in a row along an island it reads as deliberate.
The base is moulded plastic and the cover flexible silicone. Both wipe clean once the power is off and the lamp has gone cold: a barely damp cloth on the purple, then dry it off. Nothing abrasive, and no solvents near the silicone. It is double insulated and belongs in dry indoor rooms, away from splashes and steam. It carries a two year warranty. The wider range also takes in small ceiling lights in metal finishes including matt black, satin nickel and antique brass, along with frame-only curved pendants, so a purple flex can be mixed with plainer fittings elsewhere in the house. Lamps are not included.

Frequently Asked
What lamp does it take?
One E27 lamp of up to 20W. LED is the sensible choice at that rating, and the lamp is bought separately.
Can the light be dimmed?
Yes, provided you fit a dimmable lamp and pair it with a dimmer that suits that lamp.
How low will it hang?
The drop is adjustable from 180mm at its shortest to 1500mm at full length, so it works over a low table or from a tall ceiling.
How big is the base?
The plastic base measures 90mm across, and the whole fitting weighs 0.18kg.
What is the silicone cover for?
It sleeves the lampholder, adding the purple colour and a soft finish where a bare lamp sits in full view.
Is it suitable for a bathroom?
No. It is rated for dry indoor use only, so keep it clear of showers, baths and steam.
