Description
A table lamp, 39cm wide, in white. At 39cm wide it is about the width of a laptop.
Cool tones settle beside grey, blue and black without any effort. Against a warm timber they need something to mediate, or the two simply sit next to each other. Fired ceramic is hard, wipeable and heavy enough not to travel when it is knocked. It will chip rather than dent, so it belongs somewhere it is not being caught by a sleeve. It comes with its shade, so there is no second purchase to make it usable.
E27 lampholder, 1 of them up to 10-12W LED, and no bulb in the box. Because it is E27, bulbs are stocked everywhere and you are never tied to one supplier. There is no dimmer, so the character of the light is set by the bulb you choose: 2700K reads warm, 4000K reads cool and clinical. 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.
A felt base means it can sit on a waxed top without leaving a ring. It weighs 2.6kg, 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.
A shade does two jobs at once and they pull against each other: it hides the bulb from your eye, and it decides how much light escapes sideways rather than up and down. A dense fabric does the first well and the second hardly at all. Bought as a pair they read as deliberate rather than repetitive, and at this width two sit either side of a bed without taking the table over.
