Description
Small enough to sit behind a sofa unnoticed, this little uplighter stands 225mm tall and sends its light up a wall rather than out across the room. The polished chrome finish is bright and mirror-clean, holding its own even on a dark shelf. It takes one GU10 reflector lamp, and we would choose an LED for the low running cost and the neat, controlled beam. An inline switch on the flex keeps control within reach, so there is no groping behind furniture.
We reach for a lamp like this where a floor standing light would be too much furniture: in the corner of a snug, beside a bookcase, behind a plant to throw leaf shadows up the wall, or on a mantelpiece to wash the chimney breast. It suits sitting rooms, bedrooms and home offices, and works well in pairs at either end of a long room, giving a soft base layer of light rather than one bright source. Dry indoor rooms are its home rather than a bathroom or a covered porch. With suitable lamps and a compatible dimmer, the level can be taken right down for evenings.
Chrome this shiny shows fingerprints and dust more readily than a brushed surface, so a wipe with a soft, barely damp cloth and a dry buff afterwards keeps it sharp; cream cleaners and scouring pads should stay well away. The lamp is double insulated, and it carries a one year warranty. If chrome is not your finish, the same shape is also made in satin nickel, antique brass and black chrome, and we keep all four finishes. Lamps are not included.

Frequently Asked
What lamp does it take?
A single GU10 reflector lamp of up to 50W. A 50mm LED reflector is the sensible choice, and lamps are supplied separately.
Can it be dimmed?
Yes, provided you pair dimmable lamps with a compatible dimmer. The lamp itself has an inline switch on the flex for everyday on and off.
How big is it?
It is 90mm in diameter and 225mm tall, and weighs half a kilogram, so it slips onto a narrow shelf or into an alcove without crowding it.
How should I clean the polished chrome?
Switch off at the socket and let everything cool first, then use a soft cloth, barely damp, and dry it straight away. Avoid abrasive creams, sprays and scouring pads, which will dull the shine.
Is it suitable for a bathroom?
No. It is rated for dry indoor rooms only, so keep it away from bathrooms, shower rooms and anywhere outdoors.
Is there a warranty?
It carries a one year manufacturer's warranty.
