Description
A lamp head sized to sit in the neck of a bottle and make a light of it. The black body holds an E27 lampholder above the bottle, and a rotary switch takes care of on and off at the lamp rather than across the room. It is small and it is light, cut to suit the neck of a standard wine or spirit bottle. Round globes and squirrel cage lamps look particularly good above it, and a plain GLS shape is just as happy; anything up to 40W suits.
We keep these for the jobs a full table lamp would swamp: a windowsill, a bar top, the end of a kitchen shelf, a bedside where a soft glow is all that is wanted. They earn their keep on cafe and restaurant tables too, and they are a good answer to a bottle too handsome to put out for recycling. Pair one with a dimmable lamp and a compatible dimmer and the level can be taken right down for the evening. With the lamp left on show, keep it to dry rooms indoors, away from bathrooms and anywhere it could take a splash.
The finish is black throughout, on body and collar, which keeps the eye on the bottle and the lamp rather than on the fitting. Cleaning takes no more than a wipe over the body with a dry cloth, done with the power off and the lamp cold; keep the switch and the lampholder dry. It carries a one year warranty. We would set one on a favourite bottle for a shelf display, and keep a spare in the drawer for the next bottle worth saving. Lamps are not included.

Frequently Asked
What size is the body, and will it fit an ordinary bottle?
The body measures 60mm across and 125mm tall, sized to sit in the neck of a standard wine or spirit bottle.
Which lamps can I fit?
It takes one E27 lamp up to 40W. LED works well here, including GLS A60 and A75, globes from G80 up to G120, ST64 squirrel cage and T45 tubular shapes.
Can it be dimmed?
Yes, provided you use a dimmable lamp with a compatible dimmer. The rotary switch on the lamp itself handles on and off.
How is it switched?
By a rotary switch, so you control the light at the lamp with no need for a separate switch.
Is it suitable for a bathroom or a garden table?
No. It is rated IP20 for dry indoor rooms only, so keep it away from water and out of the weather.
How do I clean it?
Switch off at the socket, let the lamp cool, then wipe the black body with a dry cloth. Avoid sprays and damp cloths near the lampholder.
