Description
The Solana is a 3-light table lamp built around a vertical black metal stem with three smoked Pyrex glass globes positioned at staggered heights along the column. Each globe houses a G9 halogen or LED bulb (sold separately), with the smoked glass softening the light output and adding a grey-toned diffusion layer that works well in both ambient and accent lighting roles.
Designed for side tables, console tables, bedside use and lounge corners where multiple light sources are needed without occupying floor space, the Solana provides three independent points of light within a compact 240mm diameter footprint. The 1800mm cable allows placement away from wall sockets, and the lamp operates on standard UK mains via a plug (no hardwiring required). The IP20 rating limits use to dry indoor environments only.
The matt black finish on the metal frame and circular base absorbs light rather than reflecting it, giving the lamp a low-profile presence when switched off and allowing the smoked glass globes to dominate visually when lit. The smoked Pyrex creates a cooler, more subdued light effect than clear or amber glass alternatives, making it suitable for modern, industrial and minimalist interiors where warmer tones might clash. The lamp stands approximately 480mm tall when the globes are fitted, with each globe measuring approximately 120mm in diameter.
Ideal Lux manufactures the Solana in Italy and backs it with a 5-year warranty covering manufacturing defects in the metalwork and glass components. The three-globe configuration provides enough light for reading or task use when paired with higher-lumen G9 bulbs, or can be used with lower-wattage bulbs for ambient background lighting in living rooms and bedrooms.

Frequently Asked
What bulbs does it take and are they included?
The Solana takes three G9 bulbs (halogen or LED). Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with G9 LED bulbs between 2-4W and 2700K-3000K for ambient use, or higher wattages (5-7W) for reading.
Is it dimmable?
No. The lamp is not rated for dimmer compatibility. Use with standard on/off mains power only.
What is the smoked glass effect?
The smoked Pyrex glass is grey-tinted and semi-opaque. When the lamp is lit, the glass diffuses the light and adds a cooler, more subdued glow compared to clear or amber glass alternatives. The glass also hides the bulb filament or LED array inside each globe.
Can it be used in bathrooms?
No. The IP20 rating means the lamp is suitable for dry indoor environments only and must not be used in bathrooms, kitchens near sinks, or any location where it may be exposed to moisture.
