Trace 4 Light Crystal Floor Lamp - Chrome With Smoked Shade

The Trace is a 1490mm floor lamp built around a polished chrome trumpet-style base supporting a 480mm smoked chrome drum shade. Four E14 bulb fittings (bulbs sold separately) sit inside the shade behind strands of precision-cut Asfour crystal that hang from the internal chandelier frame. The smoked chrome shade acts as a dual-finish diffuser — opaque and mirror-reflective when the lamp is off, translucent and smoky when lit, revealing the crystal strands and creating layered light dispersion.

Designed for living rooms, lounges and wide hallways with floor space that can accommodate the 480mm shade diameter, the Trace provides ambient rather than task lighting. The four E14 candle bulbs combine to cast light upward through the crystal and outward through the smoked shade, scattering refracted light across walls and ceilings. The lamp is dimmable when paired with compatible E14 dimmable bulbs, allowing the output to be lowered for evening ambient light or raised for functional room lighting. The 6kg weight gives the base stability without requiring additional ballast.

The polished chrome finish on both the base and shade exterior provides a high-gloss reflective surface that pairs with contemporary, art deco and modern glam interiors. The Asfour crystal is Egyptian-manufactured lead-free crystal cut into multi-faceted droplets that catch and split light from the bulbs when the lamp is on. The smoked grey tint of the shade reduces glare while maintaining visibility of the crystal detail, creating a softer visual effect than a clear glass or open-frame equivalent would deliver. The shade measures 480mm diameter by approximately 280mm height, with the total lamp height of 1490mm requiring ceiling clearance of at least 1.5m above the lamp position.

What bulbs does the Trace take?

The lamp takes four E14 candle bulbs up to 40W each. Bulbs are sold separately. For best results with the smoked shade and crystal detail, use warm-white LED bulbs between 4-6W and 2700K-3000K colour temperature. The specification notes the lamp is not compatible with older CFL bulbs — use LED or halogen E14 bulbs only.

Is the Trace dimmable?

Yes, when paired with dimmable E14 bulbs. The lamp itself does not include dimming circuitry, so dimmer compatibility depends on the bulbs chosen and the dimmer switch used on the circuit feeding the lamp.

How does the smoked shade work when lit?

The smoked chrome shade is opaque and mirror-reflective when the lamp is off. When the bulbs are switched on, light transmits through the smoked finish, turning it translucent and revealing the Asfour crystal strands inside. This creates a layered diffusion effect with light refracted through the crystal and softened by the grey tint of the shade.

What floor space does the lamp need?

The shade measures 480mm in diameter, so the lamp occupies a footprint of approximately 500mm square when positioned. The base is weighted at 6kg to provide stability, but the shade overhang means the lamp should not be placed where the upper portion could be knocked or caught by passing traffic.
