A domed round foot steps up through a set of narrow turned rings into a slim column, which tapers very slightly as it rises and finishes in a second set of rings below the brass lampholder cup. The mango wood is left natural and pale, and the turning is crisp enough that the rings catch light as distinct lines rather than soft swellings. It stands 130cm on a foot 25.5cm across.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 130cm this is the shortest of these floor lamp bases, which puts the lampholder near the top of a seated person rather than above it. That suits it to a spot beside a low chair or next to a sofa where the shade sits near eye level, and it is also why the 40W limit is lower than on the taller bases: the bulb ends up closer to a face. The foot is narrow at 25.5cm, so it slides against a skirting board or between a chair and a wall. The flex runs 3.5m and it is rated IP20, for dry indoor rooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe mango tree is grown for its fruit and felled only once it stops bearing, so the timber is a by-product rather than the reason for the planting. Each column is turned individually, so the rings and the taper differ slightly between bases. The Usha range also holds a large table lamp base turned the same way. No shade and no bulb are included.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e130cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25.5cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMango Wood\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNatural\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRecommended bulb\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eE27\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMax watt\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCord length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.5m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP Rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP20\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.16kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes a shade come with it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo, this is the base alone.
