Know before you buy
The pine wood shades act as a filter, transforming the bulb's output into a soft, warm, and diffused glow. It is designed for ambient mood lighting rather than task-oriented illumination, mimicking the gentle flicker of a bonfire.
The lamp does not include a bulb. It requires an E17 base bulb with a maximum wattage of 6 watts, so you should look for an LED bulb that fits these specifications.
The lamp is finished with a clear lacquer, which protects the wood while highlighting its natural grain. To maintain it, simply dust the shades gently with a soft, dry cloth; avoid using harsh chemicals or water, which could damage the wood.
No, this is an accent lamp intended for ambient lighting. Its low wattage and filtered design are best suited for creating a relaxing atmosphere on a nightstand, side table, or shelf.
The lamp features a 79-inch PVC cord, providing ample reach to connect to wall outlets from most side tables or consoles.
The lamp weighs approximately 1 pound and features a 4.9-inch diameter base. While it is lightweight, the base is designed to provide sufficient stability for standard indoor table surfaces.
