Know before you buy
The lamp uses an E26 base bulb with a maximum wattage of 40W. While it is compatible with fluorescent technology, you can also use LED bulbs with the same base for better energy efficiency.
The shade has a diameter of 9.1 inches, and the lamp stands 19.7 inches tall. It is sized well for standard bedside tables, desks, or side tables without overwhelming the space.
The two-sphere design is engineered to cast a soft, ambient glow. It is ideal for creating a warm atmosphere in living areas or bedrooms rather than providing focused, high-intensity task lighting.
Yes, the lamp comes with a 78.7-inch clear PVC cord. This generous length allows you to easily reach outlets even if your furniture is not positioned directly against a wall.
You can keep the lamp looking its best by wiping it down with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the lacquered steel, brass, copper, or stainless steel finishes.
