Know before you buy
The acid-etched blown glass diffuser creates a soft, diffused glow that eliminates harsh shadows. It is designed to mimic the appearance of a full moon, providing warm, even illumination that is ideal for ambient lighting.
The lamp features a full-range 0-100% dimmer switch integrated into the cord. This allows you to precisely adjust the light intensity from a subtle nightlight glow to a functional level for reading or tasks.
The lamp measures 12.99 inches in diameter and stands 10.62 inches tall. The base is compact, measuring 4.3 inches in diameter, making it suitable for smaller bedside tables or narrow consoles.
The lamp uses a standard 50W T-8 medium frosted halogen bulb, which is typically included with the fixture. Because it uses a standard base, the bulb is easily replaceable when it reaches the end of its lifespan.
The base is engineered from 30% fiberglass-reinforced injection-molded polyamide, which provides significant structural integrity and stability. The diffuser is further supported by a die-cast aluminum mount to ensure the glass remains securely positioned.
