A Knurled Gold Base for Building Your Own Table Lamp
This Searchlight Latimer table lamp base is the knurled satin gold column from the Latimer range, sold as a base only so you can pair it with a shade of your choice.
Materials and Finish
Made from mild steel with a knurled satin gold finish.
How It Works
It takes a single E27 bulb (not supplied) and has a clear inline on/off switch on the cable, so it's a plug in lamp rather than a hardwired fitting. It's not dimmable, and as a Class II double insulated design it doesn't need an earth connection. As with any electrical product, it's worth having a qualified electrician check the wiring if you ever have concerns.
Where It Works Best
Suits living rooms, bedrooms, dining rooms and hallways as a bedside or accent lamp base.

Questions People Ask
Does this come with a lamp shade?
No, this is the base only. You can pair it with any drum or empire shade sized to fit a table lamp of this scale.
What bulb do I need?
It takes a single E27 GLS bulb, which isn't included, so you'll need to buy one separately.
Do I need an electrician to install it?
No, it's a plug in lamp with an inline on/off switch on the cable, so it's ready to use once you've fitted a bulb and a shade. As with any electrical item, have it checked by a qualified electrician if you ever have concerns about the wiring or plug.
Can I use this lamp base in a bathroom or outdoors?
No, it's rated IP20 for dry indoor use only, so it isn't suitable for bathrooms, other damp rooms, or outdoor spaces.
Is the lamp dimmable?
No, this base isn't dimmable. It works on a simple on and off basis using the inline switch on the cable.
