A Tall Mother and Child Floor Lamp With Independently Dimmable Shades
The Merlin Mother and Child is a floor lamp finished in matt black, pairing a larger ring shade with a smaller companion shade for a distinctive silhouette that works as a striking floor standing light. It's also a genuinely large fixture, with a height of 180cm that extends up to a maximum of 193cm, and a projection of 51.5cm, so it makes a real style statement in a room with some open floor space around it.
Materials and Finish
Made from mild steel and acrylic in a matt black finish.
How It Works
Fitted with a 25.5W integrated LED (not replaceable), producing 3278 lumens at a warm 3000K colour temperature. It is dimmable via an inline rotary dimmer and includes a rotary double dimmer for adjusting each shade independently. As a Class III fixture it runs on safety extra low voltage, so no earthing is needed.
Where It Works Best
A floor lamp for the living room, bedroom, dining room or hallway, giving a bright, adjustable light source that also works as a statement piece. Given its height, it works best with a little open floor space around it rather than tucked into a tight corner.
