A Tall Uplighter with a Built In Reading Light
The Merlin Mother and Child is a floor lamp finished in matt black with glass detailing, pairing a larger uplighter shade with a smaller companion reading light for a distinctive silhouette. Standing at a maximum height of 180cm on a 25.4cm wide base, it makes a genuine statement piece as well as a practical light source.
Materials and Finish
Made from mild steel, glass and acrylic in a matt black finish. The frosted glass diffuser beneath the main shade has a subtle texture that shows up more clearly once the lamp is switched on than it does in an unlit photo.
How It Works
Fitted with a 15.41W integrated LED (not replaceable), producing 1887 lumens at a warm 3000K colour temperature. It is dimmable 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. Its height suits rooms with a bit of ceiling space to spare, where the uplighter shade can bounce light off the ceiling while the reading arm handles closer tasks.
