A Statement Mother and Child Floor Lamp in Satin Brass
The Merlin Mother and Child is a floor lamp finished in satin brass, pairing a larger main shade with a smaller companion shade for a distinctive silhouette that works as a striking floor standing light. It's a tall piece, standing 180cm high (193cm to the top of the tallest point) with a 51.5cm projection from the main stem to the companion shade, so it's worth checking you have the height and floor space to suit before ordering.
Materials and Finish
Made from mild steel and acrylic in a satin brass finish, with the main ring and the smaller companion ring shaped to give the mother and child look.
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. Its height makes it well suited to reading corners and armchairs, where the smaller companion shade can be angled for a focused task light while the main ring fills the room.

Questions People Ask
How tall is the Merlin Mother and Child floor lamp?
It stands 180cm high, reaching 193cm at its tallest point where the companion shade sits, with a 51.5cm projection out from the main stem. It is worth measuring your space before ordering, as this is a tall piece.
Can I dim the two shades separately?
Yes. The lamp has a rotary double dimmer that lets you adjust the main ring and the smaller companion shade independently, alongside an inline rotary dimmer for the lamp overall.
Can I replace the bulb if it stops working?
The LED is integrated into the fitting and is not user replaceable. The lamp comes with a 5 year warranty, and Searchlight Electric will resolve any performance issues within that period.
Does this lamp need to be earthed?
No. It is a Class III fixture that runs on safety extra low voltage, so no earthing is required. As with any electrical fitting, it should still be installed by a qualified electrician.
Is this floor lamp suitable for a bathroom?
No. It is rated IP20, which means it is designed for indoor use only in dry rooms such as a living room, bedroom, dining room or hallway, not in a bathroom or anywhere it could be exposed to moisture.
