Searchlight Merton Table Lamp - Tall Black - Black Faux Silk Shade

A Tall Table Lamp with a Mirrored Black Base

The Searchlight Merton is a tall table lamp with a mirrored black glass base and a black faux silk shade, giving a touch of glamour to a bedside table or console. It stands 58cm tall and weighs 5kg, so it is a substantial piece rather than a small accent lamp. It is worth checking these measurements against your table or console before ordering.

Materials and Finish

The base is made from black mirrored glass, built as an open rectangular frame that reflects light and colour from the room around it. It is paired with a rectangular shade in black faux silk, which gives a soft, warm glow rather than a bright, direct light.

How It Works

The Merton takes one E27 GLS bulb, which is not included, and is not dimmable. It is wired to Class II, meaning it is double insulated. As a table lamp it plugs straight into a standard wall socket, so there is no need for an electrician to fit it.

Where It Works Best

Its height and mirrored base make it a strong bedside or console lamp for living rooms, bedrooms, dining rooms and hallways. It works best as a single statement lamp rather than a low fill light, so give it some space on the table it sits on.
