The Tarell TL is a 405mm table lamp in antique gold or gun metal integrated 6W giving 530lm at 3000K, with agesture-controlled switch.

You wave at it. Our page was cut off mid-word saying so. Itended at the intuitive gesture-controlled swit.

The Tarell is switched and dimmed by gesture no button to find inthe dark, no cord switch to fish for behind a bedside table. On abedside lamp that is the most useful thing about it, and it was the one fact thetruncation removed.

Because it plugs in, a wall dimmer is not in the circuit: thedimming is on the lamp, in the gesture. Nothing to buy, nothing to wire.

It plugs into a power point. Our page also said itmust be installed by a licensed electrician. It has1.8metres of flex and runs atClassIII low voltage under 54V. Removed.

530 lumens from 6 watts

88lm/W the most efficient decorative fitting measured in this programme sofar, and no source remarked on it. For comparison, the Tequo table lampgives 335lm from 12W: the Tarell producesmore light on half the power.

The reason is the design. The Tarell’s slim profile puts the light out rather thanthrough smoked glass or fabric, so almost all of it reaches the desk. That makes it agenuine task and reading lamp where most decorative table lamps in this catalogue areatmosphere.

The slim profile, and the two finishes

405mm high, 345mm across, 160mm base areach rather than a shade, which is why it puts light where you want it instead ofspreading it everywhere.

• Antique gold warm, and it sits with brass and timber. Against gold,3000K is the right colour; cooler light would turn it green, and thefixed 3000K here is a good match.
• Gun metal a dark, slightly warm grey, quieter and more technical; itdisappears against a dark desk rather than announcing itself.

1.28 kg and a note about waving at it

On a 160mm base. That is light, and on a lampdesigned to be gestured at it is worth thinking about: gesture control means yourhand passes close, and the base has to hold the lamp still while it does.

In practice it is fine on a stable surface, and worthkeeping back from the edge of a narrow bedside table. If it is going somewhere withreal traffic, ask us about a heavier lamp.

• Desks and study tables a real task light at 530lm.
• Consoles and hall tables, where the slim profile suits.

Questions

How do I switch it on?

By gesture no button to find in the dark, no cord switch to fish for behind a bedside table. Our page was cut off mid-word describing exactly this, at the intuitive gesture-controlled swit. It is the most useful thing about the lamp.

Can I dim it?

Yes, on the lamp, by gesture. Because it plugs in, a wall dimmer is not in the circuit so nothing to buy and nothing to wire.

Do I need an electrician?

No. It has 1.8 metres of flex and runs at Class III low voltage, under 54V. Plug it in. Our page said otherwise, which was wrong.

Is it bright enough to read by?

Yes 530 lumens from 6 watts, which at 88lm/W is the most efficient decorative fitting measured in this programme so far. The Tequo table lamp gives 335 lumens from 12W; the Tarell produces more light on half the power, because its slim profile puts light out rather than through smoked glass or fabric.

Antique gold or gun metal?

Antique gold is warm and sits with brass and timber and the fixed 3000K is the right colour against it, where cooler light would read green. Gun metal is a dark, slightly warm grey: quieter and more technical, and it disappears against a dark desk.

Is it stable?

1.28kg on a 160mm base light, and worth thinking about on a lamp designed to be gestured at, since your hand passes close. Fine on a stable surface; keep it back from the edge of a narrow bedside table.

Can I change the globe or the colour?

Neither the LED is integrated and included, fixed at 3000K.
