The Mapel TL is a 420mm LED table lamp with a solid black marble base andlayered antique-brass shades 6W giving 195lm at 3000K,with touch dimming.

It dims by touch, from the lamp itself. No wall dimmer, noremote, no inline switch to find in the dark touch it and adjust. On abedside or a desk lamp that is the most useful dimming method there is, because the control isexactly where your hand already goes.

Solid marble, and it is the base of the lamp

Black marble, not a marble-look finish real stone, which isheavy, cold to the touch and veined differently on every piece. At1.6kg on a base only 90mm wide and 60mm high, theweight is concentrated right at the bottom, which is what lets a 420mm lampstand on such a small footprint without being unstable.

Layered shades the reason it looks the way it does

Rather than one shade, the Mapel uses overlapping layers in anantique-brass finish. Light escapes between the layers rather thanthrough a single diffuser, so it emerges asbands and edges instead of an even glow. That is why the output is modest and whythe lamp reads as atmospheric rather than functional.

195 lumens is a small output.6W at 33lm/W the layered shades absorb most of it, which is thetrade for the look. This is a mood lamp. It will glow beautifully on a sideboard ora bedside and it will not light a book. If you want to read beside it, plan a secondlight.

It is ClassIII low voltage so it needs adriver, and no source mentions one. The old page also said an electrician was required,which is wrong for a corded lamp but do not assume it simply plugs in untilwe have checked. Ask us and we will confirm what ships in the box.

Antique brass on black

A gloss finish, warm metal against cold stone. The contrast is the design:the marble anchors and the brass catches light, and at 420mm tall by257mm wide the proportions keep it compact enough for abedside table or a narrow shelf.

Where it works

• Bedsides touch dimming where your hand already goes.
• Sideboards, consoles and narrow shelves.
• As atmosphere alongside a proper reading light.
• Not a reading lamp 195lm through layered shades.
• Confirm the driver arrangement with us before ordering.

Questions

How do I dim it?

By touching the lamp no wall dimmer, no remote, no inline switch to find in the dark. On a bedside or desk lamp that is the most useful dimming method there is, because the control is where your hand already goes.

Is the marble real?

Yes solid black marble, not a marble-look finish. Heavy, cold to the touch and veined differently on every piece. At 1.6kg the weight is concentrated right at the bottom, which is what lets a 420mm lamp stand on a 90mm base.

Is it bright enough to read by?

No. 195lm through layered shades is a mood lamp it will glow beautifully on a sideboard or a bedside and it will not light a book. Plan a second light if you want to read.

Why is the output so low for 6 watts?

The layered shades. Light escapes between the layers rather than through a single diffuser, so it emerges as bands and edges instead of an even glow and most of it is absorbed. That is the trade for the look.

Does it need a driver?

It is Class III, low voltage under 54V, so yes and no source mentions one. Ask us to confirm what ships in the box.

Do I need an electrician?

The old page said so, which is wrong for a corded lamp. But do not assume it simply plugs in until we have confirmed the driver arrangement ask us.

How long is the cable?

1,800mm. Our datasheet field for it reads Touch Dimming +180, with two values collapsed into one cell the cable is 1,800mm and the touch dimmer is a feature, not a length.
