The Mosari TL is a 372mm table lamp in matt gold or black with anopal glass shade one G9 globe to 6W, not supplied, on1.8metres of flex.

It plugs into a power point. Our page said itmust be installed by a licensed electrician. It has1.8metres of flex and is ClassII double insulated. Fit aglobe and plug it in. Removed.

The globe and this page had it right

One G9 to 6W, not supplied. G9 is a small bi-pin capsule,about the size of a thumbnail, which pushes in rather than screwing.

Worth a note: three of the four Mosari pages named the baseG6, which does not exist. This one said G9, correctly.

• Buy an LED, not a halogen. Halogen G9s get very hot inside an enclosed glassshade and on a table lamp that is something you may actually touch.
• Warm 2700K against matt gold, cool white readsgreen.
• Rated for enclosed fittings.
• A 6W G9 LED gives roughly 500600 lumens, which is asoft bedside or sideboard light, not a reading lamp. If you want to read by it,ask us the Tarell gives 530lm with a gesture switch and the Vybor takesa full-size E27.

Opal glass, at arm’s reach

The shade diffuses completely, so the capsule is invisible andthere is no glare which on a lamp that sits ateye level on a bedside table is exactly what you want. It reads as asmall glowing form rather than a light source, and that is the character of the wholerange.

Our range copy calls it clear opal glass, which is contradictory. It isopal.

1.07 kg on a 115mm base, at 372mm tall.That is a light lamp on a narrow base the same proportion we flag on theJacona and the Inwood so it is easy to knock and easy to pull over by the flex.Keep it back from the edge of a narrow bedside table. If it is going somewhere withreal traffic, ask us about a heavier lamp; the Vybor is 6.1kg in travertine.

One thing in its favour: a G9 capsule weighs almost nothing, so unlike the E27lamps in this catalogue there is no risk of a heavy glass globe raising the centre ofgravity.

It dims, with the right globe. Our record saysNo; the datasheet and our page both sayglobe dependent, and they are right. On a plug-in lamp that means aninline or plug-in dimmer and beside a bed, on a lamp this size,dimming is most of what makes it useful. Ask us and we will match thepair.

Part of a four-piece range

Mosari is made as this table lamp, a wall light, and two close-to-ceiling fittings,all in the same minimal metalwork and opal glass the sentence saying so wascut off mid-word on every Mosari page. A bedroom can carry thewall lights either side of the bed and this on the chest of drawers, and the rest ofthe floor the CTCs.

ClassII double insulated,IP20 indoor and dry locations only, iniron and opal glass. 372mm high, 120mm wide, base115mm.

Where it works

• Bedsides and chests of drawers no glare at eye level.
• Sideboards, consoles and shelves, as a soft point of light.
• With the Mosari wall lights and CTCs, as one scheme.
• Not a reading lamp roughly 500600lm from one G9.
• 1.07kg on a 115mm base keep it back from the edge.

Questions

Do I need an electrician?

No. It has 1.8 metres of flex and is double insulated fit a globe and plug it in. Our page said otherwise, which was wrong.

What globe does it take?

One G9 capsule to 6W, not supplied and this page named the base correctly, where three of the four Mosari pages said the non-existent G6. Buy an LED rather than a halogen (halogen G9s get very hot inside an enclosed shade, and on a table lamp that is something you may touch), in warm 2700K, rated for enclosed fittings.

Is it bright enough to read by?

No a 6W G9 LED gives roughly 500600 lumens through an opal shade, which is a soft bedside or sideboard light. If you want to read by it, ask us: the Tarell gives 530lm with a gesture switch, and the Vybor takes a full-size E27.

Is it stable?

1.07kg on a 115mm base at 372mm tall is a light lamp on a narrow base easy to knock and easy to pull over by the flex. Keep it back from the edge of a narrow table. One thing in its favour: a G9 capsule weighs almost nothing, so unlike the E27 lamps here there is no risk of a heavy globe raising the centre of gravity.

Can I dim it?

With the right globe and an inline or plug-in dimmer. Our record says No; the datasheet and our page both say globe dependent, and they are right. Beside a bed, on a lamp this size, dimming is most of what makes it useful.

Will I see the globe?

No the opal shade diffuses completely, so the capsule is invisible and there is no glare. On a lamp at eye level on a bedside table that is exactly what you want.

Does it match anything else?

Yes Mosari is this table lamp, a wall light and two close-to-ceiling fittings, all in the same minimal metalwork and opal glass. A bedroom can carry the wall lights either side of the bed and this on the chest of drawers.
