The Loren is a touch-controlled table lamp with a shaped metal base and apleated ivory fabric shade, in antique gold or nickel 412mm tall, supplied with a 5W E14 globe at 3000Kand a 1.8m cord and plug.

What touch means here read this before youbuy it as a dimmer. The lamp is named for a touch control, and our datasheetrecords it as not dimmable. Taken together, the honest reading is thattouching the base switches it on and off, rather than cycling it through low, mediumand high the way a three-stage touch lamp does.

That is the cautious reading and we would rather give you it than the flatteringone. If you are buying this specifically to dim beside a bed, ask us first and we willconfirm the behaviour with Telbix before you order.

Why a touch lamp beside a bed is worth having anyway

Even as an on-off control, the touch base solves the thing that makes bedside lamps annoying:

• No fumbling for a switch in the dark you touch the base, anywhere.
• No cord switch to hunt for behind the table.
• And the flip side: anything that touches the metal base can switch it asleeve, a book sliding across the table, a cat. Worth knowing.

The globe is included, and it is a small one

One E14 (small screw) globe at 5W, 3000K warm white, supplied with thelamp which is genuinely unusual here and means it works out of the box.

• 5W is a low-output globe. This is anatmosphere and bedside lamp, not a reading light. If you read in bed, add a directedlamp or a wall light over the shoulder.
• No lumen figure is recorded in any source, so we will not quote one. What we cansay is that 5W is at the low end of what E14 globes are made in.
• If you replace it, keep to E14 and warm 27003000K the ivorypleated shade is a warm material and a cool globe will look wrong through it.
• A touch circuit is fussy about globes. If yours has one, not every LED will workcorrectly with it ask us rather than guessing.

A pleated shade, and what it does

Pleating is having a moment, and it is not only decoration: the foldsbreak the light into fine vertical bands, so the shade itself has depth and texturewhen lit rather than reading as a flat glowing cylinder. In ivory it warms the lightslightly and casts a soft, generous glow rather than a directed one.

The shade diameter is not recorded anywhere, and on atable lamp that is the figure that decides whether it crowds a bedside table. We have its412mm height and its 1kg weight and nothing across.Ask us.

Antique gold or nickel

• Antique gold warmer and softer, and it agrees with the ivory shade andwith brass hardware elsewhere in a room.
• Nickel cooler and quieter, and the safer choice in a room with chrome orbrushed-steel fittings.

Both are classic shapes rather than contemporary ones this is a lamp for aroom with some traditional detail, not a minimal one.

It plugs in. Our old page ended by saying a licensedelectrician was required; it has a 1,800mm cord and a plug.1kg, IP20 indoor and dry only,ClassII double insulated, no earth, iniron and fabric.

Where it works

• Bedside tables the touch base is the reason to buy it.
• Console tables, hall tables and dressers, as a warm accent.
• Traditional and transitional interiors, alongside brass or chrome hardware.
• Not a reading lamp the supplied globe is 5W.
• Ask us about the touch behaviour if you want it to dim, and about the shade width.

Questions

Does the touch control dim it?

Probably not. The lamp is named for a touch control and our datasheet records it as not dimmable, so the honest reading is that touching the base switches it on and off rather than cycling through low, medium and high. That is the cautious reading and we would rather give you it than the flattering one if you are buying it specifically to dim beside a bed, ask us and we will confirm with Telbix before you order.

Do I need an electrician?

No. It has a 1,800mm cord and a plug. Our old page said a licensed electrician was required, which was wrong for this product.

Does it come with a globe?

Yes a 5W E14 small-screw globe at 3000K warm white is supplied, so it works out of the box. That is unusual and worth knowing.

Is it bright enough to read by?

No. 5W is at the low end of what E14 globes are made in, and no lumen figure is recorded in any source so we will not quote one. This is an atmosphere and bedside lamp if you read in bed, add a directed lamp or a wall light over the shoulder.

Can I put a different globe in it?

Yes, keeping to E14 and warm 27003000K, because the ivory pleated shade is a warm material and a cool globe looks wrong through it. Note that touch circuits can be fussy about which LEDs they work with ask us rather than guessing.

How wide is the shade?

Not recorded anywhere, and on a table lamp that is the figure that decides whether it crowds a bedside table. We have its 412mm height and its 1kg weight and nothing across. Ask us.

Antique gold or nickel?

Antique gold is warmer and softer and agrees with the ivory shade and with brass hardware; nickel is cooler and quieter and is the safer choice in a room with chrome or brushed steel. Both are classic shapes rather than contemporary ones.
