The Elwick FL is a 1,540mm floor lamp on a marble base with an iron body anda glass shade one E27 globe to 25W, not supplied inblack with smoke glass or green.

Marble, glass and iron none of which was on record

Our listing carried no material at all. The Elwick ismarble at the base, iron through the body, glass at the shade three materialsdoing three jobs. The marble is the reason to buy it: real stone at floor level givesthe lamp 6.75kg of weight exactly where a 1.54metre lamp needs it, and itis what separates the Elwick from a metal-based lamp of the same shape.

6.75kg, which is the practical point

Most slender floor lamps in this range are a third of that. The Elwickwill not be knocked over, which matters beside a sofa, in a walkway or in a house withchildren. If you have looked at a slim floor lamp and worried about stability,this is the answer to that worry.

You almost certainly do not need an electrician. It isClassII double insulated on a 2,000mmcable. The old page carried an electrician requirement that belongs to hard-wiredfittings.

Black with smoke, or green

Black with a smoke glass shade is the quiet one tinted glass over a darkframe, so the lamp reads as a silhouette and the light stays low and warm.Green is the statement: a coloured floor lamp is rare in this catalogue, and on a1.5metre frame it becomes a piece of furniture rather than a light fitting. The oldspecification table said Base Colour: Black flatly, whichonly describes one of the two.

The glass shade shows the globe

Glass rather than fabric, so the globe is visible. That makes the globe part ofthe design: buy a decorative E27 a filament or a globe-shaped one rather than a plain frosted lamp, which will look like an oversight through tinted glass.

Dimming depends on the globe

Fit a dimmable E27 and use a plug-in or inline dimmer and it dims; a plain globe willnot. Our record carries no value at all against dimmable; the correct answer isglobe dependent.
