The Corvus TL is a 500mm two-globe table lamp in satin iron, antique brasswith dark coffee tones two E27 globes at 25W each, 50W total, notsupplied.

Two lamp holders, not one. Our record lists25W, which is the figure per globe. Two holders at 25W is50W total, and you need to buy two globes.

Why two globes on a table lamp

A 400mm shade only 88mm deep is very wide and very shallow asingle globe under it would be bright directly beneath and dim at the edges. Two holdersspread the source, so the shade lights evenly across its whole width. It is the same reasoningthat puts two globes in a tall column lamp, applied sideways.

It does not change colour. Our record carries acolour-changing flag against this lamp. It takes two ordinary E27 globes and includesnone there is nothing in the fitting that could change colour. If you want tunablelight here, that is a property of the globes you buy, not of the lamp.

You almost certainly do not need an electrician. It isClassII double insulated on an 1,800mmcable. The old page carried an electrician requirement that belongs to hard-wiredfittings.

Antique brass with dark coffee

Not a single-tone finish antique brass against dark coffee, in satin. Thedarker tone keeps the brass from reading as gold, which is what makes the lamp sit asindustrial rather than decorative. At 2.8kg it is solidwithout being a hazard on a console.

The proportions

500mm tall and 400mm wide on a 180mm base. It iswider than it is tall in the shade, so plan for it: on a narrow bedside table theshade will overhang. On a sideboard or a wide console it is exactly right.

Where it works

• Sideboards and wide consoles, where 400mm of shade has room.
• Living areas, as a lit object rather than a task light.
• Alongside dark timber or blackened metal, which the coffee tone picks up.
• Not on a narrow bedside table the shade will overhang.

Questions

How many globes does it take?

Two E27 at 25W each 50W total, not supplied. Our record lists 25W, which is the figure per globe. Buy two.

Does it change colour?

No. Our record carries a colour-changing flag against it, which is wrong it takes two ordinary E27 globes and includes none. Tunable light here would be a property of the globes you buy.

Why two globes on a table lamp?

The shade is 400mm wide and only 88mm deep. One globe under a shade that shallow would be bright directly beneath and dim at the edges; two spread the source so it lights evenly across the width.

Do I need an electrician?

It is double insulated with an 1,800mm cable, so almost certainly not. The old page carried an electrician requirement that belongs to hard-wired fittings.

Will it fit a bedside table?

Probably not the shade is 400mm wide against a 180mm base, so on a narrow table it will overhang. It is a sideboard and wide-console lamp.

What is the finish?

Antique brass against dark coffee, in satin. The darker tone keeps the brass from reading as gold, which is what makes it sit as industrial rather than decorative.

Can I dim it?

Only with dimmable globes and a plug-in or inline dimmer and both globes must be dimmable, or one will simply stay at full output.
