The Halvik TL is a 500mm table lamp with a tiered dome shade in iron withgold accents one E27 globe to 25W with aTRIAC dim switch built into the base, in beige or green.

The dimmer is in the lamp, and that is unusual. Most tablelamps here are globe dependent they dim only if you fit a dimmable globeand add a plug-in or inline dimmer. The Halvik has aTRIAC dim switch built into its own base: you turn it on the lamp,with no extra hardware and nothing to buy. You still need adimmable globe for it to work, but the control is already there. Our page was cutoff mid-sentence before it explained this.

Assume the globe is NOT included. Our datasheet saysincluded; the pages own specification table saysnot included. We publish not included because that is the saferanswer to plan around buy a dimmable E27 to 25W. If one arrives in thebox, so much the better. Ask us and we will confirm with Telbix if it matters toyour order.

A tiered dome on a tapered base and it is all iron

Both the shade and the base are iron, which is unusual: most table lamps hereput fabric, glass or stone somewhere. An all-metal lamppasses no light through the shade at all, soeverything goes down and out of the opening a defined pool rather than aglow, with the tiers catching light on their edges as it escapes. At380mm wide the pool is generous.

3.02 kilograms on a 150mm base

Solid for its size, and it needs to be: a 380mm iron shade on a150mm base would be top-heavy without the weight. It stays where you put it,which matters on a lamp whose switch you reach for.

Green or beige, both with gold

Green is the uncommon one a coloured metal lamp is rare in thiscatalogue, and on a tiered dome the colour reads asa series of curved bands rather than a mass. Beige is the quietchoice and sits against almost any wall. Both carrysubtle gold accents, in a gloss finish.

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.

Where it works

• Bedsides and desks the dim switch is on the lamp, where your hand goes.
• Sideboards and consoles, where a 380mm shade has room.
• Buy a DIMMABLE globe, or the built-in dimmer has nothing to work with.
• Indoor and dry locations only IP20.

Questions

How do I dim it?

From a switch built into the lamps own base no plug-in dimmer, no inline switch, nothing extra to buy. That is unusual here: most table lamps in this range dim only if you add a dimmer yourself. You do still need a dimmable globe for it to work.

Is a globe included?

Assume not. Our datasheet says included and the pages own specification table says not included we publish not included because it is the safer answer to plan around. Buy a dimmable E27 to 25W; if one arrives in the box, so much the better.

What sort of light does it give?

A defined pool rather than a glow. Both the shade and base are iron, so no light passes through the shade it all goes down and out of the opening, with the tiers catching light on their edges as it escapes.

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.

Green or beige?

Green is the uncommon one a coloured metal lamp is rare here, and on a tiered dome the colour reads as a series of curved bands rather than a mass. Beige is the quiet choice and sits against almost any wall. Both have gold accents.

Is it stable?

Yes 3.02kg on a 150mm base. A 380mm iron shade would be top-heavy without it, and the weight matters on a lamp whose switch you reach for.

What globe should I buy?

A dimmable E27 to 25W. A non-dimmable globe will work, but the built-in dimmer will have nothing to act on.
