The Kindle FL2 is an 1,800mm floor lamp withtwo adjustable shades painted to look like timber, on an iron and aluminium body.

It plugs in. The old page said Lead and Plug:Yes and, further down, must be installed by a licensed electrician.Both cannot be true. It is ClassII, double insulated no electrician.

Timber look, without timbers problems

The shades are painted in wood tones over metal, not veneered or solid.That is a deliberate and sensible choice on a lamp shade: real timber at this thinnesswarps, splits and marks, and it discolours where the heat sits. Painted metal gives youthe warmth of wood against a cool sand-finished body with none of that and theshades stay true for the life of the lamp.

Both shades adjust

Two heads, each aimed independently. One lamp does two jobs at once:the lower shade down for reading, the upper at the wall for indirect light. Or bothinto a dark corner. A fixed floor lamp gives you one answer; this gives you a rooms worth.

Small shades on a tall body

65mm shades, 150mm tall, on an1,800mm lamp 220mm wide. That is deliberately slight the shades read as two small timber accents rather than a bulk at the top, whichis what keeps a 1.8-metre lamp from looking top-heavy.

GU10, which suits a lamp you aim

A GU10 is a reflector lamp with its own beam, soyou choose the beam angle narrow for reading, wide for a wall wash andyou can put a different one in each shade. Two lamps to 6W each, 12W total, notsupplied.

Stable at 3.8kg
