The Kindle TL is a 500mm table lamp with anadjustable shade painted to look like timber, on a 180mm iron base.

It plugs in. The old page said Lead and Plug:Yes and, further down, must be installed by a licensed electrician.It is ClassII, double insulated no electrician, no installation.

The shade adjusts, which a table lamp rarely does

Most table lamps light whatever the shade happens to face. The Kindlesshade aims down onto a book, at the wall forindirect light, or up to lift a dark corner. On a bedside or a desk that turns one lampinto three, and it is the main reason to choose it over a fixed shade.

Timber look, without timbers problems

The shade is painted in wood tones over metal, not veneered. On a shade that getswarm and gets handled, that matters: real timber at this thinnesswarps, splits and discolours, while painted metal keeps thewarmth of wood against a cool sand-finished base for the life of the lamp.

Small shade, wide base

A 65mm shade on a 180mm base, at1.45kg. Deliberately bottom-heavy which a lamp with a head you push andpull needs, and which keeps it from tipping on a narrow bedside table.

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 and you canchange it later. Up to 6W, not supplied.

500mm a proper bedside height

Tall enough to clear a stack of books and get light onto the page, short enough not to shine in youreyes when you are lying down.

Questions

Do I need an electrician?

No it plugs in. The old page said “Lead and Plug: Yes” and, further down, that an electrician was required.

Does the shade move?

Yes down onto a book, at the wall for indirect light, or up to lift a dark corner. That turns one lamp into three and is the main reason to choose it over a fixed shade.

Is the timber real?

No painted wood tones over metal. Real timber at this thinness warps, splits and discolours where the heat sits; paint keeps the warmth of wood for the life of the lamp.

Will it tip if I move the shade?

Unlikely a 65mm shade on a 180mm base at 1.45kg. Deliberately bottom-heavy.

What lamp does it take?

One GU10 up to 6W, not supplied. A GU10 is a reflector lamp, so you choose the beam angle narrow for reading, wide for a wall wash.

Is 500mm the right bedside height?

Tall enough to clear a stack of books and get light onto the page, short enough not to shine in your eyes lying down.

Are there matching fittings?

Yes a Kindle floor lamp and pendant, with the same timber-look adjustable shades.
