The Lasian TL is a 480mm table lamp with afluted resin shade on an iron base in awalnut-toned finish one E27 globe to 25W, notsupplied, on 1.8metres of flex.

Two things to know before ordering.

• It plugs in. The page said itmust be installed by a licensed electrician. It has1.8metres of flex and is ClassII double insulated.
• Walnut is a finish, not a material. The lamp isiron and resin. The walnut is apainted wood-toned finish on the metal there isno timber in it. It looks like walnut; it is not.

Fluted resin and what it does

The shade is moulded resin with vertical fluting.Resin is translucent, so light passes through the shade as well asout of it, and the fluting breaks that transmitted light intosoft vertical bands.

Beside a bed or on a console that gives you something a fabric shade cannot: the shadeglows with visible structure and reads as an object in its own right when lit, whilestill hiding the globe completely and giving no glare at any angle.

480mm tall, on a 180mm base

300mm wide, 480mm high, with a 120mm shadeheight on a 180mm base, at 2.68kg.

That weight matters more than it sounds: at 2.68kg the Lasian isthree times heavier than most table lamps in this catalogue, so itstays put when the flex is pulled. And at 480mm the shade sitsabove a seated eye line beside a bed or a chair light goesdown onto the page, not into your face.

The globe is hidden, so the choice is simple. OneE27 to 25W, not supplied brightness and warmth only, no decorative filament needed. Awarm 2700K suits both the walnut tone and the antique gold.

Dimming depends on the globe our record saysNo, the datasheet says globe dependent, and the datasheet is right. Ona plug-in lamp that needs an inline or plug-in dimmer. Beside a bed, and with atranslucent fluted shade, it is well worth doing.Ask us and we will match the pair.

Part of a three-form range

Lasian comes as table lamps, floor lamps and pendants, all with the samefluted resin. Note that the pendants are white with antique goldwhere this table lamp is walnut-toned so they are the sameform language rather than an exact colour match. If you want them to match closely,ask us which finishes pair before ordering.

Where it works

• Bedsides and consoles the shade clears a seated eye line.
• Side tables beside a chair.
• Rooms with timber tones, where the walnut finish sits naturally.
• The walnut is a painted finish there is no timber in it.
• Dimming needs an inline or plug-in dimmer.

Questions

Is the base real walnut?

No. The lamp is iron and resin, and Walnut is the name of a painted wood-toned finish on the metal there is no timber in it. It looks like walnut; it is not.

Do I need an electrician?

No. It has 1.8 metres of flex and is double insulated fit a globe and plug it in. Our page said otherwise, which was wrong.

What does the fluted resin shade do?

Resin is translucent, so light passes through the shade as well as out of it, and the fluting breaks that into soft vertical bands. The shade glows with visible structure and reads as an object in its own right when lit, while still hiding the globe completely with no glare at any angle.

Is it stable?

Yes 2.68kg is about three times most table lamps in this catalogue, so it stays put when the flex is pulled.

Is it good for reading?

Yes. At 480mm the shade sits above a seated eye line beside a bed or a chair, so light goes down onto the page rather than into your face.

Can I dim it?

With a dimmable E27 and an inline or plug-in dimmer. Our record says No; the datasheet says globe dependent, and that is right. Beside a bed, and with a translucent fluted shade, it is well worth doing.

Does it match the Lasian pendants?

In form, yes the same fluted resin. But the pendants are white with antique gold and this table lamp is walnut-toned, so they are the same language rather than an exact colour match. Ask us which finishes pair before ordering.
