This gold bedside lamp pairs a gold-finish metal structure with an frosted glass globe, and puts a soft, diffused light on your bedside table. At 40 cm tall with a 15 cm globe, it sits easily in a bedroom, a lounge or a study. Alborra offers it to anyone who wants an elegant glow without needless show.

A gold bedside lamp for soft, diffused light

At bedtime, light should soothe rather than stimulate. This gold bedside lamp meets that need with an frosted glass globe that softens the light source and spreads the glow evenly. The light is directed upwards, so it settles on the ceiling and the neighbouring walls instead of catching your eye, which helps you drop off and also suits a few pages of reading. It lights an area of 3 to 5 square metres, which is just the useful surface of a bedroom corner or a reading spot. In an adult bedroom, a gold bedside lamp of this size avoids the overhang of a large model while leaving enough room for a phone, a glass of water or a book. The gold finish of the structure adds a warm note that answers the tones of wood, linen and wool, and it reflects the light quietly when the room is dim. The switch on the cable lets you turn the light on or off without leaning over the table. Its compact format also makes this gold bedside lamp useful on a hall console or a small desk where you want an extra glow. Placed on either side of the bed, two identical gold bedside lamps make a calm, tidy symmetry, a pairing that contemporary bedrooms do well.

The specification of this gold bedside lamp

On the technical side, this gold bedside lamp is simple and dependable, and your electrician will find nothing unusual. The bulb cap is an E14 small Edison screw (SES), which takes a small bulb, and we recommend an LED for even light and modest consumption. Depending on the pack, the bulb is not always supplied, so check this when you order. The lamp takes up to 40 W, depending on the bulb, which leaves a comfortable margin to set the mood, from a dim glow to a reading light. The accepted voltage, 90 to 260 V AC, makes this gold bedside lamp compatible with ordinary domestic supplies. The dimensions are exact: 40 cm in overall height, 25 cm in width and a globe 15 cm in diameter. This gold bedside lamp plays on the contrast between the warm gold-finish metal and the milky transparency of the glass, a balance that avoids a look that is too shiny or too clinical. The metal gives the base its hold and its slim outline, while the frosted glass hides the filament and removes harsh reflections. It slips easily between two piles of books, on a chest of drawers or on a working desk. The result is a gold bedside lamp that keeps the discretion of a supplementary light and still shows the character of a designed object, as welcome in a bedroom as in a guest room.

Where to put a gold bedside lamp

To get the best from this model, think about height first. At 40 cm, the gold bedside lamp sits well on a standard bedside table, where the upward light bothers neither your eyes nor those of whoever shares the bed. In a lounge it can take its place on a console or sideboard, giving a secondary point of light beside an armchair. On a desk, this gold bedside lamp offers a supplementary glow that adds to the main lighting without too strong a contrast with the screen. For a reading corner, bring it close to the chair, within the 3 to 5 square metres that it lights. A warm white LED bulb strengthens the cocooning mood of the lamp, while a more neutral white suits work. Before positioning it, think about the length of the cable and the place of the socket: the switch on the cord needs to stay within reach of the bed. Do not hesitate to move this gold bedside lamp as your needs change, because its modest size makes it easy to carry from room to room. A gold bedside lamp of this kind even fits a guest house or a hotel room, where it gives the warm welcome you expect from a well-kept bedroom.

Elegant, compact and made for softness, this gold bedside lamp in gold-finish metal and frosted glass suits the bedroom, the lounge and the study alike. At Alborra it joins the lights that make a home calmer without weighing it down. Choose it to light your evenings with restraint.
