HS8723-BL is a small table lamp with a ceramic base that has a rounded shoulder and vertical fluting. The base has a matt black finish, with a gold ring running around its foot. The collar under the shade is gold as well; the shade itself is a cylinder of black fabric with a visible weave.
How big it is and where it fits
The lamp is 26.5 cm tall and the shade is 13 cm in diameter. Compare that with the top of the bedside table, shelf or chest of drawers you have in mind — the lamp takes up little space and does not hide what stands behind it. At this height it lights its immediate surroundings rather than the whole room, so it is not a replacement for the main light.
The manufacturer intends this model for the bedroom and the living room.
Which bulb it takes and how it is switched on
The lamp has one E14 lampholder for a bulb of up to 40 W. The bulb is not included and has to be bought separately — any small-screw E14 bulb fits, including an LED, which draws only a few watts for similar brightness. You choose the colour of the light yourself: 2700–3000 K is warm, slightly yellowish light, the usual choice for a bedroom.
The lamp runs on 230 V mains. The cable ends in a plug and has an in-line switch, so you can turn the lamp on without reaching for the wall switch. The shade is held in place by a ring screwed onto the lampholder.
Materials and style
The base is ceramic and the shade is fabric. Fluted ceramic, gold details and a fabric shade in the same colour as the base make up a combination the manufacturer places in the classic style. The black of the base and shade stands out clearly against a light wall and pale wooden furniture.
