FAQ
Will the stone on my lamp look like the one in the photo?
The shape and the metalwork will match, but the stone will be a little different. The shade is carved from genuine white alabaster, so the cloudy white, the warm cream tones, and any faint veining are unique to each piece. The lamp in the photo shows a soft, fairly even stone with a slightly milkier area near the bottom. Yours might look more uniform or show more markings. That variation is what separates natural stone from a painted shade. Orders take 5 to 10 days on average to prepare before they ship.
What bulb does it take, and can I buy one locally?
It takes an LED or Edison bulb with an E14 base, which is a small screw cap. E14 is very common in Europe and the UK and is sold online and in most hardware stores elsewhere. In North America, the usual small base is E12, and it's a different size, so make sure the bulb you buy says E14. A warm white LED around 2700K gives the best glow through the stone. Choose a small bulb that sits comfortably inside the shade, and check the maximum wattage on the fixture's label before you buy.
How bright is it?
It gives a soft, warm glow that spreads through the stone. How bright it ends up depends mainly on the bulb you choose, since the bulb isn't built in. A standard warm white LED gives a gentle, atmospheric light rather than a strong beam. The lamp suits ambient and accent lighting beside a bed, in a hallway, or next to a mirror. For reading or detailed tasks, it's best to have a separate light, because stone softens the output. A slightly brighter LED, within the wattage limit, adds a bit more presence if you need it.
Which size should I choose?
There are two sizes, and both are 47cm (18.5") tall. The slimmer one is 10cm (3.9") in diameter, and the wider one is 24.5cm (9.6"). The slim version suits narrow walls, bedsides, and pairs on either side of a mirror. The wider version has more presence and works in larger spaces, such as a living room wall or a long hallway. A common starting point is hanging it so the center of the stone sits around 150cm from the floor. Tape a paper shape at the same size to the wall to preview it before drilling.
Can I dim it, and do I need an electrician to install it?
It has a push button switch and isn't dimmable, so it can't be used with a dimmer. The lamp is wall mounted and runs on AC 110 to 240V, which suits most homes. If you're connecting it to wiring in the wall, a licensed electrician is the safe choice. Turn the power off at the breaker before anyone starts work. The shade is solid stone and the lamp hangs out from the wall, so fix the plate firmly with proper anchors or into a stud. Installation downloads are on the product page.
Can it go near moisture, and how do I clean it?
It's made for indoor use and isn't rated for wet areas, so keep it away from direct splashes and heavy steam. Alabaster is a natural stone that can take in moisture, and a damp bathroom isn't a good place for it. To clean it, switch off the light and let the bulb cool. A soft, dry cloth works for the stone and the metal parts. Alabaster is soft, so avoid abrasive pads, glass cleaner, and acidic products. For a mark, dab it with a barely damp cloth and dry the spot straight away.
