The Celsus TLS is a 395 mm table lamp with a cast stone base and a natural fabric shade in beige — one E27 globe to 25 W, not supplied. Cast stone, which is why you would choose it This is the point of the lamp, and our record had lost it — the listing said “Fabric” and nothing else. The base is cast stone: a heavy, faintly granular material that reads as quarried rather than moulded. Beside a ceramic lamp it looks matte and mineral; beside a metal one it looks warm. At 3.3 kg it also sits where you put it, which a lamp on a bedside table wants to do. The small one of a pair Celsus comes in two sizes and this is the smaller — 395 mm to the top of the shade, on a 130 mm base with a 250 mm shade. That is a bedside and shelf proportion: tall enough to throw light onto a book, short enough that the shade sits below eye level when you are sitting up in bed. You almost certainly do not need an electrician. It is Class II — double insulated — on an 1,800 mm cable. The old page carried an electrician requirement that belongs to hard-wired fittings. Ask us to confirm the plug arrangement if it matters to you. Dimming depends on the globe you fit The lamp holder does nothing to the light level — fit a dimmable globe and use a plug-in or inline dimmer and it dims; fit a plain globe and it will not. Our record says “No” against dimmable, which is misleading: the correct answer is globe dependent. The globe is not included One E27 to 25 W, your choice. Beside a bed that is an argument for a warm 2700 K globe rather than a bright one — through a fabric shade, warm light is what makes the shade glow instead of simply lighting up. Where it works Bedsides — the shade sits below eye level when you are sitting up. Shelves and consoles, where the stone weight matters. Beside a ceramic or timber piece, where the mineral finish reads warm. ⚠ Indoor and dry locations only — IP20.

Our record listed “Fabric” alone and had lost the stone — which is the reason to choose this lamp. It is a matte, faintly granular material that reads as quarried rather than moulded. Do I need an electrician?It is double insulated with an 1,800 mm cable, so almost certainly not. The old page carried an electrician requirement that belongs to hard-wired fittings — ask us to confirm the plug arrangement if it matters. Can I dim it?It depends on the globe. Fit a dimmable E27 and use a plug-in or inline dimmer and it dims; fit a plain globe and it will not. Our record says “No”, which is misleading — the correct answer is globe dependent. Is a globe included?No. One E27 to 25 W, your choice. Beside a bed, a warm 2700 K globe makes the fabric shade glow rather than simply light up. How tall is it?395 mm to the top of the shade, on a 130 mm base. That is a bedside and shelf proportion — the shade sits below eye level when you are sitting up in bed. Is there a larger one?Yes — Celsus comes in two sizes and this is the smaller. Ask us if you want the pair, or the larger one for a console. Is it heavy enough to stay put?Yes — 3.3 kg on a 130 mm base. That is the practical benefit of a stone base on a bedside table.
