The Charm FL is a 1,650 mm floor lamp with a 525 mm shade on a satin iron frame — one E27 globe to 25 W, not supplied — in taupe, vintage brass or black. A wide shade, which changes what the lamp does 525 mm across on a 148 mm depth — that is a broad, shallow drum, not the narrow cone most floor lamps carry. A wide shade spreads light across a seating area rather than dropping it in a pool, so the Charm lights a sofa and the floor in front of it instead of one cushion. It is the difference between a reading lamp and a room lamp. 1,650 mm — standing height, not looming The shade sits at about eye level for someone standing and well above a seated head, which is where you want a broad shade: you see the light, not the globe. On a 280 mm base it takes very little floor. You almost certainly do not need an electrician. It is Class II — double insulated — on a 2,000 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. Three finishes that behave differently Taupe is the quiet one — a grey-brown that disappears against most walls. Vintage brass is the warm one, and on a satin finish it reads as aged rather than shiny. Black draws the frame as a line. All three are satin, so none of them throw a hard reflection. Dimming depends on the globe you fit 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” against dimmable, which is misleading — the correct answer is globe dependent. Beside a sofa this is worth doing. Where it works Beside a sofa, where the wide shade lights the whole seat. Living-room corners, as a general light rather than a reading light. Bedrooms, where 1,650 mm keeps the globe out of sight. ⚠ Indoor and dry locations only — IP20.

Questions How wide is the shade?525 mm across and only 148 mm deep — a broad, shallow drum rather than the narrow cone most floor lamps carry. It spreads light across a seating area instead of dropping it in a pool. Do I need an electrician?It is double insulated with a 2,000 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; a plain globe 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. What colours are there?Taupe, vintage brass or black, all satin. Taupe disappears against most walls, vintage brass reads as aged rather than shiny, and black draws the frame as a line. Is it good for reading?It is better as a room lamp. The wide shade spreads light across a sofa rather than concentrating it on a book — if you want to read in one seat, a narrower shade concentrates better. How much floor does it take?A 280 mm base. The shade is wide but the footprint is not.
