Description The Mars Large is a 220mm diameter table lamp pairing a spherical shade of acid-etched white blown glass with a conical polished chrome base. A single E27 bulb fitting inside the glass sphere (bulb sold separately) casts light through the acid-etched surface, diffusing it evenly without glare or hard shadows. Designed for side tables, consoles and bedroom nightstands where soft ambient light is needed, the Mars Large sits at a height suitable for reading without directing light into the eyes. The 220mm sphere provides enough presence to hold a generous tabletop or console surface without overwhelming smaller side tables. The chrome base weighs the lamp and gives a reflective accent that pairs with contemporary, mid-century and minimalist interiors. The acid-etched finish on the blown glass creates a translucent surface that softens the bulb filament or LED element when lit, turning the entire sphere into a diffuser rather than showing a point source. The chrome base is polished to a mirror finish, contrasting the matte white tone of the glass. The lamp carries an IP20 rating, suitable for dry indoor locations, and is backed by Ideal Lux's 5-year warranty.

The Mars Large takes a standard E27 (Edison screw) bulb. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with a warm-white LED globe bulb at 6-10W and 2700K-3000K for soft ambient light. Is it dimmable? The lamp itself does not include dimming circuitry. Dimmer compatibility depends on the specific bulb you fit and whether your wall dimmer supports that bulb type. LED bulbs marked as dimmable can work with compatible dimmers. How is the glass cleaned? The acid-etched glass can be wiped with a soft microfibre cloth. For fingerprints or marks, a barely-damp cloth with distilled water works well. Avoid spraying household cleaners directly onto the glass as residue can settle into the etched surface. What size table does it suit? The 220mm sphere suits side tables, consoles and nightstands from 400mm width upwards. On smaller tables the lamp will dominate the surface; on larger consoles (800mm+) it provides accent lighting without filling the tabletop.
