This is a simple but well made retro designed bedside lamp with some very modern tech hidden inside.
In the box is the lampstand, bulb, shade and a very basic but easy to read user guide. Build quality seems excellent, the stand and base are made from metal and the shade from a robust fabric. It has a standard UK plug with a 1.5m cable. The bulb is moderately bright, fine for bedside use, and is a relaxing warm white. Nothing looks poorly made or likely to fail anytime soon.
So, at first sight, this is a very traditional old style bedroom light with a nicely weighted circular base and a 42 cm stand, both made from heavy-duty coated steel. The 5w E27 screw bulb can be replaced easily enough with any E27 bulb rated up to a 60w equivalence. What gives the lamp a high tech edge are the two side-mounted 5V/2A USB charging ports and the unusual touch switching.
To operate the lamp touch anywhere on the metal base or stand to adjust brightness, unlike with rivals there is no soft touch switch or switching area. This could be handy when fumbling to turn it on at night. First tap to turn the lamp on, twice to change to low brightness mode, the third tap to medium brightness mode, the fourth to high brightness, and the last a to turn off the lamp. I had some trouble with this the first time I used it but after moving the lamp to another location it has worked perfectly.
This a well made and easy to use bedside lamp, free from annoying whistles and bells, that does the job it is made for rather well with just enough modern tech to make it interesting. For £39.99 it is not cheap, but good things seldom are.
