Buttons on the switch set into the USB lead step the light through three colours and nine brightness levels, from a low night-time glow to a bright pool to read by.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt stands 30 cm high and measures 18 cm across the shade, so it is about as tall as a wine bottle and takes up a third of the width of a typical 55 cm bedside table. It runs on 5 V from a USB lead rather than the mains, which means there is no plug to match to an Australian socket and nothing to wire in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo-tier stacked shade:\u003c\/strong\u003e two flattened discs of milky moulded plastic, the upper one slightly narrower than the lower, with a bright seam of light escaping from the waist between them\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThree light colours:\u003c\/strong\u003e warm, neutral and cool white, chosen on the lamp itself rather than fixed at the factory\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNine brightness levels:\u003c\/strong\u003e stepped on the same switch, from a dim bedside glow to the brightest setting\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSB power, nothing to adapt:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5 V through a USB lead, so it plugs into any USB charger, laptop or powered USB socket, with no mains plug and no electrician\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeighted chrome base:\u003c\/strong\u003e a flat round polished chrome disc on a slim chrome stem, heavy enough to hold the lamp steady on a hard surface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSizes and options\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne size, two colours: a white shade or an orange shade, both 30 cm high and 18 cm across, both on the same polished chrome stem and base. The three light colours and the nine brightness levels are settings on the lamp, not versions to choose when ordering. The orange shade reads as a strong, saturated orange with the lamp switched off; switched on, the light coming through it is a softer amber, paler than the shade looks unlit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere it works best\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBedside tables, hallway consoles, shelves, sideboards, dining tables, kitchen benches and home office desks, as a bedside light and an evening accent rather than a light for a whole room. It needs a USB power source within reach of the lead, so it suits a bedside table beside a USB wall socket, a desk next to a laptop, or a shelf with a USB charger behind it. The manufacturer does not state the length of the lead, and buyers describe it as short, so measure the run to the nearest USB point before choosing a spot. No IP rating is stated by the manufacturer, so it is an indoor lamp for dry areas and must not be used outdoors, in a bathroom splash zone or anywhere damp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n \u003ctbody\u003e\n \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18 cm across the shade, the widest point\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNumber of lights\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterials\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMoulded plastic shade on a metal stem and base; the manufacturer lists plastic and iron.

Fit the stem into the chrome base, then clip the shade over the light head, pressing it on gently and evenly - the clips are sprung and should not be forced. Stand the lamp on a flat, stable surface and plug the USB lead into a USB charger, a powered USB wall socket or a laptop. The buttons on the lead step through the three light colours and the nine brightness levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCare\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSwitch the lamp off and unplug it before cleaning. Wipe the shade, stem and base with a soft, dry cloth, and use a barely damp cloth on marks, drying straight away. Moulded plastic scratches more easily than glass, so avoid solvents, alcohol and abrasive cleaners on the shade and never rub it with a gritty cloth. Polished chrome shows fingerprints, which lift with a dry microfibre cloth. Keep water away from the USB connector and the switch, and never submerge any part of the lamp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eQuick answers\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow big is the Stacked Disc Shade Dimmable USB Bedside Table Lamp?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt stands 30 cm high and 18 cm across the shade, roughly the height of a standard wine bottle. On a 55 cm bedside table the shade takes up about a third of the width, which leaves room for a book and a glass beside it. It is a bedside and accent lamp rather than a light for a whole room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the shade glass?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The shade is moulded plastic, which is what the manufacturer lists, and the stem and base are metal with a polished chrome finish. Plastic keeps the lamp light and means the shade will not chip, and it scratches more easily than glass, so a soft dry cloth suits it better than any cleaner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow are the light colour and the brightness changed?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth are set with the buttons on the switch built into the USB lead: one steps through the three light colours, warm, neutral and cool white, and the other moves the brightness through nine levels. Buyers report that the lamp does not hold its last setting once it is unplugged and comes back on at full brightness in the white setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it need a plug, a battery or an electrician?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNone of the three. The lamp runs on 5 V through a USB lead, so it plugs into any USB charger, powered USB wall socket or laptop port, with nothing to adapt for an Australian socket and no wiring. It is not a cordless lamp and has no battery, so it stays connected to the USB source while it is lit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the orange shade glow orange?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot the same orange. The shade is a strong, saturated orange when the lamp is off, and it is at its most striking that way in daylight. Switched on, the light that comes through the plastic is a soft amber and the colour looks paler than it does unlit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"LumePorch","offers":[{"title":"White","offer_id":68078175060288,"sku":"LP-TBL085-WH","price":177.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Orange","offer_id":68078175093056,"sku":"LP-TBL085-OR","price":177.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/6252\/7808\/files\/stacked-disc-shade-dimmable-usb-bedside-table-lamp-01.jpg?v=1794319049","url":"https:\/\/lumeporch.com\/products\/stacked-disc-shade-dimmable-usb-bedside-table-lamp","provider":"LumePorch","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
