The diminutive form of the "Lampette" resembles a two-part truncated cone when opened - with the shade appearing to match the top of the base - whilst in reality the shade fits to the bottom of the base when closed, with the arm rotating around the upturned base rather than collapsing into the top as is often the case with telescopic lamps.

The body of the lamp is a light grey/silver tone with the interior of the shade finished in white, with chromed metal and silver tone detailing. The lamp has two intensity settings for flexible illumination and the arm on which the shade sits extends from a lowly 13cm (5¼ in.) to 40cm (15¾ in.) and rotates through 360 degrees. The shade is hinged where it meets the arm allowing for further flexibilty, allowing the shade to be positioned downwards almost at the perpendicular to almost vertically upwards. To get an idea of how it looks in use, please refer to this page for a previously stocked Lampette.

The base has a diameter of 8cm (3¼ in.) and a height of 9cm (3½ in.) and the shade measures approximately 7cm (2¾ in.) in length with an opening of 5cm (2 in.).  In its most compact form the entire lamp measures therefore about 15cm (6 in.) in length. The lamp is rated to a 220V power supply and takes a 6V 25W bulb, a dimmable motoring bulb style (small bayonet) fit, and it is currently wired to a continental two pin plug (but has been successfully used with a three pin adapter). In very good overall cosmetic condition, bar  some minor storage wear and very sound mechanically.

It's presented in what might be a described as a light mushroom tone - a neutral pale grey-brown - with the interior of the shade finished in white, with chromed metal and silver tone detailing. The lamp has two intensity settings for flexible illumination and the arm on which the shade sits extends from a lowly 13cm (5¼ in.) to 40cm (15¾ in.) and rotates through 360 degrees. The shade is hinged where it meets the arm allowing for further flexibilty, allowing the shade to be positioned downwards almost at the perpendicular to almost vertically upwards. As can be seen from the photo gallery this flexibility in the arm and shade allows for a wide variety of possible positionings and configurations.

The base has a diameter of 8cm (3¼ in.) and a height of 9cm (3½ in.) and the shade measures approximately 7cm (2¾ in.) in length with an opening of 5cm (2 in.).  In its most compact form the entire lamp measures therefore about 15cm (6 in.) in length. The lamp is rated to a 220V power supply and takes a 6V 25W bulb, a dimmable motoring bulb style (bayonet) fit, and it is currently wired to a continental two pin plug (but has been successfully used with a three pin adapter). In very good overall cosmetic condition bar a couple of minor marks/patches of slight discolouration to the plastics, and very sound mechanically.

The construction is a mix of white/cream and grey plastic and metal, with a wood effect plastic topping to the base - very 70s!  The base also features an illuminated on/off button which is very appealing when lit and a switch for the two lamp modes. There is a distinct difference between the low and high settings of this lamp, which is not always the case with lamps of this type.

The lamp base measures 8cm by 9cm by 6cm (3¼ in. x 3½ in. x 2½ in.) and the arms extend in two sections to approximately 40cm (16 in.).  The lamp is in fully working condition and good visual condition, with just some minor defects which we will draw your attention to. The worst of these is some damage to the edge of the plastic base housing, but it's not very noticeable in ordinary use. We have added felt pads to the underneath of the base where it appears a pair of original plastic "feet" have perished. As is often the case with plastics of this era there is some slight discoloration due to sunlight exposure, but this particular example is quite good in that area.

The lamp takes two small bayonet 12V15CP bulbs which are widely available.
