It is fully functional, has only a few signs of wear and tear, no chips or cracks to the plastic, and very little tarnishing to the metal neck. The white body still retains a good colour, unlike some examples of this particular lamp which sometimes have turned into a darker cream colour. The label on the underside has some pen marks on it from a previous owner.

This one is in very good condition. There is minimal discolouration to the white plastics (as is sometimes the case), there are no chips or cracks to the shade or the body, and it is solid and fully functional. In summary, this is a very good example of this particular variety of lamp.

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 is fully functional, has few significant signs of wear and tear, with no chips or cracks to the plastic, and very little tarnishing to the metal "neck". The white plastic sections and body have been re-painted as the original parts were discoloured.

This one is in very good condition. There is minimal discolouration to the white plastics (as is sometimes the case), there are no chips or cracks to the shade or the body, and it is solid and fully functional. As an added bonus, the original box is also present with this lamp - albeit more than slightly age-worn.

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.

In good cosmetic and fully-working condition, with only minor signs of use and age.  In its most compact form the lamp measures approximately 18cm (7 in.) in height, the lower body section being half of this. The telescopic arm extends to approximately 27cm (10½ in.) with the shade diameter 8cm (3inb.) at the opening and 4cm (1½ in.) at the rear.

The metal telescopic stem allows for adjustability of length from approximately 13cm to 37cm and features a rotating top section to allow the shade to be positioned in the required direction. This flexibility is emphasised by an additional angle adjustment on the shade itself for further positioning.

The sturdy base (approximately 12cm x 8cm x 5cm) is predominately plastic with a slight texture and houses a reassuringly solid switch and a hinge allowing the telescopic stem to be angled from the vertical to just a few degrees above the horizontal. The two part shade is approximately 8cm in diameter around its middle with an opening of about 5cm and is vented to the rear. The lamp takes a standard small bayonet B15 bulb - a "pygmy" size bulb looks best in conjunction with it.

It is fully functional, has few significant signs of wear and tear, and has little of the plastic discolouration and loss of surface which sometimes besets these lamps. Notably, the white plastic sections and body have retained much of their original tone unlike many examples.  The only imperfection to an otherwise excellent condition status is the presence on the underside of some lightly etched initials. These could be painted out/obscured if required.
