Globe Table Lamp, White Opal Glass on a Metal Base, 3 Light Tones

This globe table lamp pairs a white glass globe with a metal base, in a compact size that fits almost anywhere. Lit, the milky glass gives even, glare-free light that you set to one of three tones and dim to suit the hour. It runs on USB, so it plugs into a phone charger or a laptop. It is made for anyone who wants a quiet accent lamp for a nightstand, an entryway console or a shelf.

Design and materials of the glass globe table lamp

The white glass globe recalls the opaline of antique lamps: a milky, almost porcelain-like material that keeps its glow even when the lamp is off. It rests on a metal base that anchors it to the furniture. The round shape softens the straight lines of a nightstand, a desk or a bookcase. Understated, it works with light wood, linen and marble as well as black metal. Several globe lamps spread around a room create points of light that feel consistent. It also makes a good bedside globe lamp, set on either side of a bed for a gentle symmetry.

The light of a white globe lamp

The LED source is included, so there is nothing else to buy. Three tones are available, from warm white for the evening to a more neutral light for reading or working, and the brightness is adjustable. In the evening, stay on the warmest tone at low brightness to wind down before sleep. During the day, a brighter tone lights a desk or a reading corner better. The globe spreads light all around, 360°.

Where to put this opal glass lamp

In a bedroom, place one on each side of the bed: the pair is enough to set the evening mood. In an entryway, on a console, it greets you with soft light and reflects nicely in a round mirror hung above. In the living room, tuck it into a bookcase between two rows of books to add depth. In a home office, it softens the screen in the evening. You can pair it with the white mushroom lamp in the same milky glass, or find other shapes among our table lamps.
