Adjustable Reading Light: by Cameron & Miles

Size and Fittings Guide

We have been working on designs which fulfil a real need and lamps that combine style with a good light for reading are difficult to find. This design is based on a vintage find which fulfilled both functions.

The lamp has both a tilting joint at the bulb and a bendable stem so you can really focus the light where you need it.

Shown here with a crisp linen shade made to order, it sits smartly on a desk. Alternatively, soften it with a gathered version in any of our materials for a cosier bedside option. Have a look at all the choices on our Gathered Shade product pages.

 Natural height 45cm height by 32cm width (including wider shade shown). Shade charged separately and made bespoke.

Fitting Guide

If your lampshade is to hang as a ceiling light we make it with a pendant fitting at the top of the shade. Otherwise, we will make it in our standard way with what’s known as a duplex fitting. This then sits on a shade carrier, fits all standard and table lamps and allows you to adjust the height of the shade to suit your base. So for ceiling light, please choose CEILING and for standard and table lamps please choose LAMP BASE FITTING

The exception to this is if you choose a small lampshade for a lamp base when we use a fixed fitting at the bottom of the shade. Because the shade is relatively small, we think this looks better. This will be automatically adjusted when you order but if you have any queries or are unsure about anything, don’t hesitate to email or give us a ring, 07790 527 594 / 07968 103985

Size & Shape Guide

Tall Drum Dimensions

This drum is a little longer than many you will find in the shops and as such has a more contemporary and unusual look. It suits both table and standard lamp bases and works very well as a ceiling light.

French Drum Dimensions

Another classic design which lends itself to most lamp bases. We have experimented with a number of similar shapes and think that the slope of its sides is just about right.

Contemporary Drum Dimensions

A more contemporary take on the French Drum, this shape has steeper sides for a more modern look.

Candle Shade Dimensions

Our candle shades come as 3/4 cones or full cones. If your light is fixed close to the wall or the sconces are close together, 3/4 cones work perfectly.
