The Searchlight Kent 56231-1BZ table lamp combines a bronze finish with champagne frosted glass to provide soft, decorative lighting for bedrooms, living rooms and smaller spaces. Its simple cylindrical shape and warm colour combination suit contemporary and modern classic interiors without taking up much room. Measuring 23 cm high and 11 cm wide, this compact lamp fits comfortably on bedside tables, sideboards, console tables and shelves. The frosted glass helps diffuse light from the single E27 bulb, making it particularly suitable for gentle background illumination. An inline on/off switch provides convenient everyday control, while the replaceable bulb allows you to choose an appropriate brightness and colour temperature for your room.
The Kent table lamp features a slender cylindrical glass shade supported by a simple metal base in a painted bronze finish. Its champagne frosted glass introduces a soft, warm-toned appearance that complements the darker bronze detailing.
The frosted surface softens the visibility of the bulb and diffuses light through the sides of the shade. Clean lines and restrained detailing make the lamp suitable for interiors where decorative lighting is wanted without an elaborate design.
At just 11 cm wide, its compact proportions also make it practical for furniture with limited surface space. The combination of metal and glass creates a balanced appearance that works alongside wood, neutral fabrics and other warm-toned finishes.
The Kent uses one replaceable E27 bulb, which is not included. An E27 GLS LED bulb is specified by the manufacturer, making it straightforward to select a suitable energy-efficient light source.
The champagne frosted glass diffuses light through the cylindrical shade, helping reduce direct glare compared with an exposed bulb. This makes the lamp well suited to bedside illumination, supplementary living room lighting and creating a softer pool of light on a side table.
Brightness and colour temperature depend on the bulb selected. A warm white LED bulb can complement the champagne glass and bronze finish, while a brighter bulb may provide more general illumination.
The lamp operates using an inline on/off switch on its power cable. It does not have a built-in dimming function and provides standard on/off control only.
With an IP20 rating, the Kent is intended for dry indoor environments rather than bathrooms or outdoor locations.
