After that we decided to take it seriously and work on designing it as a line of lamps. This is the Micro lamp - the small desk lamp, named so because it looks a bit like an old microphone. We sought and found the perfect steamer for the job, added a tilt that's connected to its rotation so it can be aimed anywhere, added a reflector and a small handle to help with opening and closing and also added a long life energy efficient xenon bulb that gives a warm light color tone. The Micro lamp has a 3/4 sphere base with a small touch dimmer knob and a short flexible arm, The base and arm are plated with a bright pewter finish. We even filed a patent on the three dimensional aperture shade, wrote an illustrated guide book and designed its packaging.
The designer edition is our high end line that includes refined details such as a brushed finish, a black braided cord with a thin white tracer and a pewter plated key handle.
This dimmer model has a unique metal touch control dimmer knob on its base for three levels of light, on and off.
