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 metal toggle switch and a short flexible arm, The base and arm are plated with a bright pewter finish. We even filed and received a patent on the three dimensional aperture shade, wrote an illustrated guide book and designed the lamp's packaging.
The SteamLight Simple is our basic and essential model, with a polished finish and a simple plastic cord.
If you need more than one of this lamp just let us know and we will arrange that.
