This is a table lamp. You simply place the shade on top of the fixture with the light bulb. When placed near a wall, the shadows will reflect on the wall and ceiling. The cord length is approximately 145cm. It has a switch on the cord, which is convenient. When you use the light bulb in photo 6, the shadows will appear as in photos 1, 2, and 3. When you use the light bulb in photo 8, the shadows will not appear as much, as in photo 7. Two light bulbs are included, so please use whichever one you prefer. The approximate size is: diameter 25cm, and the height is about 30cm when the shade is placed on the fixture. The mat used for taking the photos is not included with the product.
