Key Features
Base and shade are perfectly symmetrical in the John Beck Steel Shoe Box Table Lamp, bringing crisp white linen and solid steel together in this boxy accent light. The welded steel base is finished with their exclusive “Smoke Patina”, resulting in a blend of dark colors on the surface of the metal. The space between the shade and base is quite minimal, so once lit, the shade is fully brightened in contrast to the steel, reflecting only against the top of the base.
John Beck Steel has an unapologetic attitude when it comes to the virtues of hot rolled steel. Based in the heartland of the USA, this small studio gets down to the nitty gritty of machine-based production, working exclusively with welded steel and solid wood for their range of industrial lighting designs. Each fixture is designed and handmade in Edwardsville, Illinois.

The amount of light that comes from a bulb, which has commonly been measured in watts. The more lumens, the brighter the bulb.Wattage
A measurement of the power delivered to a component of an electric circuit (allowing a one-ampere current to flow through the component under the pressure of 1 volt.)Bulb Shape
Bulb shapes are denoted with a letter, which describes the shape, and a number, which indicates the size. The number indicates the diameter of the light bulb at its widest part in eighths of an inch.Base
