Most desk lamps are plastic around unshielded wiring. The Jovial has a grounded all-metal body, shielded internal wiring and a shielded 7-foot cord, plus a pivoting arm and counterbalanced shade.
It includes a GoldyLux 150W R125 halogen bulb and takes bulbs up to 150W. UL listed, in black or white.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the shielding on a lamp do?
The metal body, the internal wiring shield and the cord shield are all grounded, so the electric field from the lamp's live conductors drains to ground. A body-voltage meter can read lower near it than near a plastic lamp.
Does the lamp get hot?
Yes. A 150W halogen runs hot, like a heat lamp. Keep the front of the shade at least 8 inches from anything on your desk and turn the lamp off when you leave the room.
Which bulbs can I use?
The included GoldyLux is a 150W R125 halogen with a rated life of 1,000 to 2,000 hours. The lamp also takes any incandescent or halogen bulb up to 150W, or a low-flicker LED.
Does it need a grounded outlet?
Yes. The grounded body and shielding drain through the plug's ground pin, so an ungrounded outlet gives them nowhere to send the field. A plug-in outlet tester shows whether an outlet is wired correctly.
