Product Insights
The Marta Table Lamp by Adesso (248 CAD, in stock) delivers a warm 2700–3000K glow for surfaces at least 18 inches deep and 24–30 inches tall, offering brightness from ambient to task levels (up to 100W-equivalent) but no dimming, requiring LED bulbs to prevent shade yellowing and heat-related pleat damage. Backed by a 1-year limited warranty and ETL safety certification, it emphasizes customer support and dry-cleaning methods as compromises for its fixed brightness and shade material.

Deep Research
Adesso brand quality and warranty
- Adesso covers the Marta lamp with a 1-year limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship, requiring proof of purchase and an RMA for claims — a standard but meaningful consumer protection that provides a year of recourse if a manufacturing flaw surfaces.
- The Marta lamp carries the ETL Listed mark, meaning it has been independently tested to meet North American electrical safety standards — a third-party certification that provides assurance against electrical faults and reflects Adesso's practice of securing safety verification for its lighting products.
- Adesso operates from a physical office at 333 West 39th Street in New York City and provides multiple contact channels — a local customer service line at 212-736-4440 and a support hotline at 800-795-6788 (9am-5pm PST, Monday through Friday) — reflecting a brick-and-mortar infrastructure that is more accessible than the generic email-only support common among online-only lamp sellers.
Where a 25.5-inch table lamp fits
- Guidance for platform beds and beds with low or no headboard points to a 24–28 inch lamp as the appropriate scale; at 25.5 inches, the Marta fills that niche exactly, so it won't clash with a minimalist headboard or get lost beside a low-profile bed frame.
- The 25.5-inch total height lands inside the 24–30 inch recommendation that multiple design sources prescribe for bedside lamps on 24–28 inch nightstands, so on a typical nightstand the shade bottom will sit near seated eye level and avoid exposing the bare bulb.
- A frequently repeated styling rule insists that a lamp shade should never overhang the table it rests on; with an 18-inch-wide shade, the Marta demands a nightstand, desk, or console at least 18 inches deep or wide to keep the silhouette contained and avoid an unstable look.
- Design sizing tables list 24–30 inches as the ideal lamp height for 30–36 inch console tables and sideboards, meaning the Marta’s 25.5-inch build won't disappear on a taller entryway surface but also won't overpower a framed mirror or art hung above it.
Pairing a bulb for warm ambient light
- A warm white LED bulb in the 2700K–3000K range is the most direct path to the lamp's promised 'warm and inviting glow,' as it casts a soft, candle-like tone that enhances the natural wood base and gives the white shade a welcoming, rather than clinical, appearance.
- The lamp is specified to accept a 17W LED (100W incandescent equivalent) that can deliver up to 1600 lumens — sufficient for task reading — but for a softer, ambient bedside light, stepping down to a 60W equivalent (~800 lumens) in the same warm color temperature gives a more restrained glow while still fully utilizing the shade's diffusing properties.
- Switching to an LED bulb drastically reduces the heat transferred to the polyester shade, which helps prevent yellowing, stiffening, or delamination of the accordion pleats over time — a practical maintenance win for a lamp whose visual appeal hinges on the pristine condition of its fabric.
How the pleated polyester shade performs
- The knife-pleat folds naturally collect dust on their upward-facing surfaces, but a monthly pass with a vacuum brush attachment or a shot of compressed air from top to bottom clears the accumulation without the moisture that can relax the crisp pleat structure over time.

Q&A
1 answered- Can the lamp be used with a dimmer switch or is it strictly on/off due to the rotary switch on the socket?
- This lamp is strictly on/off — the rotary switch on the socket is a 1-way (on/off) control and does not support dimming [1]. It is not designed to be used with a dimmer switch through the lamp's own mechanism.
