Does it come with a bulb?

No. The lamp takes one bulb, which you buy separately, so you can choose the wattage and color temperature you want.

What kind of bulb does it take?

It uses a single standard bulb in the socket. Pick a bulb that fits the shade and suits reading or ambient light.

It stands 12.5 inches tall, so it sits low next to a bed or on a desk.

Is it good for reading?

It gives focused light for a small area. For full-room brightness, a larger lamp with a wider shade works better.

Can it be used outdoors?

No. It is corded electric and made for indoor use only.

How long is the cord?

The cord is 5 ft long, which gives some freedom in where you place it near an outlet.

Our take on the Mainstays 12.5 in Mini Black Ball Table Lamp with White Fabric Shade

A compact accent lamp with a black ball base and a white linen shade, standing 12.5 inches tall. The small footprint suits bedside tables, desks and tight corners where a full-size lamp won't fit. The linen shade softens the light, and a push-through socket switch keeps operation simple. It takes one bulb, sold separately, so you pick the brightness and warmth. Against larger ceramic or metal lamps it trades presence for space savings, and owners rate it well for a small, clean look.
