Turntable table lamp recommendations.

[Guest yamaha_man]

Well I need a lamp for my turntable.

I'm sure there is a few gents here with impeccable taste who can help me out.

There is no budget but would like to keep it in the 3 figure range, pif something special was suggested that was 4 figures I would certainly consider it. Have included tt pics to help.

Look forward to your recommendations.

Cheers.

I purchased mine as an afterthought when strolling through a St Vinnies store.

Nothing special needed IMO.

[Guest yamaha_man]

Nice, this also caught my eye.

Some nice lamps here.

Wonder if there is anywhere in Melbourne where I can view this or a similar range.

I got a battery operated 19-20 LED one with a floor stand mount about 1.2m tall. I did not want any transformers from the lamp in the system AC circuit. Like you I was willing to spend for a nice one. Eventually got this by fluke from ALDI for a paltry $20. Havent changed the battery for over a year. (4 x AA). Nice white light, so picks up the reflection of dirt easily. if of any interest let me know if you want to see a pic of it.

Beacon lighting. I bought a $30 white lamp that softly clamps on my rack shelf.

Looks great does the job.

This is what I use:

$30 at Ikea

I like the LED lamps because although a very bare cool light you can easily see record imperfections.

I also like this one:

$70 at ikea.

If you are going to Euroluce, check out the Jielde range.....early French Modernist lamps.....

This doesn't really go with your modern furniture but I thought I'd post it anyway.

My vote goes to the Artemide Tizio, designed by Richard Sapper in 1972.

Like this one also! Any idea of price or stockist?

Contact Artemide on (03) 9349 3310. They have an office located in Carlton, Victoria. Price for the dimmable LED version is around $1200 (last time I enquired) but significantly less for incandescent versions. Cheaper copies are available but I see the real thing as a long term investment in a piece of functional design/industrial art.

[Guest guru]

I bought mine for $40 at lawsons auctions in August.

And yes, it is the genuine article.

Oh for ****'s sake...$1200 for a freck'n lamp for your turntable...

It will significantly improve the sound, because of the cryogenically treated light bulb.

If you don't like the idea I couldn't give a ****!

I like quality items and don't mind paying accordingly.
