Second Marriage Lamp by George Kovacs

Do you share a bedtime reading lamp with a significant other? Do you ever want to sleep before they do and wish the light weren't still glaring down on you? We have that exact situation going on in our home, and our dream solution would be to hardwire two Artemide Tolomeos onto the wall. But without the budget for that at the time, the Second Marriage by George Kovacs is one solution...

Second Marriage is a plug-in wall-mount fixture with two lamps on it. Yet it has two separate dimming controls that allow you and your partner independent light and darkness. We like it even better in black, and priced at less than $90.

yes.....perfect.

We have this lamp and I can't say enough good things about it. One of the nicest things is that it frees up significant real estate on each of our nightstands.

I have the Portica stainless steel canopy bed from Room and Board. How would this look with that? Too much???

i don't think the stainless steel would be too much with the portica bed. especially if the walls are painted an interesting color.

Yes! I just bought two of these to use as sconces in the hallway to highlight some art. They can be hardwired and look great! AND they're super cheap at $61 a pop - no tax, no shipping here:

I bought two of a similar lamp @ west elm. At a floor sample a few months back.

Had I known the Seond Marriagelamp existed I would have purchased it instead.

Does it get hot with halogens overhead like that. Maybe that's an issue only here in Florida.

i know that this is a really old thread but we just purchased this light and i can't decide how high to mount it. i'm afraid that when i sit up in bed i'll hit my head on it but then when i put it up high enough for that i think that it looks weird.
