The Luxor?s pure pyramidal form makes a clean contemporary statement that raises the bar with an elegant white silk-like drum shade. A texture resembling silk runs in a vertical pattern for more modern appeal. A three-way rotary switch on the socket controls a 150 Watt incandescent bulb or equivalent CFL. The 3-way rotary socket switch will only work with a 3-way light bulb, otherwise this lamp will function with simple on/off switch at its highest setting.
