The Product
- An iron desk lamp: a round disk base, a cylindrical light head or shade, and a rod from the side of the base that holds the shade.
- The lamp head takes a 35W GU10 halogen bulb, included, that produces heat to melt a candle placed on the base. The surface can reach 120 degrees Celsius.
- It gives off enough light to read by, but its primary use is melting the candle. A dimmer switch on the cord adjusts the brightness.
- The base only holds the candle in place; the candle is sold separately. Designed for home use.

- Is it an electric desk or table lamp?
- Is it made of base metal, such as iron?
- Is it designed for use in the home?
- Does its bulb give off light and also heat a candle set on its base?
A no to any of them can mean a different code. A licensed broker can classify your product.
