A pool of light on the page, and none in your partner's eyes.
The Lectern is a slim reading light for the bedside: a narrow wall plate with its own switch, a 40 cm flexible arm and a small cylindrical head with a warm integrated LED. Bend the arm to put the light exactly where you read, then push it back against the wall when you are done.
- Flexible 40 cm arm: bends and stays where you put it.
- Focused beam: lights the book, not the whole room.
- Switch on the plate: no reaching for a lamp in the dark.
- Integrated LED: warm white, built in, nothing to change.
Made for bedsides, headboards, reading chairs and guest rooms.

Questions
How long will delivery take?
Delivery is free to every UK address. Allow 4–8 working days from your order; you’ll get a tracking link as soon as it’s dispatched.
Do I need an electrician?
Pendants, ceiling lights and hard-wired wall lights connect to a ceiling or wall point and should be fitted by a qualified electrician. Plug-in and rechargeable lamps need no fitting.
What if I change my mind?
You have 30 days from delivery to return any unused item in its original packaging for a refund. Return postage is at your own cost for change-of-mind returns; if an item arrives faulty or not as described, we cover the return in full. See our Refund Policy.
Is there a warranty?
Yes, every light comes with a 2-year warranty. If anything goes wrong, email contact@seldenhome.com with your order number.
Do you deliver outside the UK?
No. Selden Home delivers to UK addresses only.

A note from Selden Home
Chosen for British homes · contact@seldenhome.com
Dear reader,
Selden Home began with a problem most of us know: a room lit by one flat ceiling light, and nothing between the high street and the designer showroom to put it right.
So we choose every light for how it behaves once the evening draws in: the warmth of its glow, the glare, the pool it throws. Then we show it lit, in rooms like yours. If you are unsure about a size or a finish, send us a photo of your room and one of us will reply.
With warm regards,
From all of us at Selden Home
