Why Do Some Gold Table Lamps Look High-End Like Real Gold, While Others Look Like Plastic?
The main reason lies in the different coating processes used.
Nowadays, most table lamps are made from iron because it is cost-effective and practical. However, to enhance their appearance and prevent rusting, they often require surface treatments.
There are two main methods for coating these lamps:
- Paint Baking
This process is commonly used for black lamps. It involves applying a layer of paint that is then baked on. For gold-colored lamps, this coating can sometimes make them look like plastic if you don't touch them.
2. Electroplating
This process gives lamps a look similar to real gold or brass, resulting in a very attractive, high-end appearance. Although electroplating is slightly more expensive than paint baking, it is still much cheaper than using real brass.
At LEDIKON, we understand the importance of both aesthetics and durability. Our mid-century gold table lamp, for example, uses the electroplating process to achieve a luxurious look while ensuring long-lasting quality.
