Cast Iron Floor Lamp Counterweight

This TUKO cast iron loader adds five pounds of ballast to a floor lamp or large table lamp base. The 9 1/2 inch diameter disc sits inside the base to lower the centre of gravity and keep the fixture upright. A centred 1/4 IPS tapped hole accepts standard threaded pipe for straightforward assembly. It is designed and produced by B&P Lamp for new installations or repairs.

Stability Under Everyday Use

The solid cast iron construction resists shifting when the lamp is bumped or when a heavy shade is fitted. Weight is distributed evenly across the full diameter so the base does not wobble on uneven flooring. The 1 1/8 inch thickness allows the disc to sit flush inside most decorative bases without raising the lamp height. No moving parts mean the stabilising effect remains constant over time.

1/4 IPS Centre Thread Compatibility

The single specification that determines fit is the 1/4 IPS tapped centre hole. If your lamp uses a different pipe thread size or a non-threaded rod this counterweight will not mount without an adapter. Buyers with metric-threaded pipe or proprietary mounting systems should verify compatibility before purchase.

Questions about this item

Does the 5 lb cast-iron counterweight generate any heat or noise when the lamp stays on all day?

No. The solid cast-iron piece has no electrical parts, so it produces zero heat and makes no sound regardless of how long the lamp operates.

What existing lamp hardware is needed to mount the 9 1/2 in. diameter counterweight?

A 1/4 IPS threaded pipe or nipple that screws into the counterweight's centre bore.

Will the 1 1/8 in. thick counterweight fit inside the base of a vintage floor lamp that uses 1/4 IPS pipe?

Yes. The centre hole is tapped for 1/4 IPS, matching the threading used on many older floor-lamp bases.
