lampstand

Definition:

In the Bible, the term “lampstand” refers to a structure on which a lamp is placed in order to provide light to a room.

The lampstand would be tall enough so that the light of the lamp could shine throughout the room.
The lampstand could be made of wood or metal and could hold one or more lamps.
Ordinary lamps were made of clay, and lamps for special purposes, such as for the temple, were made of metal (such as bronze, silver, or gold.)
The lamps were in the shape of a bowl with a raised lip on one side that held a wick. The lamps were filled with olive oil that soaked the wick and burned when the wick was lighted.
In the Jerusalem temple there was a special gold lampstand that had seven branches for holding seven lamps.

This term could be also translated as “lamp pedestal” or “structure for holding a lamp” or “lamp holder.”
For the temple lampstand, this could be translated as “seven-lamp lampstand” or “gold pedestal with seven lamps.”
It would also be helpful in a translation to include pictures of a simple lampstand and a seven-branch lampstand in the relevant Bible passages.
