Price List for Lights
"Tischleuchte 1-flg. mit Tastdimmer, Opalglas weiß"
From a price list for lights. I have absolutely no idea what "flg." stands for, but it occurs a lot in this list. I'm sure there must be a ridiculously easy solution, but I can't find it and I'm hopeless with abbreviations. TIA for your assistance.

Comment: "Thanks Cilian. This was a clear and convincing answer, and had the most "agrees". But Klaus' answer was rather good too, and I'd have given the points to both of you if possible. Many thanks - appreciate your help. Thanks also to the others who offered an idea."

tlg.?
Could it be a typo for 1-tlg. = 1-teilig = in one part?

single/one lamp
flg is definitely n-flammig, with n being an integer indicating how many lamps there are. I think that's 'n lamp(s)' in English. 100% on the German term, 50% on the English term gives a confidence level of 4 :)
