Floor lamps are usually tall standing lamps which stand on the floor. The floor lamp usually has a weighted base to stop it falling over. A tall pole usually extends upwards with a light on top. Depending on the style of the lamp head, the floor lamp might be used as a torchiere for ambient light, or direct light downwards for reading in a chair. Ideally suited next to seating areas or beside a desk. Look also for full-spectrum bulbs for more natural light that’s easier on the eyes. Floor lamps are portable lamps and simply plug into a wall socket. Floor Lamp Benefits Adds a bright light source to your room. Brighter than other types of lamps. Portable, can easily be moved around. Tall design places the light at/above eye level. Easy to plug in and switch on. Brightly lights an area of the room. A good choice beside a chair for reading. A good alternative to regular light fixtures. Great for apartments and rental units. Provides multiple brightness levels. Full-Spectrum Lighting The light bulb in this item features full-spectrum technology. The spectrum of light output is similar to sunlight. White light actually contains multiple color frequencies combined together, and by representing as many frequencies as possible the light is a ‘full spectrum’ of frequencies. Typically full-spectrum bubs produce very white light which is also natural. The benefit is that it reduces glare and eye-strain, increases contrast for reading, and colors are represented more accurately. Great for Reading A reading lamp typically sits next to or behind a chair. It features an arm or lamp head which arcs over the side or back of the chair, focusing its light downwards. This allows you to read comfortably with bright light when seated. Positioning the light behind or to the side also reduces glare. Reading lamps tend to be shorter than regular floor lamps because they’re designed to be used for reading when sitting down. Most reading lamps are also adjustable and they produce a comfortable natural light. They’ve also great for crafts, hobbies and artistic projects. Modern Style Contemporary and innovative, modern lighting underscores futuristic form and structure, and geometric or asymmetrical shapes. A modern lighting design instills functionality within an artfully streamlined form, radiating a reflective glow while providing clear and bright light. Modern Lighting complements a sleek, contemporary interior with straight lines, and can also create an agreeable contrast with transitional styles. Task Lighting Task lighting places a stronger light in one area of the room. Very good for tasks when you’re sitting nearby. Most lamps can be used as task lights and can be quickly switched on when needed. Great for reading, crafts and hobbies. They also work well to light up one area of a room, e.g. on either side of a couch or in the corners of a room. Most of the light is directed downwards and out to the sides. For which rooms? A floor lamp is ideal in medium and large rooms. They don’t take up much floor space. Most often useful in a living room or family room, dining room, bedroom, home office or basement. Placement/Layering Floor lamps tend to have stronger levels of light, compared to other lamps. They therefore work well behind or beside seating areas, or in the corners of a room. One or two floor lamps in a room can help brighten up a room, or one side of a room. You will need an overhead light or additional lamps for brighter lighting. Mounts to the Floor Portable and free-standing on its base. Stands on a low, flat surface. Usually designed to stand on the floor. Should work on any floor type, carpeting, tile etc, if it’s relatively flat. Plugs in Plug the floor lamp into a regular power outlet socket and switch it on.
