Floor Lamp Lighting Buyers Guide


There are always areas in a home where the artificial light will just not reach far enough from the pot lights in the ceiling, or the decoratively placed wall sconces. The need for a good reading light and accessory illumination can be cured with many types of floor lamp lighting. Having a schoolhouse pendant lightnext to your leather oxblood wingback chair will make it easier to enjoy your novella on a stormy evening, or just unwinding after a long day at work with a newspaper, and your favorite beverage. You will need an eye for decorating to match up just the right lamp with your current furnishings so it will blend in, and not stand out as a point of attention.

The use of floor lamps is a great money saving item, and if that is the only lighting you need in the room at the time, having all of the overhead fixtures turned on will just be a waste of electricity. The use of LED or low power CFL bulbs will considerably cut down on your power consumption, and there by reducing electrical costs. LED lights will be of a lower wattage, but will last in the range of ten thousand hours before having to be replaced. Floor lamps come in many styles, and some of the more popular models are made of brass, distressed pewter, and chrome alloy.

When shopping for a lamp in this category make sure that the base is heavy enough to prevent the whole assembly from toppling over if bumped by accident. You want a well-constructed unit that will last for decades, and spending a few extra dollars for quality will be money well spent. There are many types of floor lamps to choose from, as you can select models that project ambient lighting over a specified area like a couch or love seat. The torch or Servo style lamps will cast the light from an inverted metal or glass cone to the ceiling for bright indirect lighting. The more specific application of reading lamps will be best suited next to a chair, or your side of the bed for personal reading, and doing close quarter crafts like cross-stitch or needle point.

When ordering your floor lamp, ask the customer service person taking your order on the phone if you can specify which type of bulb that comes with your chosen model, or if they can offer a discount for ordering extra bulbs with your current order.
