ABOUT FLOOR LAMPS
Floor lamps are lamps for the home which stand on the floor and are typically about five feet high. They are available in an immense variety of styles, including classic, Tiffany, Oriental, and contemporary. They are usually made of aluminium or steel with a brass, chrome, or painted finish. They may also be made of wood or bamboo.
Apart from choice of materials and finishes, there is a wide choice of functional designs. The simplest floor lamps take the form of a single column carrying a traditional lampshade. Other floor lamps have hinged or swinging arms, so that the position and the direction of the light can be adjusted. Others are of branched design, carrying multiple lamps. Floor lamps are also available with uplighter shades, which throw the light up onto the ceiling.
Some suppliers specialise in low energy floor lamps, with the shades specially designed to accommodate low energy or light emitting diode (LED) light sources.
