Question: What is a good living room lamp?

[dodgechargerfan]

A regular table lamp with a shade on top or a floor lamp that does up lighting?

 

[Punchy]

You looking for room lighting, or localized lighting? Those up-turned halogens get hot, but they do light up a room.

I have a couple of nice table lamps. They work great and provide a nice, warm organic bloom of light. I'm not sure they would cut through like a proper upfiring floor lamp with a powerful LED, but I like the old school feel of bulbs and a vintage look of a fringed shade.

I use a Tolomeo Mega in my living room. At ~$900 it’s expensive, but still affordable for a good floor lamp. It can handle a 150 watt bulb, which is a lot of light. The drawbacks are that there’s a fuse in the control box that occasionally needs replacing, and the control box is plastic, so of course my kids broke the slider.

But given what a good lamp costs it’s worth getting an estimate from an electrician to just run power to a new box in the ceiling and install a ceiling fan from the Modern Fan Company.

The lamp your wife picked out. End of discussion.

Fender Twin, turned around. Nothing like the soft glow of 6l6s that have been idling for hours on end. You could probably find a Super Twin cheap; 6x 6L6s - I had Ted Nugent used to run six of 'em in his living room.

Get yourself a Kúchëntùnenbrâg from Ikea.

I recently got this lamp. It's called the Brella.

Depends entirely on the room and on the designated function. Location location location.

We actually own a leg lamp that my mother got Mrs. P. for Christmas a few years ago. It's only about 12 inches tall, though. :(

Whoa, is that like that picture where you see either the young woman or the old lady?

There is no other lamp but this one.

Sort of, but it's a LAMP, pervert.

We may need to narrow it down a bit, but here's a start.
