Choosing a type
| Type | Best for |
|---|---|
| Arc lamp | Reaches out over a sofa or armchair from a base set back on the floor, giving reading light without a cord running across the seating area. |
| Tripod or standing lamp | A fixed, upright light suited to a corner or beside a console, where floor space is not tight. |
| Sculptural or statement lamp | Works as a decorative piece first and a light source second, best placed where it is seen rather than where reading happens. |
Sizing and placement
For a reading lamp beside a chair or sofa, the light source should sit roughly 15cm to 20cm above the arm of the seat, so the bulb is level with your shoulder when seated. In an open corner without seating nearby, a taller sculptural piece, 150cm to 170cm, reads better as a design statement. Leave at least 40cm of clearance around the base so it isn't a trip hazard in a walkway.
How much do floor lamps cost in Nigeria?
The median is ₦235,000, with the middle half of the range between ₦220,000 and ₦257,500. Prices run from ₦90,000 to ₦500,000.
What height should a floor lamp be?
For reading beside a chair or sofa, the light source should sit 15cm to 20cm above the arm of the seat. As a standalone statement piece in a corner, 150cm to 170cm reads better.
Arc lamp or standing lamp for a living room?
An arc lamp reaches out over a sofa from a base set back on the floor, useful where you want reading light without a cord across the seating area. A standing or tripod lamp is better for a corner or beside a console where floor space is not tight.
Are floor lamps with tall or top-heavy shades stable?
Only with a wide, weighted base. Marble and stone bases are the most stable option, and a slim tripod base needs a wider stance to match the height of the shade above it.
Table lamp or floor lamp for a reading corner?
A floor lamp if the chair has no side table, since it stands independently and can be positioned exactly beside the arm of the seat. A table lamp if a side table is already there, since it takes no extra floor space.
Compare with table lamps for a smaller footprint, check current prices in the Nigeria Lighting Price Index, or browse indoor wall lights for an option that takes up no floor space at all.
