Floor Lamps

The history of floor lamps in America stems from the early days of electricity. Homes were not wired for overhead lighting, and the lamp industry quickly responded with 300 and 500 watt floor lamps. Construction was usually solid brass with hand made silk or stretched linen lampshades.

Our floor lamps are designed to harness that same quantity of illumination from a bygone era: quality light using less than 100 watts of energy! The breakthrough efficiency of Microsun technology now permits interior design using the mainstream floor lamps from the industrial era. Surprisingly, today’s flat screens and digital devices are more compatible with floor lamp illumination than with overhead lighting or down-lights.
