What Is an Arc Floor Lamp?
An arc floor lamp is a standing lamp with a curved arm that extends outward from the base, allowing the light source to project over seating areas or workspace without requiring a side table. While the Metropolis is a traditional torchiere-style floor lamp with a vertical design rather than an arcing arm, it shares the same functional goal of providing ambient or task lighting in areas where overhead fixtures are impractical or unavailable.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How tall should a floor lamp be
- Most floor lamps range from 58 to 70 inches; at 65 inches, the Metropolis sits comfortably in the middle, tall enough to cast light over most seating without overwhelming a standard 8-foot ceiling.
- What is a torchiere lamp
- A torchiere lamp is a standing fixture that directs light upward toward the ceiling, creating indirect ambient illumination -- the Metropolis features a globe shade for diffused radiance rather than a pure uplight design.
- What wattage bulb for a reading floor lamp
- For reading tasks, use a 60-75 watt equivalent LED bulb in the E26 socket to provide adequate brightness without eye strain, and position the lamp within 12-18 inches of your reading chair.
- Do floor lamps come with bulbs
- Most floor lamps, including the Metropolis, ship without bulbs -- you will need to purchase an E26 base bulb separately to match your preferred brightness and color temperature.
- Does the Metropolis Floor Lamp ship free?
- Yes, LOOMLAN provides free shipping within the continental USA with no minimum order requirement.
- Is assembly required for the Metropolis Floor Lamp?
- The lamp requires minimal assembly, typically attaching the globe shade and securing the cord -- detailed instructions are included with shipment.
