Discover arch lights and arch lamps

The arc light - the classic lighting solution

This arched type of floor lamp made its breakthrough in the 1960s when the two Castiglioni brothers developed their "Arco" arched lamp from the brand Flos made them famous. Since then, it has been hard to imagine life without the LED lights with arc and shade.

To a certain extent, your home always reflects a piece of your personality. Lamps and lights also reflect a certain character. Why not a modern, stylish arc lamp? It looks elegant, exclusive and sets beautifully shaped accents in your living space, such as in the Living room or Dining room. You can also use this luminaire to create fantastic light zones and thus provide more coziness, especially with an additional dimmer. Cozy evenings in the living room are guaranteed!

Basic ideas about arc lights

The idea behind the arched lamp arose from the desire to project light onto the dining table without having to use the power connection on the ceiling. The arched design of the lamp was developed to ensure that there is sufficient space around the table.

Nowadays, the arc lamp is not only used in the dining room, but also in many other living areas, such as above the living room table. It is particularly nice when the built-in light source has an integrated dimmer in the lampshade. This allows you to easily adjust the brightness of the lighting.

Structure of modern LED arc lamps

The classic arc lamp usually has a very long stem in the form of a high arch. To ensure stability, the base of the lamp is made of robust material such as marble.

Assembling an arc lamp is child's play and usually takes just a few steps. With the enclosed assembly instructions, it's quick and you can simply plug the lamp into the socket and enjoy the excellent light.

What should you look out for when buying an arc lamp?

Are you still undecided and looking for more information? Below we explain what you should know before buying an arc lamp. We will focus on three important points: the space, the projection and the style.

Measuring the space for the arc lamp

The first step is to take a tape measure and measure the free space for the arc floor lamp! Arc lamps often require more space than you might initially think.

Note the projection of the arc lamp

Where in the room do you want to use your arc lamp? If you want to use it to illuminate your dining table, you should consider a high arc lamp with a projection of approx. 2 meters. However, if you only want to illuminate a reading corner, a smaller lamp with a height and projection of approx. 50 cm is sufficient.
