The arch lamp - the classic under the lighting
This arched type of floor lamp found its breakthrough in the 1960s when the two brothers Castiglioni made their arch lamp "Arco" known from the Flos brand. Since then, the LED lights with a bow and screen have been indispensable.
In a way, your home always reflects a piece of your personality. Lamps and lights also reflect a certain character. So why not a modern, stylish arch lamp? It looks elegant, exclusive and sets elegant accents in your living room, such as in the living room or dining room. You can also create grandiose lighting zones with this lamp and thus ensure more cosiness, especially with an additional dimmer. So cozy evenings in the living room are guaranteed!
Basic idea for arch lights
The idea behind the arch lamp came from the desire to project light onto the dining table without having to use the power connection on the ceiling. So that there is enough space around the table, the arched design of the light was developed.
Nowadays the arch lamp is used not only 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 lamp has integrated a dimmer in the lampshade. So you can easily adapt the brightness of the lighting.

Construction of modern LED arch lamps
The classic arch lamp usually has a very long link in the form of a high arc. To ensure a stable stand, the foot of the lamp is often made of robust material such as marble.
The structure of an arc lamp is child's play and usually takes place in just a few steps. With the enclosed assembly instructions, it is quick, and you can simply put the lamp in the socket and enjoy excellent light.
What should you pay attention to when buying an arch lamp?
Are you still undecided and looking for more information? In the following we explain what you should know before buying an arch lamp. We focus primarily on three important points: the space, the load and the style.
Measure space for the arch lamp
As a first step, grab the free space for the arch lamp! Arch lamps often need more space than you initially think.
Observe the arch lamp.
Where do you want to use your arch lamp in the room? If you want to illuminate your dining table, you should consider a high arch lamp with a load of approx. 2 meters. However, if you only want to illuminate a reading corner, a smaller lamp with a height of approx. 50 cm is sufficient.
