The arc lamp - the classic among lighting
This arched type of floor lamp had its breakthrough in the 1960s, when the two Castiglioni brothers made their "Arco" arc lamp known for the Flos brand. Since then, LED lights with arches and shades have become indispensable.
Your home always reflects a part of your personality in a certain way. Lamps and lights also reflect a certain character. So why not a modern, stylish arc lamp? It looks elegant, exclusive and sets stylish accents in your living space, such as the living room or dining room. You can also use this lamp to create magnificent light zones and thus ensure more comfort, especially with an additional dimmer. This guarantees cozy evenings in the living room!
Basic idea of arc lamps
The idea behind the arc lamp arose from the desire to project light onto the dining table without having to use the power connection on the ceiling. The arc-shaped design of the lamp was developed to ensure that there was enough space around the table.
Nowadays, arc lamps are 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 light source has a dimmer integrated into the lampshade. This allows you to easily adjust the brightness of the lighting.

Construction of modern LED arc lamps
The classic arc lamp usually has a very long rod in the shape of a high arch. To ensure stability, the base of the lamp is often made of robust material such as marble.
Setting up an arc lamp is child's play and usually only takes a few steps. The included assembly instructions make it quick and easy, and you can then simply plug the lamp into the socket and enjoy excellent light.
What should you pay attention to 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: space, projection and style.
Measure space for the arc lamp
As a first step, grab a tape measure and measure the free space for the arc floor lamp! Arc lamps often require more space than you initially think.
Pay attention to 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 light your dining table, you should consider a tall arc lamp with a projection of around 2 meters. However, if you only want to light a reading corner, a smaller lamp with a height and projection of around 50 cm is sufficient.
