floor lamp

Post by Angus »

Over the years I notice that I need more and more good lighting to be able to sew by hand, which I like so much. I'm going to buy a floor lamp for installation next to the sofa. I would like something bright enough to help with my poor eyesight. I am shocked by all the choices and hope that you, good ladies, will have some experience to help me narrow down my choices. I think I want 24 watts or even more. Thank you in advance.

How are going to power this floor lamp? Using 110 vac power while plugged into shoreline power or by running your generator? A 24 watt normal incandescent type lamp will not be bright enough to improve your lighting much. A floor lamp with a 24 watt or higher LED type bulb would be much brighter.

If you are close to an IKEA store try them. They have several excellent choices for floor lamps. I recently purchased this one https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/nymane-flo ... -60336783/ to use in my home it has a dimmer so that the light can be adjusted to your needs. It only works on 110 V and you would have to lay it down on the floor while traveling. Price is reasonable.
