MOBY Extra Large Beige Linen Arc Floor Lamp for Living Room & Sofa

Overhead light without a ceiling fixture. The arm reaches out from a base on the floor and carries the shade up and over a sofa, a bed or a reading chair, so the light comes down on you from above instead of sideways from a side table. People use them in rentals where they can't wire a pendant, in rooms with no ceiling box in the right place, and over sectionals that sit too far from a wall for a normal lamp to be useful.

It's telescopic, so it slides in and out rather than being a fixed curve. You extend it to the reach and height you want and it holds there. That means you set the lamp to your room rather than having to place the furniture around a shape that doesn't move. Fully extended it reaches 74.80 inches out and 96.46 inches up.

More than people expect, so measure first. At full extension the shade sits about six feet away from the base, which means the base stands behind or beside the sofa while the light lands over the middle of it. You also need ceiling height: fully up it's 96.46 inches, just over eight feet, so on a standard 8-foot ceiling you'll be running it shorter than maximum. Retracted it takes far less room, but the reach is the point of the lamp.

No, and the weight is why. The base is metal and the whole lamp is 15.4 kg, which is heavy for a floor lamp and deliberately so, because that's what holds a reach like this steady. It's a substantial object to move around, so decide where it lives before you assemble it. As with any floor lamp, keep the base out of a walkway.

96.46 inches (2450 mm) at full height, reaching 74.80 inches (1900 mm) horizontally, with a shade 23.62 inches (600 mm) across. Both the height and the reach adjust down from there. It weighs 15.4 kg.

Natural linen in a soft beige, on a black metal frame. At 23.62 inches across it's a large shade, which is what lets it cover a whole seating area rather than one chair. The linen diffuses the light so what lands below is soft rather than a spotlight, and the weave is visible up close. Made in Poland by TK Lighting.

It ships flat and you put it together. The base goes together first, then the arm, then the shade and a bulb. Instructions are in the box. It's 15.4 kg, so assemble it where it's going to stand rather than building it and then carrying it across the room. No wiring involved, it plugs into a standard outlet.

One E26 bulb, not included, so you can pick your own brightness and colour temperature. Max 15W LED, and that's the LED rating, not the light output. A 15W LED puts out roughly the same light as a 100W incandescent, which is right for lighting a full seating area from above. For warm evening light look for 2700K.

Yes, with a dimmable smart bulb or a plug-in dimmer. There's no integrated LED or built-in dimmer, which means you're not locked into one system and can swap bulbs whenever you want.

A dry microfibre cloth handles dust, or the brush attachment on a vacuum set low. Natural linen marks easily, so keep water off it. For a mark, dab with a barely damp cloth and let it air dry rather than scrubbing. No cleaning sprays.

No, it's rated for dry locations only. Linen and damp don't mix, so keep it indoors and away from bathrooms with a shower or tub.

Yes. cUL listed for both Canada and the US. Made in Poland by TK Lighting, a European manufacturer, not a rebranded import.
