Detroit Steel Floor Lamp with Reading Light and Dimmer, 2 Lights, 180 cm

Tall bowl and reading arm in steel-finish metal

The Detroit follows the twin floor lamp principle: two parallel steel-finish metal rods rise from a round base to a wide bowl open at the top. Halfway up, a curved arm carries a small conical reflector for reading. A control box is fixed to the stem, at hand height.

Indirect lighting and reading light

Each light source takes a GU10 bulb of up to 35 W, not included. The control is a dimmer: the specification lists it as variable intensity, so choose dimmable GU10 LED bulbs. The bowl lights the ceiling for soft, diffused light throughout the living room; the spot is for reading. Choose 2700 K LED bulbs for the bowl. IP20: for dry rooms only. Class I: plug it into an earthed socket.

Where to place it

The floor lamp has a footprint of 25.5 cm by 25.5 cm and weighs 6.5 kg. Its 200 cm cable gives you room to install it in a corner, behind an armchair or next to a sofa, with the reading arm on the seating side. At 180 cm tall, the bowl sits above eye level and does not obstruct the view.
