Halogen Floor Lamp : Pick of the Best

Floor lamps have always been useful. They are independent lighting units and this makes them extremely portable. You can move them and plug them in anywhere and get light exactly where you need it. But why choose a halogen floor lamp over one with a standard incandescent bulb?

Halogen bulbs emit a bright white light which illuminates your room better than a standard light bulb. They use less energy to create that brightness and the bulbs last longer too. The best thing of all, however, is that these bulbs are used in the most beautiful contemporary light fixtures – a halogen lamp generally means that the lamp has been particularly designed for a modern living space. You can see that very well from the examples below. Some halogen floor lamps are great to situate by a chair where you read or sew as they give off a directional light allowing you to see better than just by using the ambient light of the room. Others are better for general room illumination. This depends on the particular type of halogen lamps and lamp shades used.

Torchiere Halogen Floor Lamp

One of the most popular type of floor lamps is the torchiere lamp. This has a solid stable base and a long straight stem ending in a bowl shaped shade at the top which contains the halogen bulb or bulbs. The bowl may be made of metal or glass but, whatever the material used, it directs the light upwards creating a wash of light over the walls and/or the ceiling. This is great for providing extra general light in the room as well as illuminating artwork on the walls just above it.

Gooseneck Halogen Floor Lamp

This type of lamp has one or more “arms” each ending in a lamp shade and bulb. In this type of lamp the arms can be moved to point in various directions so that they cast light on whatever you are doing. It is this type of light which is great for reading or other close work. If the lamp has more than one arm, it is great for using between two seats as the light can be pointed wherever each sitter requires independently!

Combination Floor Lamps

In the examples below you will see a torchiere floor lamp with a gooseneck type reading lamp attached. This dual purpose lamp would be useful in many situations in your home as it could be used for both general lighting and as a reading lamp.

Any Reasons Not to Use Halogen Floor Lamps?

The bulbs tend to get very hot and a light on a long stem is less stable than some others such as a tripod floor lamp so it may be best to use one only where you can be sure that it will not get knocked over by children and pets. Having said that the good quality ones have a heavy base and are stable enough in most situations. Perhaps, avoid them for kids rooms, however, in case they start reaching out to touch the bulb and get a nasty fright or even a burn. Due to the heat factor, avoid placing a halogen floor lamp where fabric could catch fire from the hot bulb. This would take a lot to do, but it is best not to tempt fate.

Black Chandelier Lighting

Black chandelier lighting is very much in vogue and if you are looking for a black chandelier you will see a great selection below which shows the variety of light fixtures you could choose for your home. If you are not sure what you need here is a brief guide to choosing black chandeliers.

Get the Right Size

Good interior design is often a case of getting the proportions right. It is no good buying a huge 3-tier 18 light black wrought iron chandelier if you live in a country cottage with low ceilings. Apart from the practical issue of hitting your head on your light fixture as you go past, it will look totally out of place. A modest 3-light chandelier hugging the ceiling would work much better.

One rule of thumb as far as this goes is to measure the height and width of the room in feet and add them together and then chandelier depth should be no more than that in inches. You may ignore this for a chandelier which hangs over a dining table, however, as in this case it is fine for your light to hang a little lower. In that case, make sure that the bottom of the light is at least 32 inches above the table. This is so that the light illuminates the table nicely but does not shine in the eyes of those sitting at the table.

So far we have been really thinking about chandeliers which are too big, but too small can also look ridiculous. A tiny black crystal chandelier in a huge loft apartment will look silly. This is where you need a big installation so that it can have some impact on the space.

Get the Right Style

Match the style of your chandelier not only to your personal taste but also to the style of the room. A rustic black iron chandelier is great in a country home but would look out of place in a romantic bedroom. A mini black crystal chandelier may look just right in a contemporary room decorated using a black and white color scheme but would not suit a traditional wooden kitchen. A heavy black chandelier is not right for every room. Think about it before you buy one, no matter how much you love the light!

Right for Your Budget

Black chandelier prices vary a great deal depending on the size (number of lights), the brand, the materials and the design. If you want a large Quoizel chandelier, for example, expect to pay more than for a generic discount store mini chandelier. If you have a limited budget, look for a 3-light iron chandelier or a mini black glass chandelier, which has the look of crystal rather than a genuine crystal chandelier. The best way to get an idea of prices is to browse online for a bit to get an idea of the current selling prices and then set your budget accordingly. Just be aware, when you are buying for one of the main rooms in your home, it is worth paying a bit more your chandelier lighting to have the required elegant, classy look. Your light may well become a focal point for the room and the quality needs to live up to that task.

White into Black?

If you are on a very limited budget and have a metal or white chandelier already but would like a black one, think about adding black chandelier lamp shades to change the look of your light at low cost. Alternatively you could keep the existing lamp shades and spray paint the fixture (carefully covering up any parts which should not be painted) with black paint and change any crystals to black ones for a new look.
