accent floor lamp

Common shade shapes include drum and cylinder (diffusing) as well as cone, dome, and bowl styles (more directional). Shoppers can expect a mix of diffusing and directional options across models.

Switch types include turn-knob/rotary switches, pull-chain switches, push-button or foot switches, and inline cord or pole-mounted switches. On/off and multi-level controls vary by model.

Most lamps in this set have a single light socket (one bulb) rather than multiple sockets.

Most listings note that bulbs are not included, although at least one lamp explicitly includes an LED bulb with purchase.

Several lamps show ETL safety listings, and at least one listing shows a UL listing.

Cable lengths commonly fall in the 5–7 foot range. Cord coverings are usually plastic, with a few models using fabric-covered cords.

Brightness controls vary by model: some lamps offer 3-way settings (low/medium/high), others have a single on/off setting, and some explicitly list full-range dimmable controls.
