There is a certain indignity in needing excellent task lighting and being forced into choosing something that looks as though it escaped from an examination room. This floor lamp takes the opposite approach, pairing bright, natural-looking illumination with antique brass, a cherrywood post, and the sort of traditional silhouette that settles comfortably beside a favorite chair.
The 55-watt daylight bulb produces a whiter light intended to improve contrast and color clarity for reading, sewing, crafting, and other close work, while the adjustable gooseneck directs it where it is needed. A four-way switch provides high, medium, and low settings, allowing the lamp to move easily from general illumination to more focused work without abandoning its interest in looking like furniture.
