Do you remember when it was reported in the news that the manufacture of ‘normal’ incandescent bulbs was to be terminated? There was a stampede of frenzied shoppers at DIY outlets stockpiling 60 & 100 watters as if Armageddon had arrived!
LED (or light-emitting diode) lighting was declared the future, and few wanted to be part of it. Well, the panic has died down and the future is here. LED bulbs may be more expensive than the old-fashioned ones, but they have a much longer lifespan, use 90% less energy, are more compact and ‘have fewer environmental concerns linked to their disposal’. Well worth the initial outlay.
There’s an ever-growing range of attractive LED floor lamps available on the market – perfect for armchair reading or a spot of knitting, crochet or – in my case – button replacement. Here are three of our favourites that we’ve found.
- Nexus 142cm floor lamp
- LED arc lamp Florestan with built-in dimmer
- Flos Captain Flint LED floor lamp, brass
