Know before you buy
The lamp features a highly flexible neck that allows you to tilt and rotate the shade to direct light exactly where you need it. This makes it particularly effective for task lighting in reading nooks or home offices.
The Cobra Floor Lamp uses a single 40W E12 bulb. We recommend using an LED equivalent if you prefer a cooler temperature or lower energy consumption.
No, the height is fixed. The lamp stands between 48 and 66 inches tall depending on the angle of the neck, so ensure you have enough clearance for your specific space.
Yes, the powder-coated steel is durable and resistant to minor scratches. You can keep it looking new by simply wiping it down with a soft, dry cloth; avoid using harsh chemical cleaners.
Because it is a task-oriented lamp with a focused beam, it is best used as an accent or reading light rather than to illuminate an entire room. It works best when paired with overhead lighting or other ambient sources.
