Some of the most popular lamps today are the arc floor lamps. But there is some confusion of what exactly constitutes an arc floor lamp and what is merely just a lamp. Basically a lamp is just something that is straight, that’s to say, it sticks straight up. And arc floor lamp on the other hand, contains (or is made up of) a wide sweeping arc that is completely distinctive.
They come in all shapes and sizes, from ultra modern to traditional and just about everything in between and price ranges vary widely as well. And this web page I’m going to discuss some different styles as well as bring you through a list of price ranges so you know exactly what you can expect to pay and so that you don’t overpay which is very important indeed!
The first lamp that I would like to talk about today is the modern arc style satin steel floor lamp with marble base. The reason that I am singling out this particular model (which is manufactured by Visiondecor Furniture by the way) is because it represents a fairly consistent swath of modern styles which gives you a pretty good example of what the genre has to offer.
The specific lamp cost around $170 and is 66 inches long by 16 inches wide and 87 inches high. One word comes to mind when I think of this model and that word is “sleek”. It feels modern in every sense of the word. Yes it has a marble base, but I wouldn’t have known that unless I was told because it doesn’t seem like marble at least not in my mind. When I hear marble I think traditional, and this lamp is anything but! The arc of this lamp is sweeping and long which allows you to place the lamp anywhere and it will reach where you need it to reach.
The Next Arc Lamp that I want to discuss is the Adesso Luna a collection, lunar arc lamp with satin steel finish item number254334622FL-P. This lamp would also be described as ultramodern but of a slightly different sort as the lamp mentioned above. This lamp seems more of an art piece and that’s really the other end of the spectrum when it comes to modern arc lamps… artsy. This lamp has five bulbs, each at the end of their own sweeping arc which gives the impression of a swaying tree with several branches possibly. It is comparably priced at around $350 which is a pretty good price for such a beautiful lamp. The bulbs are housed in white milk glass shades, and each arc adjusts horizontally which makes this lamp incredibly functional as well as beautiful.
What price should you expect to pay? prices for arc floor lamps range quite broadly. You can expect to pay more for one of these kinds of lamps then you would a normal lamp simply because these lamps are much larger, they are made up of more material and for that reason alone they are going to cost more. But not just that, since they’re bigger and sort of sweeping in nature, they have the look of pieces of art to them. Any time something looks artsy, you can expect to pay more for it and these are no exception. You can find incredibly cheap lamps and the $79-$89 range. But expect, more realistically, to pay anywhere from $150 up to $1,000 depending on the name brand that you’re interested in.
