Snake floor lamp

Count on an adjustable head and a tubular stem: the serpent street lamp adjusts from 133 to 184 cm on the flexible-arm model, and reaches 183.5 cm on the cylindrical-head model. It lights with warm white LED, between 2700 and 3500 K, with a dimmer, for the living room, bedroom and study.

What is a serpent street lamp and what light does it give?

The metal stem extends into a glass and plastic head that you turn by hand, like a snake lamp that you bend. The effect is that of a fine line in the room: the light falls on a book, a wall or the coffee table, never straight down from the ceiling.

Serpent street lamp and snake floor lamp: the same thing?

Yes, both words refer to a floor lamp with a tubular stem, often flexible near the head. The wavy silhouette gave it its name. To compare with other shapes, browse all our lighting.

What light does a warm white LED floor lamp give?

Between 2700 and 3500 K, the tint leans towards warm white: a rendering close to a bedside lamp, softer than a neutral white at 4000 K. The dimmer lets you lower the intensity in the evening without changing the colour. To explore the technology further, see our LED lighting for the home.

Where to place a serpent street lamp in the living room?

Place it next to the sofa or behind an armchair, head turned towards the coffee table or the wall. The stem stays narrow on the floor, and the adjustable height from 133 to 184 cm suits both a seat and a reading corner. Two finishes are available, black and silver.

Original living room floor lamp: along the sofa or in the corner?

Along the sofa, it serves as supplementary light for reading; in the corner, it lights the wall and visually enlarges the room. A living room floor lamp is chosen for that spot, not from the catalogue photo alone. For a living room with a strong style, see the modern living room floor lamp.

Can a design floor lamp replace a table lamp?

Yes for reading and atmosphere: an adjustable head and a dimmer do the work of two light sources. It does, however, take up floor space, unlike a cordless floor lamp placed on a piece of furniture. The Kaliso floor lamp with flexible arm illustrates this compromise.

Which floor lamp to choose for a bedroom or a child's room?

Look for a soft, directional light: warm white LED 2700-3500 K and a dimmer. Both models in the selection suit an adult bedroom as well as a child's room, by directing the head towards the book rather than the bed.

Original floor lamp: globe, gold, driftwood or serpent, how to choose?

The silhouette sets the mood before the technology: a globe gives a diffuse light, a driftwood base brings texture, a gold finish plays with reflections, a tube shape plays with line. This selection offers only tube shapes, in black or silver, with an adjustable head and a dimmer.

Gold floor lamp or black floor lamp: which finish for a living room?

Black fades into a light interior and underlines the geometry; gold becomes an object in its own right. If you are looking for a gold floor lamp, you need to look outside this family. The black finishes in our catalogue, however, remain in the spirit of the tube shape.

Globe floor lamp or serpent street lamp: what floor footprint?

Both fit in a corner, but a globe occupies a solid disc on the floor, whereas a tube slips against a piece of furniture. Compare the globe shapes with the wooden floor lamps if you are looking for a warm material rather than metal.

Halogen floor lamp or LED floor lamp: what does the technology change?

A halogen floor lamp heats up more and gives a yellower light. Both serpent street lamps in the selection are LED, at 8 W on the cylindrical-head model, in warm white 2700-3500 K: less heat near the sofa or the bed, and a dimmer to adjust the intensity.

Can a halogen floor lamp be replaced by an LED floor lamp?

Yes, without any work: same socket, same floor space. The gain is felt most near a seat, where the halogen source heats up while in use. For fine intensity adjustment, compare with a dimmable floor lamp.

LED floor lamp: what does 2700-3500 K mean?

It is the colour temperature: the lower the figure, the warmer and more orange the light; the higher it goes, the more neutral the white becomes. Between 2700 and 3500 K, you stay in an evening atmosphere, suited to a room for relaxing. The metal floor lamps in the house are all fitted with LED.

Flexible arm or cylindrical head: which serpent street lamp to choose?

The flexible arm adjusts in height from 133 to 184 cm and can be directed by hand, for a work surface or an armchair. The horizontal cylindrical head, in brushed silver steel, reaches 183.5 cm and suits a more composed, recessed, almost sculptural lighting.

Kaliso flexible arm: for what everyday use?

It changes position several times a day: tilted towards a keyboard in the morning, raised towards the wall in the evening. A desk floor lamp of this type avoids the supplementary lamp on the work surface.

Argentia cylindrical head: bedroom, study or living room?

Its fixed head gives a wide, low light, which makes it suited to a reading corner or a contemporary living room. See the Argentia model in brushed steel and the contemporary floor lamps to match it with the rest of the furniture.

How to install and maintain a serpent street lamp?

Place it on the floor near a socket, the cable is 180 cm long, adjust the height between 133 and 184 cm then lock the head. Clean the glass and metal with a soft cloth, without abrasive products. Both models are guaranteed for 2 years.

At what height should the head of a serpent street lamp be set?

For reading while seated, the head is placed slightly above the shoulder, tilted towards the page; to light a wall, raise the stem and turn the head towards the surface. A floor lamp is adjusted before being locked, not after.

How to clean the glass and metal of a floor lamp?

Unplug it, wipe the glass with a slightly damp microfibre cloth, then the metal stem. The IP20 rating indicates dry indoor use: avoid damp rooms. A slim tubular stem slips into a nook, a hallway or a spacious toilet, which is what you look for when searching for a toilet floor lamp. For a tight budget, see the affordable models and the glass models.

Serpent street lamp, serpent chandelier or serpentine ceiling light: what is the difference?

A floor lamp stands on the floor and can be moved; a chandelier and a ceiling light are fixed to the ceiling and light from above. The first provides adjustable supplementary light, without any work, and follows changes in layout; the other two require a fixed installation.

Pendant chandelier or floor lamp: which for a living room?

A chandelier lights the whole room from the centre, a floor lamp lights a zone. The two complement each other: keep the ceiling light for general lighting and add a low, mobile source. Find the range of floor lamps for this second role.

Serpentine ceiling light: same silhouette, different use

The curve is similar, the function changes: a serpentine ceiling light diffuses towards the floor from above, without a position dimmer. A design floor lamp remains the solution when you rent or refuse to drill.
