Adesso Gooseneck Floor Lamp Options

Tony — Sun, 08 Aug 2010 03:00:23 +0000

Some of the most interesting choices for gooseneck floor lamps I have seen are those made by Adesso. They are not the cheapest lamps available, but if you are looking for mood lighting that is also functional you may be interested in some of their lamps. Gooseneck floor lamps can be used to not only provide light, but also to highlight objects in a room or add ambiance lighting to the overall room, especially the more decorative types of lamps.

A simple gooseneck floor lamp with a teardrop shaped shade will cost anywhere from around $100 on up, depending on the size of the lamp. They have a great selection of LED lamps as well as those using conventional light bulbs. If you want something that is a little more unusual, the Adesso Pompom lamp with its six adjustable goosenecks may be of interest. Each of the six necks end with a small pompom lamp shade that uses a 25w bulb. With a handy foot step switch, it is very easy to turn on and off and it really does add a unique touch to a room. In a slightly different style, the Adesso Times Square floor lamp has five larger shades attached to the top of the pole, each with the ability to twist and turn any direction.

For something slightly different, the Adesso Combo floor lamp has a glass shade on the top and an attached gooseneck reading lamp that juts off the side of the main pole. This is great to set beside a reading chair in a living room. The additional lighting provided by the attached gooseneck lamp is perfect for when you want to sit and relax in the living room and read.

They also have a selection of gooseneck fluorescent floor lamps. This is quite a bit brighter than many of their other floor lamps, ideal for your home office or even your bedroom, placed beside your writing desk.

While Adesso floor lamps may be a little more expensive than some other brands, they do provide quality workmanship and you can usually rest assured that the base of the lamp is weighty enough to provide stability for the lamp. Some other cheaper, or no-name brand lamps can actually be fairly unstable to the point that if you try to stretch the gooseneck out or down too far the entire lamp is in danger of tilting over.

Add a New Dimension to Your Décor with LED GU-10 Lighting

Decorators have long used many aspects of lighting to augment the “look” of a room. Decorative lamps and fixtures are one such choice. Spotlighting is another decorator favorite, both indoors to call attention to artwork and other focal points in a room, and outdoors to add nighttime drama and interest to landscaping.

LED GU-10 lamps make these traditional uses safer, more convenient, and more effective. LED light is more intense and more “focused”, making it an ideal choice for spotlighting. Longer-lasting bulbs are less fragile, and don’t need to be changed as often. They burn cooler, and don’t break as easily. The GU10 base 50 watt replacement bulb doesn’t emit ultraviolet light, so it won’t damage or alter the colors of spotlighted artwork.

But one of the most exciting possibilities is the RGB GU10 LED 5w lamp. This color-changing lamp will change to 16 different colors with a remote control. You can use the remote control to choose a single color or level of brightness. Or you can choose from four different transition effects: long pause on each color, short pause on each color, slow fade between colors, fast fade between colors.) The remote control can also be used to turn the lamp on and off.

Choose a strobe effect to add punch to parties. Add cool color ambiance or mood lighting for those quiet evenings at home. While this bulb is recommended for indoor use in “open air” fixtures, it can be used outdoors in waterproof fixtures. Professional lighting technicians have long been aware of the power of the right lighting color nuances to make actresses look their best. Now you have the advantage of being able to alter the nuances in your own home.

Whether you’re looking for romance, drama, or a bit of pizzazz, the color-changing RGB lamp outlined above can add a whole new dimension to your décor and to your personal creativity.
