Quatrefoil Cutout Floor Lamp 68 Inch, 3 Light Black

Why we picked it

This is the most completely specified floor lamp listing we have come across. Base weight, cord length, colour temperature, lumen output per bulb, wattage and bulb lifespan are all published. Nothing important is left for you to guess at, which is unusual enough to be worth saying.

The quatrefoil cutout shade sits between the two approaches we have seen elsewhere. An open metal cage leaves the bulb fully visible, so it casts strong patterns but risks glare at seated height. A woven or fabric shade diffuses everything, softening light but losing the pattern.

A cutout shade is solid metal with shapes punched through it. Light escapes in defined beams through each cutout and is blocked everywhere else, so you get sharp architectural shadows on nearby walls while the bulb itself stays largely hidden behind solid material. That is a genuinely different effect: patterned light without a bare filament in your sightline.

The trade is that a solid shade throws less overall light into the room than an open cage, since much of it is blocked. With 2400 lumens available across three heads that is not a practical problem, but it does mean more of the output goes into pattern and less into general illumination.

The light specification is right for a living space. 2700K is properly warm, and three 800 lumen bulbs give 2400 total, matching the better tree lamps in this category. The stepless rotary dimmer runs continuously from zero to full rather than stepping through fixed levels, and being mechanical it works with any dimmable bulb, smart ones included.

The 6.7 foot cord is worth having stated. Floor lamps end up in corners, and corners are often the furthest point in a room from a socket. Knowing the cord reaches before you order saves either an extension lead or a compromise on placement.

Now the honest limitation: at 7.0 pounds this is the lightest base of the floor lamps we have covered. For comparison, one 70 inch lamp publishes 10.7 pounds and an 80 inch model 11 pounds, both on similar or smaller footprints.

Seven pounds under 68 inches of lamp is adequate on a hard floor in a quiet corner. It is less reassuring in a busy room with children or a large dog, and worth weighing against the listing’s claim that it prevents tipping. Placed behind a sofa or in a protected corner, it is fine.
