- Does the arc reach over a sofa?
- Yes. The curved arm is designed to hang the shade over a seat, so light falls on a sofa or chair rather than straight down. Check the arc's reach against your seating depth before buying.
- Can I aim the light?
- The base adjusts side to side, so you can swing the shade between a reading position and the rest of the room. The shade itself stays fixed on the arm.
- Is the fabric shade good for reading?
- It gives a soft, diffuse light that suits ambience better than close reading. For tasks like reading small print, pair it with a brighter task lamp.
- What bulb does it take?
- It uses a standard screw-base bulb, and the shade fits a single bulb. A warm-white LED keeps the fabric from looking harsh.
- Where should I put it?
- Place the base beside or behind a sofa and arc the shade over the seating. Leave clearance so the arm is not bumped, and keep the base on level floor.
- Does it work on carpet?
- Yes, but a heavy carpet can make the base less steady. Set it on a firm, level spot and check that the lamp does not wobble before extending the arc.
