This Living Room Needs Ambiance! This Living Room Needs Torchiere Lamps!

If creating ambiance in your living room is a goal of yours, buy a couple torchiere lamps. The way the light flows from the top of the lamp and interacts with your ceiling creates an dramatic statement that's second to none.

As a lighting source for your living room, they have many advantages:

Cost Savings - You can light your whole living room without installing lighting because of the wide area they cover

Space Savings - Place a torchiere lamp in any corner, they're compact and make a great accent for chairs and tables

Quality of Light - The unique up-lighting aspect of these lights brightens the entire room, creating an inspiring atmosphere

Versatility - Torchieres work with all styles of decor and can be easily complimented with mirrors, lighter wall colors, or skylights

Concerned about safety with your torchiere. Don't be. Much has changed since these lamps first came out in 1983.

Safe Use of Torchieres

There are a couple of different kinds of torchiere lamps. The earliest torchieres used halogen lamps that burned at over 1200 degrees. These are still in use today and they do pose a risk to your home if not used safely.

Energy Star torchieres are now available that burn much cooler while still providing a great quality of light. These models have bulbs that last five times longer than halogen lamps. The Energy Star models also may offer dimming and a full range of light. They're also warrantied, in most cases.

In our to keep you and your family safe when using torchieres, here are Underwriters Laboratory's safety guidelines for their use... click here.
