Sphere Floor Lamp

The Sphere is a metal stem and base carrying two frosted white glass globes. The glass is what does the work: frosted rather than clear, it diffuses each bulb into a soft, even glow instead of a bright point, which is why the lamp reads gentle despite holding two bulbs.

The Sphere is not adjustable: the two globes are fixed in place. What makes it different is that it holds two bulbs, one in each frosted glass globe, so it gives more light than a single-shade lamp of its size while staying soft and glare-free. One foot switch on the cord turns both globes on together.

Not from the lamp: the foot switch is on/off and drives both globes at once. Each socket takes a standard A19 E26 bulb rated to 60 watts, so fitting two dimmable smart bulbs adds dimming and voice control.

No, and that is the design. The two frosted globes throw light in every direction to fill a corner softly rather than aiming at one task. The globes are fixed in place, so you aim the lamp by where you set the base.

Yes, and it takes two rather than one: both 9.5 watt, 800 lumen, 3000K LED bulbs are included, each equivalent to a 60 watt incandescent. They are standard A19 bulbs with E26 bases, so replacements are available anywhere.

Two: Black and Brass, both with frosted white glass globes. For similar looks, the Nola Floor Lamp has three globes on a twisting stem, and the Luna Floor Lamp has one larger globe at the top of the pole. The Sphere also comes as a table lamp, the Sphere Table Lamp.

The Sphere is contemporary, and the two-globe silhouette is meant to be seen, so it suits rooms where the lamp is part of the decor rather than hidden behind a chair: living rooms, bedrooms, and entryways. Two light sources at different heights also make it useful where one lamp has to light a whole corner.

The Sphere stands 65 inches tall, close to the height of the average man (about 5'9"), and is 11 inches wide and only 8 inches deep. That shallow depth means it sits close against a wall, and the 11 inch base is about the size of a dinner plate.

No, the Sphere is not oversized. It ships in a 20.1 by 13.4 by 8 inch carton at 13.6 lbs, with the glass globes packed separately and padded. One person can carry it, though the globes are the part to unpack carefully.

Assembly is required with no separate hardware pack: the stem sections thread into the base, the bulbs screw in, and the two glass globes screw on last. Fit the globes hand-tight only, and fit them after the lamp is standing. Expect it to take under 10 minutes.

A pair of dimmable smart A19 bulbs. The Sphere takes two bulbs on a single on/off switch, so smart bulbs are what turn it from one brightness into a lamp you can set low for an evening, and they can be dimmed together from one app.

The Sphere is covered by a 5 year warranty and is UL Listed, with US based customer service.
