Ever since Thomas Edison had his bright idea, lighting has meant one thing almost 99.9 percent of the time: soft white light. For decades, our parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents never complained because it was a heck of a lot better than darkness. But in the oh-so-jaded present, soft white light is, well, played out.
Instead, adventurous decorators can drop a kaleidoscope of 16 million colors right into their homes. That's the wonder of the Lamp Depot Minimalist LED Spiral Floor Lamp, which can transform virtually any space into something entirely different almost immediately.
So how does that work? Well, at first glance, you'd be forgiven if this lamp appears a little underwhelming. At a non-descript four feet high, it kind of looks like a strongman just picked up a flagpole and twisted it. Of course, once it's plugged in, the appeal becomes obvious as this lamp bursts into life, using LEDs to spray the room with a geyser of shifting, pulsing, changing, and constantly invigorating light.
If set this lamp up in a library or an accountant's office, you can play it safe with a warm, soft white light. But for the rest of us, it's options abound, with the lamp capable of producing 16 million different colors while utilizing 358 different lighting effects. Users can program a slow, methodical light spin or ramp it up into a full-spectrum frenzy with a light show that'd be right at home in a European nightclub.
Despite all those options and power, this lamp is also ridiculously efficient, using 90 percent less power than incandescent or halogen lamps. So bathe a room in a soothing green to chill the mood, fire up a fierce red to ramp up the drama of your space, or cycle through one of the cool multi-colored patterns and lighting effects to build the right vibe you need for your room.
Regularly $199, the Lamp Depot Minimalist LED Spiral Floor Lamp is now on sale at more than half off the retail price, down to just $89.99.
