Three amber glass shades hang at staggered heights from the iron post of this 64.5-inch lamp, spreading warm pools of light instead of one bright circle. Each shade measures 4 by 6 inches and shields the bulb so the glare stays off your eyes. A foot switch sits on the cord, so the light goes on without bending down or reaching behind a sofa. The heavy iron base is 9.5 inches across and holds the post steady on carpet or wood. A 5.9-foot cord gives room to place it away from the wall. Each E26 socket takes a bulb up to 60W, sold separately, and filament-style bulbs suit the retro frame.
