The Cholla FL is a 1,550mm sculptural LED floor lamp in nickel 24W giving 1,736lm at 4000K, CRI above 80.

It plugs into a power point. Our page said itmust be installed by a licensed electrician. It has2 metres of flex and runs at low voltage internally unpackit and plug it in. Removed.

Read this before you buy it: 1,736 lumens, 4000K, andno dimming. Those three facts together make the Cholla avery different lamp from most floor lamps, and nothing said so.

• 1,736lm is three times what a typical floor lamp in thisrange gives the Sisby gives 575. This is a room light, not a corner glow.
• 4000K is neutral white, not warm. It is the colour of akitchen or an office, not a living room. Most floor lamps here are3000K.
• It is not dimmable, so it is on or off at full.

That is excellent in a study, a home office, a craft or sewing area, or areading corner you actually work in. It is wrong beside a sofa in theevening. Ask us and we will point you at a warm dimmable alternative if that is whatyou want.

The sculptural form a wave with vertical ridges

The Cholla’s body is a wave-like silhouette with vertical textured ridges runningup it. Those ridges are not decoration alone: they catch and break the light alongthe lamp’s own surface, so the fitting reads as a lit object with depth rather than aplain column. On a gloss nickel finish, which is what this is, that texture is whatstops it reading as a chrome pole.

1.55 metres tall, on a 190mm base

1,550mm high with a 190mm base asmall footprint, which is what lets it slip beside a desk or a chair without takingfloor space.

No weight is recorded anywhere. On a1.55-metre lamp with a 190mm base, the weight is the stability, andthe figure is in no source. Ask us before putting it somewhere a child, a dog or a chair leggoes past.

72 lumens per watt efficient for a decorative lamp

24W for 1,736lm. That is well above most decorative fittings in thiscatalogue, which sit between 40 and 55, and it is because the Cholladoes not diffuse its output through fabric or tinted glass. You are getting aworking amount of light for a floor lamp’s power draw.

The LED is integrated and included nothing to buy,nothing to replace, and equally nothing to change: the 4000K is fixed. It isIP20 indoor and dry locations only.

Where it works

• Studies, home offices and craft or sewing areas 4000K and 1,736lm.
• Reading corners you actually work in.
• Beside a desk, where the 190mm base fits.
• Not beside a sofa in the evening bright, neutral, and not dimmable.
• Ask us for the weight before a high-traffic spot.

Questions

Do I need an electrician?

No. It has 2 metres of flex and runs at low voltage internally unpack it and plug it in. Our page said otherwise, which was wrong.

Is it suitable for a living room?

Probably not in the evening. At 1,736lm, 4000K and no dimming it is bright, neutral-white and on-or-off the colour of a kitchen or an office. It is excellent in a study, home office, craft area or a reading corner you actually work in. Ask us and we will point you at a warm dimmable alternative.

How bright is it compared to other floor lamps?

About three times. The Sisby floor lamp in this range gives 575lm; the Cholla gives 1,736. This is a room light, not a corner glow.

Can I dim it or change the colour?

Neither the LED is integrated and included, fixed at 4000K, with nothing to buy and nothing to change.

Is it stable?

No weight is recorded anywhere, and on a 1.55-metre lamp with a 190mm base the weight is the stability. Ask us before putting it somewhere a child, a dog or a chair leg goes past.

What do the ridges do?

They catch and break the light along the lamps own surface, so it reads as a lit object with depth rather than a plain column. On a gloss nickel finish that texture is what stops it reading as a chrome pole.

Is it efficient?

Yes 72lm/W, well above most decorative fittings here, which sit between 40 and 55. It does not diffuse its output through fabric or tinted glass.
