As versatile as it is attractive, Brightech's Hudson Pendant Floor Lamp pairs effectively with a variety of decorating styles: the lamp looks equally "at home" amid contemporary, mid-century modern, or industrial-influenced abodes. Its slender, glistening stem rises to a cantilevered arm that displays a circular, open-top drum shade. When you move the adjustable pendant arm, the shaded light moves, too, letting you re-cast where the soft, luminous light falls. The Hudson's base can nestle within a corner, yet the pendant design brings the light out towards the middle of a room.

The stem's sleek finish (available in Oil-Rubbed Bronze or Classic Black) creates a glossy contrast to the textured fabric shade. A neutral linen hue that turns beige/burlap once illumined, the shade gives off a relaxing warm glow. The Hudson has the profile of an expensive designer lamp, yet costs substantially less. Because of the length of the adjustable arm, the lamp's base should be set approximately 2 to 3 feet away from a sofa. Loosen the knob at the top of the stem to raise the pendant arm higher or lower, then tighten the knob to anchor the shade in place. Voila!

The Hudson Floor Lamp includes Brightech's energy-saving, cool-to-the-touch LightPro LED bulb that will fit into the standard E26 medium base socket. Drawing a mere 9.5 watts, the long-lasting LED has every advantage over short-lived incandescent bulbs. LED won't fizzle and burnout, and it never makes a room uncomfortably warm. Best of all, LED doesn't guzzle power; using LED reduces your electricity bill over time. LightPro has 800 Lumens, a color temperature of 3,000 Kelvin, and 45,000 hours of soft, calming light.

Easy to assemble within a half-hour, the Hudson stands 70 inches in height. The drum shade measures 8 inches tall by 16 inches wide. The heavily weighted base makes tipping over unlikely. Plug into 110-120V outlets only.
