Is the Globe Electric 67135 Floor Lamp worth it?

A two-light floor lamp for more flexible desk and room lighting

The Globe Electric 67135 72" Floor Lamp earns its space through one practical choice: it combines an upward torchiere with a separate adjustable reading light. That gives you broad ambient light and a second beam you can point toward a book, chair or work area without adding another floor lamp.

The torchiere uses a three-way switch for low, medium and high settings, while the reading light has its own on/off switch and adjustable gooseneck. The effect is simple: you can keep the room softly lit, increase the general brightness, or use the directed light on its own. Separate controls mean the lamp can match different parts of your day without moving furniture or reaching for a second cord.

Its freestanding, 72-inch design is suited to indoor placement in a home office, bedroom or living room. The black metal and plastic construction, white shade and slim 10-by-10-inch footprint keep the profile straightforward. The five-foot cord gives you placement flexibility, though you will still need a nearby outlet.

Both lights use E26 medium-base bulbs, sold separately. The torchiere requires a 150W bulb and the reading light a 40W bulb, with LED, incandescent and halogen compatibility listed by the maker.
