floor lamps

Tall room illuminators

Floor lamps are freestanding light fixtures tall enough to illuminate a room from floor level, typically with a weighted base and a shade at the top.

Unlike table lamps, they don't require furniture to support them: She added a floor lamp to brighten the reading corner.

The term is usually plural because people discuss them as a category of lighting.
