standard lamp

Tall room illuminator

A standard lamp is a floor lamp—a tall lamp that stands on the floor rather than sitting on a table.

The term is primarily British; Americans say floor lamp.

The "standard" refers to the upright pole or support: A standard lamp stood in the corner of the sitting room.
