Is this floor lamp ideal to place in the corner between the back of a sectional and the wall?

Yes. That is exactly how mine is set up.... Be prepared for lots of compliments!

Yes, the base is heavy and not too high so you can slide it under the sectional without problem.

It is perfect lighting for a sectional, I have mine in the corner part of my Ivory leather section and looks great. I receive many compliments on the light.

It will look good if you have a 15"x19"x2.5" clearance for the base of the lamp.

Just bought this lamp recently... Received raving reviews from family and friends... Works great... It was perfect for the back of our sectional... Almost like it always belonged there.... Great buy! Highly recommended!!

Technically, you don't have to put it in a corner. It definitely makes the most of your space by putting it there, but I suppose it wouldn't look too bad on a flat wall.

You mean without screwing it down? Yes, I believe it will sit on it's base. I'll say that you may not be able to swivel the light too far off center without tipping it over. However, if you need the light to be portable, and you want it to sit upright, you could cut out a piece of wood and attach the light to that.

It is designed for a corner as the back edges are angled. You could get away with it on a straight wall depending on what decorative items you might place on it.

Would work, depending on size of wall (small) and general level of other lighting (low). For a bigger wall, I would suggest one of the larger Phillips models. Nice lamp, small footprint, great value, but not super-bright.

Twiggy, I am sorry I can't directly answer that question as I installed the lamp on an existing mount. I removed the old fixture and replaced it with this one as a front porch light. Our house has a typical stucco textured wall. Wish I could put a link to their manual but their website (http://designersedge.com) is not there yet :o). But all in all, I don't see why you couldn't install this on horizontal lap siding as long the area this needs to installed on, is flat. There's not much "cavity" / space at the back of the unit so the wall opening would have to have space for the junction wires etc. Sorry couldn't help more. But I love the light. It's basically trouble-free (for the lazy amongst us!). You never have to turn it on or off! The light is really bright white though it "stands out" odd in my community - all the other houses have those yellowish dull lights that are there more for name sake than for lighting! Best, Kenny

My lamps have holes at the base of the lamps, on the side so that the lamp is not resting on the cord. If you have a jar with a hole drilled into the side, it seems that would be ok. What you don't want is for the lamp to be wobbly due to a cord running under the base with no hole or no groove. Can you insert the cord and then set the lamp onto a flat surface to check for stability?

You have to be very carefull when you installed the lamp on the wall to prevent the sides from falling off. Once installed, it should be secured enough. Unfortunately, one of the sides of my lamp was already broken when the order arrived.

When the lamp is at a right angle (ie parallel to the floor) - approx 41" above the floor. The lamp can be adjusted (at an angle) another 12" up or down.

The lamp is very bright. However, because you point it in a direction, it would be kind of a weird way to light a whole room (it would be like having the sun in the corner). If that's your goal, I think something like a halogen floor lamp (that bounces light up off the ceiling) would be better. I've used the Atlas lamp for extra reading light when it's behind me, but we put a silver tip bulb in because the bulb itself pointing at you is really bright.

The lamp is adjustable, but not enough to put behind a recliner the way my parents had hoped. They keep the lamp to the side of the chair. Please note that the lamp tends to lean forward if you put it on carpet, in fact it tipped over on my mother when we had it extended to the highest height. Hard wood would be probably be better. Also, the lamp is definitely a reading/task light, not a lamp to light a whole room very well.

The electric cords from the lamps join together in a plastic yoke that appears unified. Connected from there is 5' cord that has a plug. If you wanted to separate the lamps from the pole, by removing the handle from the T frame. Then it could be used to position on the floor or large shelf. I like the unit over all.

Only if you sit beneath the lamp and look up!! Funny question! The lamp sits in the corner and over my couch. It is a great lamp because of its dim knob I can make it as bright or as dim as I want! I get lots of compliments on this lamp. It is very nice and I would recommend to my family or friends. I hope I was able to help you!

Depends on the orientation of the electrical box inside the wall, and whether the two screws that hold the body of the light itself will line up. Additionally, the shade itself is only anchored in one place, on top, to hold it in place. You would put a stress on the opposite end with nothing holding it in place with the weight of gravity.

No problem. If I point the lamp straignt down, I can get it to throw a 14" diameter circle of bright light. If I angle it to the side a bit the spot becomes an oval easily over 2 feet wide and 3 feet long. This lamp is a spot light that makes a great task light, but it doesn't contribute much to lighting a room. Without another lamp near by, there is a spot of bright light and not much else.

I have the lamp in a corner, the middle shade is roughly 50 inches from the corner (with the base against the wall). You can spread the individual limbs as wide or narrow as you like. Hope this helps!

Yes indeed. That's what I use mine for. I have a floor lamp in a corner behind a recliner (difficult to reach). I use this (in the house) to turn the floor lamp on and off. I can take the remote with me when I leave home and turn the inside light on from just outside my front door when I get back at night... so I don't have to go into a dark house. I love mine!
