Searchlight Serpent Floor Lamp - Black & Opal Tube

A Spiral of Light From Floor to Head Height

The Serpent floor lamp takes the same idea as its table lamp counterpart and stretches it to full height. A slim matt black pole rises from a round base, wrapped by a glowing opal tube that spirals from bottom to top, turning the light source itself into a piece of sculpture rather than something tucked inside a shade.

This black and opal version pairs a matt black mild steel pole and base with a silicone diffuser tube, so the spiral reads as one smooth, evenly lit ribbon rather than a string of individual points of light. At 141cm tall it has real floor lamp presence, and works well beside a sofa, an armchair, or in an empty corner that needs a soft glow rather than task lighting.

How It Works

• Built from mild steel and silicone, with a matt black finish on the base and pole
• Runs on a single integrated 20W LED that produces 1523lm of warm white light at 2700K
• Fitted with a sliding foot dimmer, so you can adjust brightness without bending down to the base
• Stands 141cm tall on a 23cm diameter base
• Simple plug in setup, no separate transformer or wiring needed

Where It Works Best

Its height and soft, ambient output suit a living room corner beside a sofa, a reading nook, or a bedroom where you want gentle background light rather than a bright overhead. The matt black and opal finish leans modern, so it suits contemporary schemes particularly well.

Questions People Ask

How is the brightness controlled?
A sliding foot dimmer is built into the base, so you can adjust the light level underfoot without needing a separate wall switch.

How tall is the floor lamp?
It stands 141cm tall on a 23cm diameter base, giving it a similar footprint to a standard floor lamp.

Can the bulb be replaced?
No. It uses a single integrated 20W LED built into the tube, so there is no separate bulb to change over its life.

What is the spiral tube made from?
It's a silicone diffuser wrapped around a mild steel pole finished in matt black, which is what gives the spiral its even, opal glow.
