The Aries floor lamp provides efficient ambient lighting for an entire room in a slim design. Simplicity shines in this look with a matte black finish and a tapered frosted plastic shade. An Adesso patented 300 Watt Double Socket construction allows for two crisscrossed sockets, each holding on/off 150 Watt incandescent or Led bulbs which provides approximately 3 times more light than a typical torchiere. A simple high/low rotary switch is located on the pole to adjust the brightness. This lamp has a black cord and is smart outlet compatible. Bulbs are not included. The three-way switch adjusts the light from low setting, high setting to off position. Use incandescent bulbs up to 150W or dimmable led bulbs (Do Not Use: 3-way bulbs or Cfl's)
