Good floor standing reading light - advice please

I have a daylight lamp for reading and computer work. I would not use anything else now, it's amazing. . It came from Clifford James and is flicker free. But they only do brass or chrome.

Forgot to say, we bought ours at Homebase. Just googled and they are still on sale from about £35 upwards.

We have a “mother and child” floor lamp quite similar to the one on trisher’s link. Must have had it for over 16 years, have only had to replace one bulb in that time. It is used a lot, we will certainly replace with something similar if this one goes kaput.

A friend and his wife have SR lights. He is endlessly picky and actually went to their showrooms to try them all out. He and his wife both came out with entirely different lights but ones most suited to their needs. They both took books/knitting etc with them so that they were able to make sure the light was entirely suitable.

Yes, this one is a great option.

Thanks everyone for your helpful suggestions and also feedback on the expensive Serious Readers lights. Thanks Chewbacca for the IKEA link - I've found one there I really like the look of so will order it now, but will still consider SR later on - several reading spots in the house that need good light for ageing eyes!

We have the Ikea Antifoni, it’s ideal and very adjustable.
It’s on the link from trisher

I have a standard up lighting lamp and it is has a good gentle light. It matches the other lamp shades in our house. I must have had it for a good few years now though.

Oops Freudian slip
Serious Readers I meant!

Easy Readers
Fiendishly expensive but very, very good.

We have 2 floor standing SR lights and a SR table lamp. We find them good. Had halogen lamps before but they were too hot. Our floor lights have multi angle head and are dimmable. We are pleased with our purchase but as you say not cheap. Depends what your individual needs are I think. I use mine for sewing as can't see too well.

We got a senior readers light after sending for catalogue. It looked expensive, so we didn't order one. Some while later they offered rather a good discount so we opted for the table light. DH always used it for reading, and I find it brilliant when unpicking mistakes in sewing! It went wrong after about two years and they mended it and said that their guarantee is three years!

Have a look at RNIB floor lights- they are mainly silver colour or white.

I've got one a bit like this - it works well.

We brought this for my mum. Not very sturdy but it does the job www.argos.co.uk/product/4717533

We have 2 'mother and child' lights which we find good.

I bought my OH and excellent reading lamp from Ikea last Christmas. Easy to manoeuvre to wherever you want it to be and gives a good light. Not expensive either. Have a look at some of these:
