The Domus CARTER-FL is a paper rope floor lamp on matt black metalware, 1,560 mm tall with a Ø280 mm shade, taking a single E27 lamp, in black or natural. ⚠ This lamp appears twice in our catalogue. The same product, the same part numbers, on two pages under slightly different names. Both sell the same lamp, and you will get the same item whichever you order from. It does mean reviews and search results are split between the two pages, which is why we are pointing it out rather than letting you wonder. We have flagged the duplication for tidying. ⛔ The number that matters on this lamp: maximum 25 W. Most E27 fittings take 60 W. This one takes 25, because the shade is paper rope — a natural fibre wrapped close around the lamp. ✅ An LED globe costs you nothing: 9–11 W gives roughly what a 60 W incandescent did. The height is what makes a floor lamp work 1,560 mm. ✅ The shade sits above head height for someone seated and just below eye level for someone standing — which is exactly where it needs to be to light a chair without glaring at the room. ⚠ Compare it with the ALLEGRA floor lamp elsewhere in this catalogue, whose recorded height of 580 mm is table-lamp height and which we have flagged as unreliable. This one's 1,560 mm is consistent with what a floor lamp has to be. Ø280 mm shade, 415 mm base. A generous pool — wide enough for two people on a sofa — and a base that needs a little more floor than a slim lamp. Choosing the globe For reading: a 9–11 W LED E27 around 800–1,000 lm at 3000 K, opal. ⚠ Opal, not clear. The shade is open at the bottom and sits at standing eye level, so a filament globe is visible to anyone walking past. For atmosphere: a filament LED at 1800–2200 K — it will not light a book, and that is often the point. ⛔ Never above 25 W in an incandescent or halogen. Dimming depends on the globe, not the lamp. What paper rope gives, and what it asks A woven natural fibre — light comes through warm and slightly textured rather than as a hard edge. ✅ Down through the open bottom, softly through the weave. It lights a chair without leaving the rest of the room dark. ✅ Natural reads as light oak and warm neutrals; black is graphic and gives a more contained pool. ⚠ It holds dust — a vacuum brush attachment, not a wet cloth — and it does not belong near a cooktop. Part of a family ✅ CARTER is a matching range: this floor lamp, a table lamp (Ø290 mm / 478 mm), a desk lamp (Ø170 mm / 555 mm) and pendants in Ø170, Ø275 and Ø405 mm. ✅ All share the matt black metalware, the black cable and the same 25 W limit, so a room can be lit consistently — this beside the chair, a table lamp on the console, a pendant over the table. Tell us the room and we will specify the set. ⚠ Warranty is one year across the family, shorter than most of this catalogue. Where it works ✅ Beside a sofa or a reading chair, with an opal LED E27. ✅ Corners that need light without a ceiling fitting — rentals especially. ✅ Alongside other CARTER pieces — a matched scheme. ⛔ Not above 25 W — use an LED globe. ⛔ Not near a cooktop — it is a fibre shade. ⚠ Allow for a 415 mm base beside a sofa arm. Specifying it Paper rope floor lamp on matt black metalware with a black cable. Ø280 mm shade, 1,560 mm high, 415 mm base width. Shade in black or natural. 1 × E27 lamp holder, globe not included. ⛔ Maximum 25 W — lower than a typical E27 fitting, because the shade is paper rope. Use an LED globe. 220–240 V AC, IP20, indoor. Part of the CARTER family. ⚠ Warranty 1 year. ⚠ This lamp also appears on a second listing in our catalogue under a slightly different name; it is the same product. Supplied and supported by Lights For You. Questions I have seen this lamp on another page — are they different?No, they are the same product with the same part numbers, listed twice under slightly different names. Both pages sell the same lamp and you will get the same item whichever you order from. The practical consequence is that reviews and search results are split between the two pages, which is why we are telling you rather than letting you wonder. We have flagged it for tidying. What is the maximum globe wattage?25 W, lower than an E27 holder normally allows — most take 60 W. The shade is paper rope, a natural fibre wrapped close around the lamp, which is the reason. With LED it is a non-issue: a 9–11 W LED E27 gives roughly what a 60 W incandescent did and runs cool. Never fit an incandescent or halogen above 25 W. How tall is it?1,560 mm, on a 415 mm base with a Ø280 mm shade. That puts the shade above head height for someone seated and just below eye level standing, which is what a floor lamp needs to do to light a chair without glaring at the room. Worth noting because another floor lamp in this catalogue records a height that cannot be right; this one is consistent. Should I use a clear or an opal globe?Opal. The shade is open at the bottom and sits at about standing eye level, so a clear filament globe is directly visible to anyone walking past. Opal at 3000 K, around 800–1,000 lumens, is the right answer for reading beside a chair. Will it light a whole room?It will light a chair or sofa generously and lift a corner — the Ø280 mm shade throws a pool wide enough for two people rather than one reader. It is not a substitute for a ceiling light in a large room, but in a rental or a room with no ceiling point it does a great deal. How do I look after the shade?A vacuum brush attachment, gently and occasionally. Paper rope holds dust in the weave and a wet cloth will mark it — and recovering a shade that has been left for years is much harder than keeping on top of it. For the same reason, keep it away from a cooktop. Is there a matching table lamp or pendant?Yes — CARTER is a family: a table lamp at Ø290 mm, a desk lamp at Ø170 mm, and pendants in Ø170, Ø275 and Ø405 mm, all in the same matt black metalware with a black cable and the same 25 W limit. Tell us the room and we will specify the set together.
