Iconic 92" Arc Lamp is an arc floor lamp that puts light where a ceiling fixture would go, with no electrician and nothing to open in the ceiling, from a brand with over a century of lighting behind it.

The Iconic 92" Arc Lamp puts light where a ceiling fixture would go, with no electrician and nothing to open in the ceiling. It stands 95 in tall with a 79 in reach on a base measuring 21.5"H x 9.5"W x 9.5"D. Nova groups full-size arcs at 80 to 95 in, tall enough to sit over a sofa or a sectional.

Where it works best

Use it over a sofa or sectional, above a dining table, or in a room with no ceiling fixture. It plugs into a standard outlet and moves with you; no electrician is needed. Nova lists final assembly as required.

Who this is not for

This is not for anyone who needs a lamp that fits a narrow corner: the base and the reach both need clear floor and head room, so measure the spot first. It also needs final assembly, so plan a few minutes for setup.

Why we carry Nova of California

Nova says it is the oldest lighting company in North America: founded in Brooklyn in 1923, now working from Venice Beach. Its design director Peter Morelli developed the arc lamps for the American market, and by 1970 the brand was being called the king of arc lamps. We have been curating design-led lighting since 2009, and Nova earns its place for one reason: the proportions look expensive and the build is meant to stay in the house for years.

Care, bulbs and dimming

Dust with a dry cloth and skip harsh cleaners. Nova says a damp cloth is fine on clear or mirrored glass, and that a standard touch-up pen covers minor scratches on wood or gold leaf. The 14W A19 E26 light source comes with the lamp; for dimming, Nova recommends quality dimmable, flicker-free LEDs.

LED or incandescent?

Shop by lumens, not watts: lumens say how bright a bulb is, while watts only say how much power it pulls. The factory LED in this arc floor lamp is 14W and puts out 1500 lumens, roughly the output of a 100W incandescent, using a fraction of the power and giving off far less heat. An incandescent bulb has a slightly rounder, warmer glow but runs hot and wears out sooner. If you ever swap bulbs, match the base type and pick a dimmable, flicker-free LED at 1500K so the light stays consistent. Our LED vs. incandescent bulb guide has a chart that matches old wattages to the right LED.
