The Searchlight Macbeth 2028CU is an adjustable floor lamp with a distinctive industrial look and an antique copper finish. Its hinged arm and domed metal shade allow the light to be directed towards a reading chair, desk area or other part of the room where focused illumination is useful. The lamp stands 135 cm high in its lower configuration and can reach a total height of 150 cm when adjusted. A gloss white interior to the shade helps reflect light from the E27 bulb towards the area below. As a freestanding, plug-in fitting with an inline foot switch, the Macbeth is particularly practical beside sofas and armchairs, where it can add both task lighting and a decorative metal accent without requiring permanent installation.
The Macbeth has an industrial-inspired form constructed from mild steel and finished in antique copper. Its broad domed shade is complemented by visible metal detailing around the rim and top, while hinged joints give the upright arm a functional, workshop-style appearance. The inside of the shade is finished in gloss white, creating a clear contrast with the darker copper exterior and helping reflect light downwards. A circular stepped base supports the tall fitting and visually balances the substantial shade. The overall design works particularly well in interiors featuring warm metals, exposed materials, dark woods or industrial details.
This floor lamp uses one E27 replaceable bulb, which is not supplied. The adjustable hinged arm and movable lamp head allow the direction and position of the light to be changed, making the fitting useful for reading, task lighting or adding focused illumination beside seating. The domed metal shade concentrates the light towards its open side, while the gloss white inner surface helps reflect the output from the bulb.
A GLS-shaped E27 bulb is the recommended format for this fitting. LED bulbs are compatible. The manufacturer lists a traditional maximum of 60W for the lamp holder. Where an LED bulb is used, an LED lamp of up to 8W is recommended. Operation is by an inline foot switch, providing straightforward on/off control. This floor lamp does not provide a built-in dimming function.
