2700K warm white - a soft, golden tone similar to traditional incandescent lighting. Flatters skin tones and warm wood/brass interiors. With a CRI of 95+, colors appear vivid and accurate, making it suitable for art or decor. Fully dimmable via foot slide dimmer for adjustable ambiance.

Overall dimensions: 68 in wide (reach) x 18 in deep x 92 in tall. Shade is 22 in diameter x 9 in tall. Base is 16 in diameter x 13 in tall. Best for rooms with at least 8 ft ceilings; the arc extends 68 in from the base, so allow clearance for the shade swing.
