Arco Cordless Rechargeable Floor Lamp

The owner's take on the Arco

Arco is a slim floor lamp on a weighted disc base, and it runs on a battery. That is the whole idea. You can stand it next to a sofa or a reading chair in the middle of a room, nowhere near a wall, with no cord to run under the rug or tape to the skirting. Touch controls on the body handle on and off, dimming, and colour temperature from a warm 2200K up to a brighter 3000K, at 253 to 308 lumens, which is enough to actually read by. A charge lasts about ten hours. It tops up on a contact base, and there is a silicone hook built in, so the same head can hang as a pendant over a table.

Where it is not the right tool: it is a straight column, not an arc that reaches out over furniture, and the wall plug for the charging base is not included. At about 119 cm the light lands near shoulder height when you are sitting, which is right for a reading corner but low for lighting a whole open-plan room on its own.

Why you will love the Arco

• Stands anywhere. Middle of the room, next to the couch, out on a covered deck. No power point required.
• Bright enough to read by. 253 to 308 lumens with warm-to-neutral colour temperature, 2200K to 3000K.
• Touch dimming on the body. On, off, brightness and colour from one panel, no floor switch to find.
• IP65 rated. A covered verandah or a roofed patio is fine, including the odd bit of blown rain.
• Doubles as a pendant. The built-in hook lets the head hang over a table.

Why a cordless floor lamp is worth it

If you have searched floor lamp Australia, you will have found that almost every option assumes a power point exactly where you want the light. Arco fills that gap: it is a rechargeable floor lamp you set down in the middle of a room. It runs on a low-voltage battery, so it also skips the 240V electrical approval that slows imported plug-in floor lamps into Australia. Backed by our 60-day guarantee.

Are floor lamps like this still in style?

Yes. The current floor lamp is slim, warm and often cordless, used as the middle layer of light in a room rather than a bright uplighter. We go into it in Are floor lamps still in style in 2026?

Where does the Arco work best?

Beside a reading chair, at one end of the sofa, in a dark corner, or on a covered deck for dinner. Black recedes once the lights are low; Warm White suits a pale room where black would stand out.
