Nova Bloom Swag Lamp

Bloom Swag Lamp brings Nova of California design to the room as a plug-in swag light that hangs from a ceiling hook and plugs into the wall, so you get a pendant look without any wiring.

The light is 1600 lumens of 2700K warm light, and the bulb is in the box. It dims from a inline dimmer on the inline. Two finishes let you tune it to the palette you already have.

The Design Story

Nova has been making lamps since 1923. In the 1950s and 60s its designer Peter Morelli turned the arc lamp into an American living-room staple, and the brand still works from that same idea: good light, honest materials, a shape you notice.

Why You’ll Love It

It reads as furniture, not hardware. Built from steel, it has the weight a thin fixture lacks. It measures 11.3 in tall, 14 in wide, and 14 in deep, so the scale is easy to plan around. The light is warm and even: 1600 lumens of 2700K warm light, CRI 90+, so wood, fabric and skin tones look right. Choose your finish: body finish in weathered brass and satin nickel.

Made for Real Life

Day to day it is easy. A ceiling hook holds it and a wall outlet powers it; no wiring is needed. Dust it with a dry cloth, keep harsh cleaners away, and use a dimmable, flicker-free LED if you dim it, as Nova recommends.

LED vs. Incandescent

A bulb’s brightness is its lumen count, and its wattage is only the electricity it uses. Here that means 1600 lumens from a 14W LED, the same punch as an old 100W incandescent, without the heat. Incandescents read a touch warmer and softer, but they run hot and burn out faster. Switching later is easy: keep the same base, and choose a dimmable, flicker-free LED rated 2700K.

Putting It Together

Expect to do a little final assembly when it arrives. Nova has a printable guide for this model: assembly instructions (PDF). It is worth a quick read before the box shows up.

Details and Dimensions

Where It Shines

It looks best above a reading chair, in a corner or over a bed, or where there is no ceiling junction box. It is not the right pick for anyone who wants a hardwired look with no visible cord.
