Nova Float 92"H Arc Lamp

Float 92"H Arc Lamp brings Nova of California design to the room as an arc floor lamp that moves the light to the middle of the room from a floor base, with no electrician and no ceiling work.

The light is 1500 lumens of 1500K warm light. It dims from a stem switch on the column. Four finish combinations 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 and marble, it has the weight a thin fixture lacks. It measures 92 in tall, 18 in wide, and 68 in reach, so the scale is easy to plan around. The light is warm and even: 1500 lumens of 1500K warm light, CRI 90+, so wood, fabric and skin tones look right. Choose your finish: shade in matte black/gold and matte black silver; body finish in weathered brass and satin nickel; base finish in black, weathered brass, and satin nickel.

Made for Real Life

Day to day it is easy. Plug it into a regular outlet and shift it whenever the room changes; no electrician involved. Dust it with a dry cloth, keep harsh cleaners away, and use a dimmable, flicker-free LED if you dim it, as Nova recommends. The marble base is genuine marble, per Nova, so no two bases are exactly alike.

California Proposition 65: this product may contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm.

LED vs. Incandescent

A bulb’s brightness is its lumen count, and its wattage is only the electricity it uses. Here that means 1500 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 1500K.

Putting It Together

Expect to do a little final assembly when it arrives. The instructions are packed in the box; ask us if you want a look at them first.

Details and Dimensions

Where It Shines

It looks best across a sofa or sectional, over a dining table, or in a room without a ceiling fixture. It is not the right pick for tight corners, because the base and the arc both want open floor and head room.

Questions We Hear Most

What size is the Float 92"H Arc Lamp, really?

It rises 92 in high and reaches 68 in out, set on a base of 17"D x 2"H. Nova sorts full-size arcs at 80 to 95 in, high enough to reach over a sofa or sectional.

What kind of light does the Float 92"H Arc Lamp give off?

It puts out 1500 lumens of 1500K warm light with CRI 90+. It takes a 14W A19 E26 bulb, not included.

How does the dimming work on the Float 92"H Arc Lamp?

It dims from a stem switch on the column. For the smoothest result use a dimmable, flicker-free LED, as Nova recommends.

How hard is setup for the Float 92"H Arc Lamp?

Plug it into a regular outlet and shift it whenever the room changes; no electrician involved. Nova lists final assembly as required.

Is the marble base real stone?

Per Nova, yes: it is genuine marble, not resin, so the veining and tone are never identical from one base to the next.

How should I clean the Float 92"H Arc Lamp?

Use a dry cloth and avoid harsh cleaners. A damp cloth is fine on clear or mirror glass, and Nova suggests a touch-up pen for small scratches on wood or gold leaf.

Is there a warranty on the Float 92"H Arc Lamp?

Yes, a 1-year limited warranty. Nova covers defects in material or workmanship under normal use for 1 year when a lamp is bought through a retailer like us (its own website sells with 3 years). Nova decides whether to repair, replace or refund. Damage from pets, modification, use outside the U.S. and incandescent bulbs are excluded. Write to us first if anything arrives wrong.

Why We Love It

We keep coming back to Nova because the shapes are confident and the proportions are right for a modern room. It is a lamp with a point of view that still lets the furniture speak.
