LightBob Cordless Task Floor Light by Situ

LightBob is Situ's cordless task floor light: a 42 in stem on a weighted base, a flexible gooseneck and a small, bright head, powered by three ordinary D batteries. With no cord it goes wherever you sit, beside a reading chair, at a craft table, out on the porch or by the grill.

On low it runs for about 200 hours. Seven styles pair black or silver bodies with silver, black or brushed brass heads, three with a warm wood inlay.

The Design Story

Situ designs to one rule, form follows function, and LightBob is that rule applied to a reading light. A weighted base 6¼ in across, a slim 42 in stem and a 360° flexible gooseneck put a small, precise head exactly where the page, the needle or the grill needs it.

The body is brass and aluminum, brushed, anodized or sandblasted, and three styles add a wood inlay of oak, walnut or sapele. The LED is 93+ CRI at 3500K, up to 400 lumens, with four levels from low to turbo.

Because it runs on standard alkaline D cells rather than a built-in pack, it is also a dependable light to have on hand when the power goes out.

About Situ Art Lighting

Situ Art Lighting started as a father-and-son team in Sarasota, Florida, and is led today by President Jordan Minges. Its design rule is short: form follows function. Every light is built in-house in Sarasota and backed by a 3-year limited warranty, from cordless rechargeable picture lights to plug-in, hardwired and track systems, each sized to the artwork rather than rated by raw lumens. LoftModern is an authorized Situ retailer.

Who This Is Not For

If the light will stay in one spot by an outlet, the Plug-in LightBob is the same design without batteries to change. LightBob is a focused task light, not a room light; for lighting a painting, see Situ's picture lights.

Questions We Hear Most

Who makes LightBob?

Situ Art Lighting builds it in its own workshop in Sarasota, Florida. The company began as a father-and-son team and still designs, assembles and supports its lights in-house.

How long do the batteries last?

Three alkaline D batteries run it for about 200 hours on low, 150 on medium, 75 on high and 15 on turbo.

How tall is it, and is it stable?

It stands 42 in tall on a 6¼ in weighted base and weighs 3.3 lb with batteries, so it stays put beside a chair yet is easy to carry.

Can I use it outdoors?

Situ shows it in use on a patio and by the grill. Bring it inside afterwards rather than leaving it out in the weather.

Which style should I choose?

Black with silver or black accents is the most discreet; brushed brass adds warmth; the oak, walnut and sapele inlays bring a touch of wood to match furniture.
