Floor Lamp Tab
A floor lamp is a decorative lamp that has a shade and a tall stand.
- Shade
- Choose the shape of the lamp shade.
- Base
- Choose the shape of the lamp stand.
- Colors
- Click each button in the 'Colors' section to bring up a color picker dialog and change the indicated color for the lamp. The shade color will be the color of the lamp shade, and the base color will be the color of the stand. The 'Lamp Color' is the color of the light emitted by the lamp, not of any part of the lamp itself.
- Heights
- The physical height of the lamp is defined in the 'Heights' box. The 'Total' height is the height of the entire lamp from top to bottom. The 'Shade' height is the height from the top of the lamp to the bottom of the shade.
- Diameters
- The physical width of the lamp is defined in the 'Diameters' box. The 'Shade' diameter is the width of the widest part of the shade. The 'Base' diameter is the width of the widest part of the stand.
