The direct type floor lamp has concentrated light, obvious local effect and small influence on the surrounding area. The light of the lamp diffuses on the ceiling and spreads evenly indoors. This "indirect" lighting mode has soft light, which is less stimulating to human eyes and can also relax people to a certain extent. In some popular modern minimalist home designs, the use of such lamps is quite common.

Floor lamps are generally placed in the rest area of the living room. They work with the sofa and coffee table to meet the lighting needs of the area and form a specific environmental atmosphere. In general, floor lamps should not be placed next to tall furniture or in areas that hinder activities. In addition, floor lamps can also be used in the bedroom. For example, when the reporter saw a model room, the floor lamp was used in the bedroom, forming a warm light environment.
