I love how this arc lamp looks in my home; it's very unique and high styled. I especially like how no matter what angle I look at it from I can't really see the bulb because of the design aspects. Also, I like how I can change the feel of the room and this arc lamp by changing the bulb type. I noticed that when I put a "warm" colored bulb in this arc lamp the white "shade" appears to have a happier yellowish tint, but when I put a more "white / white compact florescent" bulb the shade looks very white and modern looking.
