I'm guessing you're getting down voted by all of us that want light to be reflected/diffused off the ceiling, and actively own LED versions of this lamp.
These exist, they make LED versions of this. I have 3 of them because I'm too lazy to crawl into the attic and install better lighting in the ceiling itself.
I too am a fan of pouring money down the drain on inefficient and useless lighting that needs to be 3x the power of other lighting!
The LEDs were to keep with the designs that these lights created with their necessary design, there are better and more efficient ways to achieve the same lighting as these towers.
I don't understand this take. A single LED bulb provides plenty of light for a bedroom, and two are plenty for a larger room. Your house doesn't have to look like a doctors office with 700 downward facing lights.
...what are you even talking about? "better" lighting is completely subjective, I am happy with what my lights do and they are already LED, so there is no more efficient way to get the effects that I prefer.
It's ok if you prefer different things, but you're just crapping on other people's subjective preferences as if your preference is the only right answer.
