Description
The Velas is a 160cm LED floor lamp built around two stacked spiral diffusers made from micropatterned methacrylate, mounted on a slim matte gold stem with a circular base. The integrated 18W LED sits behind the diffusers and casts 3000K warm white light through the micropatterned surface, turning the plastic itself into a softly glowing sculptural element rather than a traditional shade.
Designed as accent lighting rather than task lighting, the Velas suits living rooms, hallways, bedroom corners and dining areas where ambient light and visual interest are both needed. The 160cm height brings the light source up to eye level when standing, while the 25cm diameter of the diffusers keeps the footprint compact enough for alcoves, corners and narrow hallways. The circular base measures approximately 20cm across and weighs 3.63kg, giving stability on most floor surfaces without requiring wall fixing.
The matte gold finish on the stem and base provides a warm metallic accent that pairs with brass hardware, warm-toned timber and honey-coloured interiors. The micropatterned methacrylate diffusers are translucent rather than transparent, concealing the LED source completely when lit and creating a soft glow without visible glare or hotspots. The spiral form of the two diffusers creates different shadow patterns depending on viewing angle, adding depth to the design when positioned against a plain wall.
The lamp is rated IP20 for indoor dry environments only and runs on Class 3 low-voltage circuitry (26.5-40V) via an integrated driver. Schuller manufactures the Velas in Spain as part of their contemporary lighting collection, pairing European design with LED efficiency.

Assembly Instruction
Frequently Asked
Is the Velas dimmable?
The integrated 18W LED runs on low-voltage Class 3 circuitry. Dimmer compatibility depends on the specific dimmer switch used — contact us before pairing with a dimmer to confirm compatibility.
What is the methacrylate diffuser and how does it look when lit?
The diffusers are made from micropatterned methacrylate, a type of acrylic plastic with a textured surface that scatters light evenly. When lit, the diffusers glow softly without showing the LED source or creating glare, producing a sculptural ambient effect rather than directed task light.
Can it be used in bathrooms?
No. The lamp is rated IP20, which means it is suitable only for indoor dry environments. It cannot be used in bathrooms, outdoor spaces, or anywhere exposed to moisture.
How is it assembled?
The lamp ships in parts: base, stem, diffusers and driver. Assembly involves attaching the stem to the base, threading the cable, mounting the diffusers onto the stem brackets, and connecting the low-voltage driver. Full instructions are available in the Downloads section above.
