An ON/OFF foot switch is on the black cable, which runs visibly on the rod's inner side.

Story
Directed like a torch
On the floor lamp the stem is joined to the compact diffuser by the force of a spherical magnet. The head is directed like a torch, and its light is intense, concentrated and focused.
Reading lamp and diffused effect
The lamp serves as a reading light, and it can also be aimed to give a diffused lighting effect. The head slides vertically along the rod.
