Assembly Instructions

Estimated assembly time: 15-30 minutes. Tools required: Phillips screwdriver (may be included).

Prepare Workspace: Unpack all parts on a clean, soft surface to avoid scratches.
Attach Base: If separate, align the pole with the base and secure using provided bolt(s) from underneath. Tighten firmly.
Assemble Pole/Arm: Connect pole sections by threading together or inserting and securing with set screws. Ensure straight alignment.
Route the Cord: Feed the socket cord through the center of the pole from the top down, exiting at the base. Avoid twisting.
Install Socket: Attach the socket assembly to the top of the pole. It may screw on or be secured with a locking nut.
Attach Shade: Place shade over socket. Secure with the finial (top ring) by screwing it clockwise onto the socket threads.
Final Check: Ensure all connections are tight and the lamp stands upright without wobbling.

Tip: Do not fully tighten screws until all parts are aligned. Refer to included pictorial guide for specific model details.

Installation & Placement

Choose location before inserting bulb.

Select a stable, level floor surface near a power outlet.
Position lamp so the cord can reach the outlet without tension or tripping hazard.
For adjustable models, set the desired arm angle or height before turning on.
Plug into a standard 120V wall outlet.

CAUTION! Do not place in high-traffic areas where it may be knocked over. Keep away from curtains, bedding, or other flammable materials.

Bulb Replacement

Always unplug lamp and allow bulb to cool before replacement.

Unplug the lamp from the electrical outlet.
If necessary, remove the shade (unscrew finial counterclockwise and lift shade off).
Unscrew the old bulb counterclockwise and remove.
Screw in a new E26/E27 base bulb clockwise until snug. Do not exceed max wattage (e.g., 60W LED/CFL equivalent or as marked).
Replace the shade and secure with the finial.
Plug in and test.

Recommended: Use LED bulbs for energy efficiency and lower heat output.

Usage & Operation

Operation is simple via the in-line switch on the cord or a switch on the base/socket.

To Turn On: Press or flip the switch to the "ON" (|) position.
To Turn Off: Press or flip the switch to the "OFF" (O) position.

Troubleshooting

Symptom	Possible Cause	Corrective Action
Lamp does not turn on	Bulb burnt out; not plugged in; switch off; faulty outlet	Replace bulb; ensure plug is fully inserted; turn switch ON; test outlet with another device.
Lamp flickers	Loose bulb; incompatible/dimming bulb; poor socket contact	Turn off, unplug, and tighten bulb. Try a different, non-dimming bulb. Ensure bulb base matches socket.
Lamp wobbles	Uneven floor; base not fully secured; loose pole connections	Place on level surface. Check and tighten all assembly connections, especially base to pole.
Shade is loose or crooked	Finial not tight; shade not seated properly	Unplug lamp. Adjust shade position and tighten finial clockwise.
Overheating	Bulb wattage too high; enclosed shade blocking ventilation	Use a bulb at or below the maximum rated wattage. Ensure shade allows heat to dissipate.
Cord/switch feels warm	High-wattage bulb; potential fault	Immediately unplug. Check bulb wattage. If problem persists with correct bulb, discontinue use and contact support.

Safety First: If you suspect an electrical fault (burning smell, sparking, excessive heat from cord/socket), unplug immediately and do not use. Contact support.
