Controls and Operation

The lamp is operated solely via the on/off switch located on the power cord.

Operation: Press the switch to turn the lamp ON. Press again to turn it OFF.

Tip: For ambient lighting, use a warm white LED bulb (2700K). For task lighting, a brighter cool white bulb may be preferable.

Bulb Replacement

Always turn off and unplug the lamp before replacing the bulb.

  1. Allow the bulb to cool completely if it was recently on.

  3. Screw a new E14 bulb (max 7W LED or equivalent) clockwise into the socket until snug. Do not overtighten.
  4. Plug in the lamp and turn it on to test the new bulb.

WARNING! Never exceed the maximum recommended wattage. Using a higher-wattage bulb can cause overheating and fire.
