Operation: Press the switch on the base or cord to turn the lamp ON. Press again to turn OFF.

Adjustment: Gently bend the gooseneck arm to position the light. Rotate the lamp head to aim the light beam.

Note: The LED light source is designed to last for the lifetime of the product under normal use.

Positioning & Adjustment

For optimal task lighting and eye comfort.

  1. Place the lamp on a stable surface to the side of your work area to avoid shadows.
  2. Adjust the arm so the lamp head is approximately 12-18 inches from the work surface.

Tip: Position the lamp so the light falls over your shoulder onto your work.
