Control is via a touch-sensitive area on the base or lamp head (model dependent).

To Turn On/Off: Tap the touch control once.

To Adjust Brightness: Touch and hold the control. Brightness will cycle from low to high and back. Release at desired level.

Note: The lamp may remember the last brightness setting when turned off and on again.

Positioning and Use

For optimal task lighting:

  1. Position the base on your desk or work surface, ensuring it is stable.
  2. Gently bend the gooseneck arm to direct the light onto your work area (e.g., keyboard, book, craft).
  3. Avoid looking directly into the LED light source.
  4. Adjust the brightness to suit the task and ambient light conditions.

Tip: Position the lamp so the light comes from the side opposite your writing hand to minimize shadows.

Care & Maintenance

Unplug the lamp from the wall outlet before cleaning.

  1. Wipe the base, arm, and lamp head with a soft, dry cloth.
