Controls and Operation

Operation is simple via the integrated switch.

To Turn On: Press or flip the switch on the power cord or base to the "I" or ON position.

To Turn Off: Press or flip the switch to the "O" or OFF position.

Adjustment:
1. Arm: Gently grasp the arm and bend it to the desired height and angle.
2. Head: Hold the lamp head and tilt it to direct the light beam precisely.

Note: This is a non-dimmable lamp. Do not connect to an external dimmer switch.

Positioning and Use

For optimal lighting and safety.

  1. Place the lamp on a stable, level desk or table surface.
  2. Adjust the arm and head so the light falls on your work area without shining directly into your eyes.
  3. Ensure the power cord is positioned where it will not be a tripping hazard.
  4. Do not place the lamp near the edge of the surface where it could be knocked over.

Tip: Position the lamp opposite your writing hand to minimize shadows.

Bulb Replacement

This lamp uses an integrated, non-user-replaceable LED module.

  1. LED Lifespan: The LED is designed to last for thousands of hours under normal use.
  2. If Light Fails: If the LED fails before the end of its expected lifespan, the entire lamp head or unit may need to be replaced. Do not attempt to open the lamp head.

WARNING! The LED module is not serviceable. Disconnect from power before any inspection. Do not attempt to repair.

Care & Cleaning

Unplug the lamp from the electrical outlet before cleaning.

  1. Use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth to wipe the exterior surfaces (base, arm, head).
  2. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
  3. Ensure the lamp is completely dry before plugging it back in.

CAUTION! Never immerse the lamp, cord, or plug in water or other liquids.
