This lamp is for indoor use only.

WARNING! Risk of electric shock or fire if misused. Follow all safety instructions.

Assembly Instructions

Follow steps in order. Assemble on a soft surface to avoid scratches.

Attach Base: If separate, screw the stem into the base firmly by hand.
Assemble Stem: Connect stem sections (if multiple) by twisting together.
Route Cord: Feed the power cord through the center of the stem sections if required by design.
Attach Shade: Secure the shade to the top of the stem or socket using the provided ring or screws. Ensure it is straight and secure.
Final Check: Ensure all connections are tight and the lamp stands upright without wobbling.

Tip: Do not over-tighten plastic or threaded parts.

Installation & Placement

Choose a location near a power outlet, on a flat, stable floor.
Position the lamp so the cord does not create a tripping hazard. Use a cord cover if necessary.
Ensure there is adequate space around the lamp and it is not in a walkway.
Plug the cord directly into a wall outlet. Do not use with extension cords or power strips as a permanent solution.

CAUTION! The lamp may become warm during use. Allow space for heat dissipation.

Bulb Replacement

Always unplug the lamp and allow bulb to cool before replacing.

Remove the shade if it obstructs access to the bulb (usually by unscrewing a finial or loosening a set screw).
Unscrew the old bulb counterclockwise.
Screw in a new bulb of the correct type and wattage (see Specifications) clockwise until snug. Do not overtighten.
Replace the shade securely.
Plug in the lamp and test.

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

Operation

Plug in the lamp. Use the switch on the cord or the touch control on the base (model dependent) to turn the lamp on/off.

Cord Switch: Slide or flip the switch on the power cord.
Touch Control: Tap the metal base or a designated area to cycle through on/off, or sometimes brightness levels.
Adjustment: If your model has an adjustable arm or head, gently position it to direct light where needed.

Note: The lamp is designed for ambient lighting, not task lighting unless specified.

Care & Cleaning

Always unplug the lamp before cleaning.

Shade: Use a soft brush or vacuum cleaner attachment to remove dust from fabric shades. For metal shades, wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth.
Base & Stem: Wipe with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn marks, use a cloth dampened with water and mild soap. Dry immediately.
Cord: Wipe with a dry cloth.

DO NOT immerse any part of the lamp in water or use abrasive cleaners.
