Controls and Operation

Operation is simple and intuitive.

Turning On/Off: Gently touch the touch-sensitive area (usually marked on the base or lower arm). One touch turns the lamp on, another touch turns it off.

Adjusting Light Direction: 1. Head Adjustment: Grip the lamp head and tilt or rotate it to aim the light. 2. Arm Adjustment: Gently bend the flexible gooseneck arm to raise, lower, or reposition the light. It will hold its shape.

Note: There is no brightness dimming function on this model.

Positioning & Adjustment

For optimal use and eye comfort.

  1. Place the lamp on a stable, flat surface near your work area.
  2. Position the lamp so the light shines onto your task (e.g., book, keyboard, craft) from the side or slightly behind to avoid glare on your work or screen.
  3. Adjust the arm and head so the light beam is focused where you need it, without shining directly into your eyes.
  4. Ensure the power cord is safely routed to avoid tripping hazards.

Tip: Avoid looking directly at the LED light source when it is on.

Replacing the Light Source

Important: This lamp uses an integrated LED module. It is not designed for user replacement.

  1. Lifespan: The LED has a very long lifespan under normal use.
  2. If Light Fails: If the lamp stops lighting and power is confirmed, the integrated LED module may have reached end of life.
  3. Action: The entire lamp unit must be replaced. Do not attempt to open the lamp head or repair the LED.

WARNING! Never disassemble the lamp head. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Risk of electric shock.

Care & Cleaning

Unplug the lamp from the wall outlet before cleaning.

  1. Use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth to wipe the base, arm, and head.
  2. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
  3. Ensure no moisture enters any openings or seams.
  4. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth before plugging back in.

CAUTION! Do not immerse any part of the lamp in water or other liquids.
