Assembly Instructions

Assembly requires no tools. Follow these steps:

  1. Prepare the Base: Place the weighted base on your desired work surface (desk, table).
  2. Attach the Gooseneck Arm: Insert the threaded end of the gooseneck arm into the socket on the base. Turn clockwise until hand-tight. Do not over-tighten.
  3. Attach the Lamp Head: Screw the lamp head onto the top of the gooseneck arm. Turn clockwise until snug.
  4. Connect Power: Plug the DC connector from the power adapter into the port on the base or lower section of the arm. Plug the AC adapter into a standard wall outlet.

Tip: Ensure all connections are secure before plugging in.

Operation & Controls

The lamp features a touch-sensitive control panel, usually located on the base or the lamp head.

Control ActionFunction
Single TouchTurns the lamp ON/OFF.
Touch and HoldAdjusts brightness (increases while holding, decreases on second hold, or cycles).
Double Touch (if available)Cycles through color temperature modes (e.g., Warm White, Cool White).
  1. To Turn On: Briefly touch the control area. The lamp will turn on at the last brightness setting.
  2. To Adjust Brightness: Touch and hold the control area. Release at your desired brightness level. Some models may require you to touch and hold again to decrease.
  3. To Turn Off: Briefly touch the control area again.

Note: The lamp may have a memory function that recalls the last brightness setting.

Positioning & Adjustment

The flexible gooseneck arm allows for precise light placement.

  1. Directing the Light: Gently bend the gooseneck arm to position the lamp head. Aim the light directly at your work area (e.g., keyboard, book, craft project).
  2. Avoiding Glare: Position the lamp so the light source is not directly visible to your eyes. It should illuminate the task, not shine into your face.
  3. Optimal Distance: For reading, position the lamp head 30-40 cm (12-16 inches) from the page.
  4. Stable Base: The weighted base is designed to stay in place. Ensure the surface is clean and dry for maximum grip.

Tip: For even lighting, combine the task lamp with ambient room lighting.

Care & Maintenance

Unplug the lamp from the wall outlet before cleaning.

  1. Cleaning the Exterior: Wipe the base, arm, and lamp head with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or chemical sprays.
  2. Cleaning the LED Lens: Use a soft, dry cloth to gently dust the light-emitting surface.
  3. Storage: If storing, loosely coil the gooseneck arm. Store in a cool, dry place.

CAUTION! Never immerse any part of the lamp in water or other liquids. Do not use the lamp if the cord or adapter is damaged.
