Adjustment: The lamp has no brightness or color controls. The light level is fixed. To change the illuminated area, physically adjust the arm and head.

Positioning and Adjustment

For optimal task lighting, position the lamp to the side of your work to reduce glare and shadows.

  1. Loosen the arm: Gently bend the gooseneck to the desired height and angle.

Tip: Position the lamp so the light source is not directly visible to your eyes to prevent glare.
