Safety Instructions

WARNING! Read all instructions before assembly and use.

  1. Electrical Safety: Use only with correct voltage (as marked on socket). Do not use if cord or plug is damaged.
  2. Bulb Specification: Use only E27 base bulbs, max 13W LED or equivalent. Higher wattage may cause overheating and fire risk.
  3. Placement: Place on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface away from edges. Keep away from water, moisture, and heat sources.
  4. Supervision: Do not leave children unattended with the lamp. This is not a toy.
  5. Maintenance: Always unplug the lamp before cleaning, assembly, or bulb replacement.

Assembly Instructions

Estimated assembly time: 10-15 minutes. Tools required: None (hand-tighten only).

  1. Prepare Workspace: Unpack all parts on a clean, soft surface to prevent scratches.
  2. Attach Stem to Base: Align the stem with the threaded hole on the base. Turn clockwise by hand until firmly secure. Do not over-tighten.
  3. Route the Cord: Feed the power cord through the center of the stem and out the opening at the base.
  4. Attach the Shade: Place the lamp shade over the top of the stem. It should rest securely on the provided lip or connector. Some models may require a finial to be screwed on top to secure the shade.
  5. Final Check: Ensure all parts are firmly connected but not forced. The lamp should stand upright without wobbling.

CAUTION! Do not plug in the lamp until assembly is complete and a suitable bulb is installed.

Specifications

Operation & Controls

The lamp is operated via a simple on/off switch located on the power cord.

  1. To Turn On: Press the switch to the "I" or ON position. The lamp will illuminate if a working bulb is installed.
  2. To Turn Off: Press the switch to the "O" or OFF position.
  3. Adjustment: The shade angle may be gently adjusted by hand for directional lighting. Do not force or bend the stem excessively.

Tip: For best light distribution, point the shade opening towards the area you wish to illuminate.

Bulb Replacement

WARNING! Always unplug the lamp and allow the bulb to cool completely before replacement.

  1. Unplug the lamp from the electrical outlet.
  2. Allow any old bulb to cool for at least 10 minutes if it was recently on.
  3. Gently grip the bulb (not the glass if hot) and turn it counterclockwise to remove it from the socket.
  4. Insert a new E27 base bulb (max 13W LED or equivalent). Screw it in clockwise by hand until snug. Do not over-tighten.
  5. Plug the lamp back in and test with the switch.

  2. Exterior Surfaces: Wipe the base and stem with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
