Specifications

Controls and Operation

Operation is simple via the inline switch on the power cord.

Switch: Flip the inline switch to ON (I) for light, OFF (O) to turn off.

Note: There are no dimming or color temperature controls built into the lamp. Use a compatible dimmable LED bulb and external dimmer switch if dimming is desired.

Tip: For best performance and energy savings, use an ENERGY STAR® qualified LED bulb.

Bulb Replacement

Replace the bulb when it burns out or for a different light effect.

  1. Turn off and unplug: Always disconnect power before replacing the bulb.
  2. Let bulb cool: Allow the old bulb to cool completely if it was recently on.
  3. Remove old bulb: Unscrew the old bulb counterclockwise.
  4. Insert new bulb: Screw in a new max 13W E26/E27 LED bulb clockwise until snug.
  5. Restore power: Plug in the lamp and test with the switch.

WARNING! Do not exceed the maximum wattage. Using a higher wattage bulb can cause overheating and fire hazard.

Placement & Usage

  1. Ensure the surface is stable and level.
  2. Keep away from water sources (sinks, baths) to avoid electric shock.

Tip: Pair with a warm white LED bulb (2700K-3000K) for a cozy ambient light.
