Specifications

Operation & Controls

Power ON/OFF: Use the in-line switch on the power cord. No separate dimmer function.

Adjustment: The lamp arm features two flexible joints. Gently bend the arm to direct light where needed. The shade can be tilted slightly for fine adjustment.

Energy Saving: The integrated LED has an estimated lifespan of 25,000 hours. Turns on instantly with full brightness.

Light Adjustment

For optimal task lighting:

  1. Position the lamp base so it is stable and the cord is not a tripping hazard.
  2. Bend the arm joints to raise or lower the light head.
  3. Tilt the shade to avoid glare on screens or reflective surfaces.
  4. The light should illuminate your work area without shining directly into your eyes.

Tip: For reading, position the shade so the bottom edge is at eye level.

Bulb Replacement

The included LED is non-replaceable by user. If light fails, the entire lamp head may need service.

If using a replaceable E14 bulb:

  1. Unplug the lamp and allow to cool.
  2. Gently unscrew the old bulb counterclockwise.
  3. Screw in a new E14 LED bulb (max 7W) clockwise. Do not overtighten.
  4. Plug in and test.

WARNING! Use only LED bulbs. Incandescent or halogen bulbs may overheat.

Care & Cleaning

Unplug lamp before cleaning.

  1. Use a soft, dry cloth to dust the shade and body.
  2. For stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth. Dry immediately.
  3. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or chemicals.

CAUTION! Never immerse the lamp in water. Do not spray cleaners directly onto the surface.
