Controls and Operation

The lamp is operated via a single On/Off switch. No dimming or color adjustment is available on the base model.

Switch Location: Typically on the power cord or integrated into the base.

Operation: Press once to turn ON. Press again to turn OFF.

Positioning: Grip the gooseneck firmly and bend to desired shape. Adjust the light head by tilting up/down and rotating side-to-side.

Positioning & Adjustment

The flexible arm allows for a wide range of motion to direct light exactly where needed.

  1. For desk work: Position the lamp to the side or behind you to avoid glare on your work surface.
  2. For reading: Direct the light onto the book or e-reader from above or slightly to the side.
  3. For crafts: Bend the arm to bring the light close to your hands without obstructing movement.
  4. Locking position: The gooseneck will hold its shape once released.

Tip: Avoid bending the gooseneck at extreme angles repeatedly to prolong its life.

Maintenance & Bulb Replacement

This model features an integrated LED light source designed to last for years. It is not user-replaceable.

  1. If the LED fails: The entire lamp unit may need to be replaced, as the LED is not a serviceable part.
  2. Power check: If the lamp does not light, first check the outlet and power cord.

WARNING! Do not attempt to disassemble the light head. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Risk of electric shock.
