Controls and Operation

The lamp is operated solely via the in-line switch on the power cord.

Switch Operation: Press the button on the switch to toggle between ON and OFF states. The lamp will remember the last state when plugged in.

Note: This model does not feature adjustable brightness or color settings. The integrated LED provides fixed warm white light.

Placement & Usage

Designed for indoor use on tables, desks, nightstands, or shelves.

  1. Ensure the surface is stable, dry, and level.
  2. Keep away from water, humidity, and heat sources (e.g., radiators, stoves).
  3. Do not place where the cord can be tripped over or pinched.
  4. Maintain at least 10 cm (4 inches) clearance around the lamp for ventilation.

Tip: Use as task lighting for reading or as ambient lighting in living spaces.

Replacing the Light Source

This model typically uses an integrated, non-replaceable LED. If the LED fails, the entire lamp may need replacement.

For models with a replaceable E26/E27 socket:

  1. Unplug the lamp and allow to cool if it was recently on.
  2. Remove the shade (if necessary) by twisting or unclipping.
  3. Unscrew the old bulb counterclockwise and dispose of it properly.
  4. Screw in a new LED bulb of equivalent specifications (max 7W, E26/E27 base).
  5. Reattach the shade and plug in the lamp.

WARNING! Never use a bulb with higher wattage than recommended. Do not touch the LED with bare hands; use a cloth if necessary.

Safety Information

Read all instructions before use. Keep for future reference.

Care & Cleaning

Unplug the lamp and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.

  1. Base & Shade: Wipe with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn spots, use a slightly damp cloth. Do not immerse in water.
  2. Fabric Shade: Use a vacuum with a soft brush attachment to remove dust. Do not use chemicals or detergents.
  3. Cord & Switch: Wipe with a dry cloth. Ensure no moisture enters the switch housing.
