Assembly Instructions
Assembly of the IKEA Holmo Floor Lamp is straightforward and typically requires no special tools. Follow these steps:
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging. Lay them out on a clean, flat surface to ensure nothing is missing or damaged.
- Attach Pole to Base: Screw the bottom section of the lamp pole into the heavy base until secure. Do not overtighten.
- Assemble Pole Sections: If the pole comes in multiple sections, carefully screw them together, ensuring the electrical cord passes through smoothly.
- Install Bulb Socket: Ensure the bulb socket is firmly attached to the top of the pole.
- Attach Shade Expander: Place the shade expander (wire frame) onto the bulb socket assembly.
- Position Rice Paper Shade: Gently slide the rice paper shade over the expander and down the pole. Ensure it sits evenly and is not creased or torn. The shade is delicate; handle with care.
- Insert Light Bulb: Screw an E26 base light bulb into the socket. IKEA recommends an opal LED bulb for even, diffused light (e.g., LEDARE LED bulb E26 400 lumen or equivalent).
- Connect to Power: Plug the lamp into a suitable electrical outlet.
