2. Setup and Assembly
Follow these steps to assemble your OttLite L24554 Task Plus Floor Lamp:
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging. Ensure all components are present: lamp head with flexible neck, main pole, base, and any included hardware (e.g., a bolt for the base).
- Attach Base to Pole: Place the lamp base on a flat, stable surface. Insert the bottom end of the main pole into the opening on the base. Secure the pole to the base using the provided bolt, tightening it firmly by hand or with a suitable tool if necessary. Avoid over-tightening.
- Connect Lamp Head: The lamp head with the flexible neck is typically pre-attached to the upper part of the main pole. If not, carefully connect it according to the visual guides or notches.
- Install Bulb: The lamp may come with the bulb pre-installed. If not, gently screw the E26 base bulb (24-watt maximum) into the lamp socket. Ensure it is seated correctly but do not overtighten.
- Position the Lamp: Place the assembled lamp in your desired location. Ensure the power cord is not pinched or obstructed.
- Plug In: Insert the power plug into a standard 120V AC electrical outlet.

3. Operating Instructions
Operating your OttLite L24554 Task Plus Floor Lamp is straightforward:
- Power On/Off: The lamp features a touch switch. Locate the switch on the lamp head or pole (refer to your specific model for exact placement). Tap or press the switch to turn the lamp on or off.
- Adjusting Light Position: The lamp is equipped with a flexible neck. Gently bend and position the lamp head to direct the light precisely where needed. The sturdy base ensures stability even when the neck is adjusted.
