4. Operating Instructions
Power On/Off and Dimming
- Power Button: Locate the power button on the lamp head. Press once to turn the light on or off.
- Dimmer Switch: The dimmer switch provides seven adjustable illumination levels. Press the dimmer button repeatedly to cycle through the brightness settings.
- Smart Dimming Memory: The light features smart dimming memory, which saves the last selected lighting level even after the light has been shut off.
Occupancy Sensor
The Element Disk Task Light is equipped with a built-in PIR occupancy sensor. This sensor automatically turns the unit off when the user is not in the area and turns it back on when the user returns, promoting energy efficiency.
- The sensor detects presence within its range. If no presence is detected for a period, the light will automatically turn off.
- Upon detecting presence again, the light will automatically turn back on to the last remembered brightness setting.
Adjustability and Positioning
The lamp's internal counterbalance system allows for effortless, one-touch positioning. You can easily adjust the height, angle, and reach of the light head to direct illumination precisely where needed. When not in use, the Element Disk folds into a compact nesting position for easy storage and a clean desk appearance.
Integrated Power Ports
The desktop base includes convenient power ports for charging your devices:
- Two USB Ports: Use these ports to charge smartphones, tablets, and other USB-powered devices.
- One Power Outlet (120VAC 8AMPS MAX): Provides a standard electrical outlet for powering other small electronic devices.

- LED Care: The LED light source is designed for long life and does not require replacement. Do not attempt to open the lamp head or replace the LEDs.
