To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, please observe the following:
- Do not operate the lamp with a damaged cord or plug.
- Do not use the lamp if it has been dropped or damaged.
- Always unplug the lamp from the electrical outlet before cleaning or changing the bulb.
- Do not touch the bulb directly after use, as it will be hot. Allow it to cool before handling.
- Use only a 35-watt halogen bulb as specified. Using a higher wattage bulb may cause overheating and fire.
- Keep the lamp away from flammable materials.
- This lamp is for indoor use only.
Setup
- Unpack: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Ensure all parts are present: lamp base, flexible gooseneck arm with lamp head, and 35-watt halogen bulb.
- Placement: Place the lamp base on a stable, flat surface. Ensure there is adequate space around the lamp for ventilation and to avoid contact with flammable materials.
- Install Bulb:
- Ensure the lamp is unplugged.
- Carefully insert the 35-watt halogen bulb into the socket within the lamp head. Avoid touching the glass part of the bulb with bare hands, as oils can reduce bulb life. Use a clean cloth or glove if necessary.
- Gently push the bulb firmly into the socket until it is seated correctly.
- Connect Power: Plug the lamp's power cord into a standard electrical outlet.
Operating Instructions
- Turning On/Off: Locate the inline on/off switch on the power cord. Slide the switch to the "ON" position to illuminate the lamp, and to the "OFF" position to turn it off.
- Adjusting Light Direction: The lamp features a flexible gooseneck design. Gently bend and position the gooseneck arm to direct the light beam to your desired area. Avoid excessive force or sharp bends to prevent damage.
