Operating Instructions
Powering On/Off
To turn the lamp ON, simply lift the lamp head to its upright position. The lamp will automatically illuminate. To turn the lamp OFF, gently fold the lamp head down until it is fully closed. The light will extinguish.
Adjusting Height and Position
The lamp's shade can be effortlessly maneuvered to adjust its height from 11.5 inches to 19.5 inches. The built-in 360-degree swiveling 5-inch base allows you to easily rotate the lamp to direct light precisely where needed.
Using the Magnifier
The integrated 2x Optical Grade Magnifier is designed for precise tasks. It can be pulled out from either side of the lamp head and positioned over your work area. When not in use, the magnifier stores neatly inside the shade.
Bulb Replacement
The lamp uses an easy-to-replace 13-watt Type E bulb, designed to last up to 10,000 hours. To replace the bulb, ensure the lamp is unplugged and cool. Gently remove the old bulb by pulling it straight out. Insert the new Type E bulb by aligning the pins and pushing it firmly into the socket until it is secure.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: To clean the lamp, ensure it is unplugged and cool. Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Magnifier Care: Clean the magnifier lens with a soft, lint-free cloth. For stubborn smudges, a small amount of lens cleaner can be applied to the cloth, not directly to the lens.
- Storage: When not in use for extended periods, fold the lamp into its compact position and store it in a dry, safe place, ideally in its original packaging.
