- Maximum Wattage: Do not exceed 40W for the bulb.
- Power Source: Corded electric, controlled by an external wall switch.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your lamp.
- Cleaning: To clean the lamp, ensure the power is off. Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to gently wipe the surfaces. Do not use water, cleaning sprays, or abrasive materials, as these can damage the finish or electrical components.
- Bulb Replacement: Before replacing the bulb, always turn off the power supply at the main circuit breaker. Allow the old bulb to cool completely before unscrewing it. Screw in a new E27 bulb (max 40W) gently until secure. Restore power after replacement.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the lamp and its wiring for any signs of damage or wear. If any issues are found, disconnect power and consult a qualified electrician.
