4. Setup

Follow these steps to set up your Artemide Tolomeo lamp:

1. Attach the Clamp Base: Securely attach the clamp base to a stable surface, such as a desk or shelf edge. Ensure the surface thickness is compatible with the clamp's opening. Tighten the clamp screw firmly to prevent wobbling.
2. Insert the Arm: Insert the base of the articulated arm into the designated slot on the clamp base. Ensure it is fully seated and stable.
3. Install the Bulb: With the lamp unplugged, carefully screw an E26 (medium base) A19 compatible incandescent, compact fluorescent, or LED bulb (max 100W) into the lamp head socket. Do not overtighten.

5. Operating Instructions

The Artemide Tolomeo lamp is designed for intuitive use:

• Power On/Off: The lamp features a touch control switch located on the lamp head. Simply touch the designated area on the lamp head to turn the light on or off.
• Adjusting the Arm: The articulated arm allows for extensive movement. Gently move the arm to position the light exactly where needed. The tension control knobs at the joints can be adjusted to increase or decrease the stiffness of the arm's movement.
• Adjusting the Shade: The lamp shade can rotate 360 degrees, allowing you to direct the light beam precisely.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance will help preserve the appearance and functionality of your lamp:

• Cleaning: Disconnect the lamp from power before cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the aluminum surfaces. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth with mild soap can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Bulb Replacement: Ensure the lamp is unplugged and the bulb has cooled down completely. Unscrew the old bulb and replace it with a new E26 A19 compatible bulb (max 100W).
• Joint Tension: Periodically check the tension control knobs on the arm joints. If the arm feels too loose or too stiff, gently adjust the knobs to achieve the desired resistance.
