Maintenance and Care
- Cleaning: Disconnect the lamp from the power source before cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the lamp head, gooseneck, and clip. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these may damage the finish or electronic components.
- Storage: If storing the lamp for an extended period, ensure it is clean and dry. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Handling: While the gooseneck is flexible, avoid excessive force or sharp bends that could damage the internal wiring. Handle the lamp by its base or gooseneck, not by the lamp head or cable.
- Power Cable: Regularly inspect the USB cable for any signs of damage, such as fraying or exposed wires. If damage is found, discontinue use immediately and replace the cable if possible, or contact customer support.
