Using your new table lamp is a breeze. First, find a suitable spot for it in your home, like next to your favorite chair or on a bedside table. Plug the lamp into a power outlet. Then, use the 3 - way switch to adjust the light brightness according to your needs. You can choose between low, medium, and high settings. When it comes to bulbs, you can use either a 150 - watt A - type bulb or a 25 - watt CFL. For maintenance, gently dust the metal body and fabric shade regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they may damage the lamp. Also, make sure to turn off the lamp and unplug it before changing the bulb. This will keep your lamp looking great and working well for a long time.
