Using your new table lamp is a breeze. First, make sure you have two 60W E26 medium base type A bulbs (not included) and screw them into the sockets. Then, use the double pull - chain switch to turn on each light separately. Place the lamp in any room where you need some soft, warm lighting. Whether it's your living room, bedroom, or even a commercial space, it'll fit right in. As for maintenance, just use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the metal base and the glass shade to keep them looking their best. Keep in mind that this lamp is fully compatible with CFL and LED bulbs, so you can choose the type of lighting that suits your needs. And don't worry about assembly, as it comes ready to use right out of the box.
