Using this table lamp is a breeze. First, find a stable spot for it, like a bedside table or a sideboard. Then, screw in the TYPE A bulb into the 3 - way socket. Plug it into a 110 - volt outlet and you're ready to enjoy its warm glow. When it comes to safety, be aware of the CA Prop 65 warning about nickel. Don't touch the bulb when it's on as it can get hot. For maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to dust the lamp regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals on the glass, crystal, or fabric parts as they can damage the finish. This way, your lamp will stay beautiful for a long time.
