Using your Arizona industrial steel lamp is a breeze. First, find a stable spot for it in your room. Make sure the surface can support the lamp's weight. Plug the 2 - prong polarized plug into a nearby electrical outlet. Then, use the inline rocker switch to turn the lamp on and off. You can use a single E26 or Type A bulb with a maximum wattage of 60. When it comes to maintenance, simply dust the lamp regularly with a soft, dry cloth to keep it looking its best. Since it has a silk shade, be gentle when cleaning it to avoid damage. Also, ensure that the lamp is UL certified for use in the US and Canada, so always follow standard electrical safety precautions. And remember, this lamp is designed for indoor use only.
