Using your Band Together Table Lamp is easy. First, find a stable surface for it, like a bedside table or a side table in your living room. Then, plug it into a 110 - volt outlet. Insert a single TYPE A bulb into the 3 - way socket, and you're ready to light up your space. The 150 - watt bulb will give off a warm, inviting glow. When it comes to maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the crystal and wooden parts. Don't use harsh chemicals as they might damage the materials. For the fabric shade, a gentle vacuum with a soft brush attachment can help keep it clean. Just remember, this lamp contains nickel, which is a chemical that can be harmful, so always follow the California Prop 65 warning and keep it away from children and pets if possible.
