Using your Daybreak Table Lamp is easy. First, you'll need to assemble it. Put together the shade, harp, and finial. Then, find a suitable spot for your lamp. Make sure to use a bulb that fits the E26 base type and doesn't exceed 150 watts. Just plug the 8 - foot clear cord into a 120 - volt outlet and use the 3 - way switch to adjust the light. When it comes to taking care of your lamp, wipe it clean with a soft, dry cloth or a static duster. Avoid using harsh or abrasive cleaners as they can damage the enameled finish and the stone linen shade. Remember, this lamp has some unique imperfections in the metal, which give it character. Also, be aware that it can expose you to chemicals like lead, so check out www.P65Warnings.ca.gov for more information. Jamie Young Company offers a one - year warranty, so if there are any defects, they'll replace the parts for you. But normal wear and damages caused by you aren't covered.
