Using your Dharma lamp is easy. Just insert a medium - base bulb into the socket and turn on the 3 - way switch to adjust the light as you like. Place it in your living room, bedroom, or study to create a cozy atmosphere. When cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the ceramic body and acrylic base. Avoid using abrasive materials that could scratch the surface. Keep the lamp away from water to prevent damage. If you need to replace the bulb, make sure the lamp is turned off and cooled down first. Enjoy the warm, inviting light this lamp provides for years to come.
