Using your Dillon Monkey Lamp is super easy. First, find a nice spot in your room for it. Make sure to use a Type B bulb with a maximum wattage of 25 as the lamp isn't designed for higher - wattage bulbs. The on/off switch is on the cord, so you can easily turn the light on and off. When it comes to safety, the lamp is UL/ETL and CUL approved, but still, don't place it near flammable materials. To keep your lamp looking great, dust the polyresin base regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For the oatmeal linen shade, use a gentle vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment to remove any dust. Avoid getting the lamp wet, especially the electrical parts like the socket and cord. If you need to move the lamp, hold it by the base to prevent any damage to the shade or the monkey figure.
