Using your Dillon Table Lamp is a breeze. First, find a suitable spot for it, like a side table in your living room or bedroom. Since it's great for coastal and rustic decor, it'll look amazing in those types of settings. Next, insert a Type A bulb into the E - 26 socket. Remember, the maximum bulb wattage is 150, so don't use a bulb that's too powerful. The 3 - way socket gives you different lighting levels, which you can control with the turn - key switch on the socket. When it comes to maintenance, gently dust the ceramic base with a soft, dry cloth to keep it looking its best. For the natural linen shade, use a lint roller to remove any dust or debris. Avoid getting the lamp wet, as it could damage the electrical components. And always make sure the lamp is unplugged before you do any cleaning. This lamp is UL/ETL and CUL approved, so you can use it with confidence, knowing it meets safety standards.
