Using this lamp is easy. First, make sure to use two 60W E26 medium base type A bulbs (you need to buy them separately). The double pull chain switch lets you turn each light on or off independently. You can place it anywhere in your home or commercial space to add a touch of style and light. As for maintenance, simply use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the metal base and glass shade. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could scratch the surfaces. There's no need to assemble the lamp, so you can start using it right away. Just enjoy the beautiful lighting and vintage look it brings to your space.
