Using this table lamp is a breeze. First, find a suitable spot for it, like on a bedside table or a side table in your living room. If you have CFL or LED bulbs, simply screw them into the sockets - just make sure they are 60W E26 medium base type A bulbs (which are not included). Then, use the double pull - chain switches to turn on each light separately as you need. Since there's no assembly required, you can start using it right away. For maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the metal body and the white shade regularly to keep it clean. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they might damage the finish. When not in use, turn off the lamps to save energy. If you plan to use it commercially, it can withstand regular use, but still, handle it with care. Also, remember that you'll get the exact product according to the options you choose on the page.
