Using your Ayla table lamp is easy. First, you'll need to assemble it as per the instructions. Since the bulb isn't included, you should get a 7 - Watt LED bulb with a medium E26 base and T10 type. Simply screw the bulb into the socket. This lamp is for indoor use only, specifically in dry locations. To turn it on or off, use the on - off push switch located on the cord. When it comes to maintenance, just use a soft dry cloth to clean the lamp. Be careful as the lamp contains lead, which can cause cancer and reproductive problems, so avoid any direct contact with the lead - containing parts.
