Using your Elk Bedford Table Lamp is easy. First, assemble it following the simple instructions. Make sure to place it in a dry indoor area like your living room or bedroom. To turn the lamp on, just pull the double pull - cord switches located at the socket to light up one or both of the LED bulbs. If you want to adjust the brightness, you'll need to buy a dimmer bulb and a compatible dimmer switch. When it comes to maintenance, gently dust the crystal and the white faux silk shade regularly with a soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the materials. Since the lamp contains lead and has Prop65 warnings, keep it out of reach of children and pregnant women. If you have any issues with the lamp, you're covered by a 1 - year limited warranty.
