Using your Falling Stars Table Lamp is easy. First, assemble it as an adult with the provided tools. Once assembled, find a suitable spot for it in your room. You'll need to buy a 60 - watt A19 incandescent bulb separately and screw it into the lamp. Use the in - line rotary switch to turn the light on and off. If you want to adjust the brightness, you'll need to get a dimmer. When it comes to maintenance, use warm water and mild soap with a soft towel to clean the lamp. Don't stack it on other items as it's not stackable. Keep it away from water sources to avoid electrical hazards and make sure it operates at 120V to work properly.
