Using your Forsyth table lamp is easy. First, assemble it according to the instructions. It only requires simple assembly. Then, screw in a medium - E26 base A21 bulb with a 150 - watt capacity (or a 40 - watt equivalent). Plug the 66 - inch clear cord into a 120 - volt outlet. You can control the light using the 3 - way switch on the socket. Remember, this lamp is for indoor use only. Keep it away from direct sunlight and moisture to prevent damage to the glass and the fabric shade. To clean the glass orbs, use a soft, damp cloth. For the matte black base, you can use a mild cleaner and a dry cloth. The white linen fabric shade can be gently vacuumed to remove dust. With proper care, your lamp will last for a long time, thanks to the 1 - year limited warranty.
