Using the Gemini Table Lamp is easy. First, assemble it according to the instructions since assembly is required. Once assembled, find a great spot for it in your minimalist living space, like beside your sofa. You can even use two lamps for a more dramatic look. To turn it on or off, use the ON/OFF line switch. The lamp comes with a G14 bulb that has a max wattage of 40 and provides 420 lumens of light. When it's time to clean the lamp, always remember to unplug it first. Then, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the lamp and the shade. Don't use any chemicals or household cleaners because they can damage the finish. The lamp is from China and is UL - certified, but be aware that it contains chemicals like DEHP and lead which may cause cancer, developmental, and reproductive issues.
