Using your Gibson Table Lamp is easy. First, assemble it as required according to the included instructions. Once assembled, plug it into a power source. The on/off switch on the cord lets you control the light. You can use the included LED T45 4W bulb, or if you prefer, you can use a Type 'A' 40W, CFL 13W, or LED A19 9W bulb within the max wattage limit. When it comes to maintenance, always unplug the lamp before cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the lamp and shade. Avoid using chemicals or household cleaners as they can damage the finish. Be aware that the lamp contains chemicals like Dehp and Lead, which may cause cancer, developmental, and reproductive issues, so handle it with care. Enjoy the elegant glow this lamp brings to your modern space!
