Using your Hadley lamp is a breeze. First, find a stable surface for it in your stylish interior. Then, screw in a medium - base bulb with a maximum wattage of 100. You can adjust the light intensity using the 3 - way switch. When cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the clear crystal vase and the antique brass base. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they may scratch the surfaces. For the off - white silkette shade, you can use a soft brush to remove dust. Keep the lamp away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading of the shade. Also, make sure the surface where you place the lamp can support its 15.2 - pound weight. With proper care, your Hadley lamp will enhance your interior for years to come.
