Using the Imrie Table Lamp is easy. First, you'll need to assemble it as assembly is required. Once assembled, plug the lamp into a power outlet. You can turn the lamp on and off using the ON/OFF line switch. The lamp comes with an S14 bulb with a base type of E12, having a max wattage of 25 and a current wattage of 4, which gives off 420 lumens of light. It provides multi - directional light, so it's great for illuminating different parts of a room. When it comes to maintenance, always remember to disconnect the power before cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the lamp shade and fixture. Stay away from chemicals and household cleaners as they can harm the finish. Also, be aware that the lamp has some Prop 65 chemicals like DEHP and lead, which have associated health risks such as cancer, developmental, and reproductive issues.
