Using your new IR930 Gold Table Lamp is easy. First, find a suitable spot in your room. Make sure it's a dry area as the lamp is UL - listed for dry locations only. Next, screw in a bulb (not included) that meets the up - to - 250 - watt requirement. You can use the 3 - way switch to adjust the brightness according to your needs. If you want to change the look of your lamp, you can easily swap out the white linen shade as they are interchangeable. When it comes to maintenance, gently dust the iron base and the linen shade regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals on the lamp, as they might damage the gold leaf finish or the linen fabric. With proper care, your lamp will keep adding charm to your space for a long time.
