Using your Moira Table Lamp is easy. First, find a suitable spot in your home for it. Make sure the surface is flat and stable. Since the bulbs aren't included, you'll need to buy a Type A bulb with a maximum wattage of 150. Screw the bulb into the E - 26 socket. The lamp has a 3 - way socket, and you can control the light levels with the turn - key switch on the socket. The cord is 6 feet long and comes out from the base. Just plug it into a polarized outlet. When it comes to maintenance, gently dust the resin base and the faux - silk shade regularly to keep them looking great. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the lamp's finish. If the lamp gets dirty, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe it down. Also, always make sure the lamp is unplugged before cleaning it for safety. This lamp is UL/ETL and CUL approved, so you can use it with confidence.
