Using your Noah Table Lamp is a breeze. First, find a stable spot for it, like a bedside table or a sideboard. Make sure to use a Type A bulb with a maximum wattage of 150W. You'll need to buy the bulb separately as it's not included. To turn the lamp on or off, just use the turn - key switch on the socket. When it comes to maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the glass body and the brass parts. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they might scratch the surface. For the linen shade, if it gets dirty, you can gently vacuum it. Always unplug the lamp before cleaning to ensure your safety. This lamp is UL/ETL and CUL approved, so you can use it with confidence, but keep it away from water and flammable materials.
