Using your Rhodes Table Lamp is easy. First, find a stable surface to place it on. Then, insert a Type A bulb into the E - 26 socket. The 3 - way switch on the socket lets you choose different lighting levels. Just turn the switch to get the light you want. When it comes to safety, always make sure the lamp is unplugged before changing the bulb. Also, don't use a bulb with a wattage higher than 150 to avoid overheating. To keep your lamp looking great, clean the glass part with a soft, dry cloth. For the burlap shade, you can use a soft brush to gently remove dust. If the lamp gets dirty, you can wipe the metal parts with a slightly damp cloth, but be careful not to get the burlap shade wet. With proper care, your Rhodes Table Lamp will serve you well for a long time.
