Using these table lamps is a breeze. First, find a suitable spot in your home where you'd like to place the lamps. Make sure the surface is flat and stable. Then, plug the lamp into a power outlet. Use the 3 - way switch to adjust the brightness according to your needs. You can choose from different levels of light to create the perfect atmosphere. When it comes to bulbs, you can use a 150 - watt A - type bulb or a 25 - watt CFL. Just make sure to turn off the lamp and let it cool down before changing the bulb. As for maintenance, gently dust the metal body and fabric shade regularly with a soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they may damage the lamp. If the fabric shade gets dirty, you can spot - clean it with a mild detergent and water. Always keep the lamps away from water and moisture to prevent any electrical hazards. Enjoy the warm and inviting light these lamps bring to your home!
