Using the Shobu Table Lamp is easy. First, you'll need to assemble it as per the instructions included. Then, find a suitable spot for it, like on a bedside table or a desk. Next, insert an A19 bulb into the E26 socket. Remember, the bulb is not included, and it should be a MAX 40W one. You can adjust the brightness as it's dimmable. When it comes to maintenance, it's simple. Just use mild soap and warm water to clean the lamp. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the powder - coated steel finish. And always make sure the lamp is unplugged before cleaning or assembling it.
