Using this shot table lamp set is easy. First, find a suitable spot in your man cave, den, or trophy room. Make sure the surface is flat and stable. Since the bulbs aren't included, you'll need to buy 150 - watt bulbs on your own and screw them into the lamp sockets. Then, plug the 6 - foot cord into a power outlet. You can use the 3 - way switch to adjust the brightness according to your needs. When it comes to maintenance, simply use a soft, dry cloth to dust the lamp and the shade regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they might damage the resin guns on the base or the natural - colored shade. Also, keep in mind that the plug isn't polarized, so be careful when plugging it in. And as the lamp is UL/ETL approved, you can rest assured about its safety.
