Using your Handmade Artisan W5 Pendant Lamp is easy. First, you'll need to hard - wire it with the canopy into the ceiling. Make sure to hire a professional electrician for this job to ensure safety. Then, you can screw in an E26 bulb with a maximum of 60 watts (you'll need to buy the bulb separately). The lamp provides a broad, downward light, perfect for illuminating a room. The diffuser is easy to remove. You can take it off for cleaning or if you want a different lighting effect. For maintenance, simply wipe the lamp with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they can damage the finish of the spun aluminum or copper shade and the fabric - covered cord. If you're not satisfied with your purchase, you can return it within 30 days under our return policy.
