Using your Louis Poulsen AJ Table Lamp is a piece of cake. First, find a nice spot on your sofa side, bedside, or desk. The lamp is lightweight, so it's easy to move around until you find the perfect position. Next, if you haven't already, insert a 60W A19 bulb into the socket. Since it's hard - wired, make sure it's properly connected to a power source. You can adjust the head of the lamp to direct the glare - free light exactly where you want it, like on your book when you're reading. As for maintenance, keep it in a dry place as it's only for dry locations. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the steel shade and shaft and the zinc base. If you're not satisfied with the lamp, don't worry, you can return it within 30 days according to our return policy.
