FAQs
What type of light bulb is recommended for the Walter Table Lamp?

Can I use LED bulbs with this lamp?
You can use dimmable LED bulbs, but ensure they are compatible with rotary dimmer switches, as some LEDs may flicker or not dim properly. Always check the bulb's specifications for dimmer compatibility.
What are the available finishes and shade options?
The lamp is available with a choice of satin brass or satin copper finishes, and paired with either opal or anthracite glass shades.
Is the Walter Table Lamp available in different sizes?

How should I clean the metallic parts of the lamp?
Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to clean the metallic base and stem. For any persistent marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying to prevent water spots or tarnishing.
Troubleshooting
Lamp does not turn on.
Ensure the lamp is securely plugged into a working outlet. Check that the light bulb is correctly screwed in and is not burnt out. Test the dimmer switch to ensure it is functioning.
Dimmer is not working or flickers.
Verify that the installed bulb is dimmable. Some LED bulbs may not be compatible with older dimmer types. Try a different compatible bulb. Ensure the bulb is fully screwed in.
Glass shade is loose.
Carefully tighten any retaining screws or rings holding the glass shade in place. Do not overtighten to avoid damaging the glass or fitting.
Surface finish appears dull or tarnished.
Clean the affected area with a soft, dry cloth. For persistent dullness, use a specialized metal polish suitable for the specific finish (e.g., brass or copper), applying sparingly and buffing gently.
