What is 'constant spring technology'?
This patented technology uses a system of springs to perfectly balance the lamp's arms and shade, allowing for effortless repositioning and ensuring it holds its desired position without slipping or needing tightening.
Troubleshooting
Lamp won't turn on.
- Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a functioning electrical outlet. 2. Verify that the light switch on the lamp is in the 'on' position. 3. Check if the bulb is correctly seated and not loose. If these steps don't work, try replacing the bulb with a known working one.
Light flickers or is dim.
- Gently tighten the bulb to ensure good contact. 2. If flickering persists, replace the bulb; the included bulb may have reached the end of its life or be faulty. 3. Check for any loose connections in the power cord.
Lamp arm doesn't hold its position perfectly.
The constant spring technology is designed for perfect balance. Ensure all joints are clean and free of obstructions. If issues persist, refer to the lifetime guarantee for support, as this indicates a potential issue with the spring mechanism.
Scratches or blemishes on the finish.
Prevent further damage by always using soft cloths for cleaning and dusting. Avoid sharp objects near the lamp. For existing minor scratches on the gloss finish, specialist automotive scratch repair products might offer a solution, but test on an inconspicuous area first. For significant damage, contact Anglepoise customer service.
