Troubleshooting
Lamp does not turn on.
Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into both the lamp and a functional wall outlet. Check the light bulb to ensure it is screwed in properly and is not faulty. Try a different bulb if necessary. Confirm the power switch on the lamp is in the 'on' position.
Light flickers or is dim.
Check the light bulb; it may be loose or nearing the end of its life. Replace the bulb with a new one of the recommended wattage. Ensure the lamp's plug is fully seated in the electrical outlet. If using a dimmer, ensure it is compatible with the lamp and bulb type.
Arm or shade does not hold position.
The constant tension springs are designed for precision. If the arm doesn't hold, ensure it's not overloaded with an incompatible shade or attachment (which is not recommended). For issues with the spring mechanism, contact customer support; do not attempt to repair it yourself.
Lamp wobbles or is unstable.
Ensure the lamp is placed on a flat, stable surface. Check the base for any debris that might prevent it from sitting flush. If parts feel loose, gently check any visible screws on the base, but avoid over-tightening or disassembling.
