FAQs
What type of light bulb does the Kaiser Idell Table Lamp use?
The lamp typically uses an E27 bulb base. It is recommended to use LED bulbs for energy efficiency and longevity, with a maximum wattage specified on the product label or in the manual (often around 60W equivalent for LED).
How do I adjust the lamp's arm and head?
The lamp features an articulated arm and a patented swivel joint. You can manually adjust the angle and position of the arm and lamp head by gently moving them to your desired setting. The joints are designed to hold their position once set.
Is the white finish prone to staining?
The white finish is designed for durability. Minor marks can usually be wiped away with a soft, slightly damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a very mild, non-abrasive cleaner might be used cautiously, followed by wiping with a clean damp cloth and drying.
What are the dimensions of the lamp?
Specific dimensions can vary slightly, but generally, the base is stable, and the height and reach are designed for optimal desk coverage. Please refer to the product's technical specifications for exact measurements.
Can I use this lamp for reading in bed?
While designed for task lighting, its adjustability makes it suitable for reading in bed, provided it can be stably positioned on a nightstand or bedside table and directed towards your book without disturbing others.
What is the warranty period for this lamp?
Fritz Hansen typically offers a warranty on their products. Please refer to the official Fritz Hansen warranty information or your purchase receipt for the specific warranty duration and terms applicable to this lamp.
Troubleshooting
Lamp does not turn on
Ensure the lamp is securely plugged into a working outlet. Check that the light bulb is correctly installed and not burnt out. Try a different light bulb known to be functional.
Light flickers
This could indicate a loose bulb, a faulty bulb, or an issue with the power connection. Ensure the bulb is tight. If flickering persists, try a new bulb. Check the power cord for any damage.
Lamp head or arm droops unexpectedly
The joints may need tightening. Refer to the product manual for instructions on how to adjust the tension in the articulated arm and swivel mechanisms. Avoid over-tightening.
Shade is difficult to position
Ensure no internal obstructions are present. Gently flex the arm joints to ensure smooth movement. If stiffness persists, a very slight application of a suitable lubricant on the joint pivot points might be considered, but use sparingly and refer to manufacturer guidance.
