How do I clean the grey aluminum shade?

Troubleshooting
Lamp does not turn on
Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into both the lamp and a working electrical outlet. Check if the light bulb is screwed in correctly and is not burnt out. Test with a different, compatible bulb.
Light flickers
This could be due to a loose bulb connection or an incompatible bulb. Tighten the bulb or try a different, recommended bulb. Check the power connection.
Head adjustment is stiff
Ensure there is no obstruction around the joint. Gently move the head back and forth. If stiffness persists, check for dust buildup at the joint and clean with a dry cloth. Avoid forcing the adjustment.
