Troubleshooting
Lamp does not turn on.
Ensure the lamp is securely plugged into a working power outlet. Check that the bulb is correctly installed and not burnt out. Try a different bulb to confirm.
Cord reel is stiff or not functioning smoothly.
Unplug the lamp. Inspect the cord for any knots or tangles within the reel mechanism. Gently pull and retract the cord a few times to free it. Ensure no debris is obstructing the reel.
Light flickers intermittently.
This could be due to a loose bulb connection. Unplug the lamp, ensure the bulb is screwed in tightly. If the issue persists, the bulb may be failing or there might be an internal wiring issue.
Diffuser appears dirty or discolored.
Unplug the lamp and clean the diffuser with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution may be used, followed by rinsing with a clean damp cloth and drying.
