Is the bulb included with the lamp?

No, the bulb is not included with the Flos Mayday lamp. You will need to purchase a compatible bulb separately.

How do I clean the Mayday lamp?

Unplug the lamp. Gently wipe the polypropylene diffuser and body with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals to prevent damage to the material.

Can the Mayday lamp be used outdoors?

What is the length of the power cord?

The specific length of the power cord can vary, but the design includes a handle that acts as a cord reel, allowing you to manage and store excess length. Please check the product specifications for precise cord length details.

How do I hang the lamp?

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.
