Maintenance Tips
  • Clean regularly with a soft, dry microfiber cloth to remove dust and prevent buildup on the shade and brass parts.
  • Avoid harsh chemicals, alcohol, or abrasive pads, which can damage the painted aluminum and brass finish.
  • Gently wipe brass components only; the surface is designed to naturally develop a patina over time.
  • Use only the recommended LED bulb (2700K, ~10W equivalent) to prevent overheating and ensure long lifespan.
  • Check mounting screws and wall fixture periodically to ensure the lamp remains secure and stable.
  • If dimming is used, ensure compatibility with a proper LED-compatible dimmer switch to avoid flickering or driver damage.
  • Do not spray water directly—clean only with a lightly damp cloth if needed, then dry immediately.
