Troubleshooting
View all →Common Failure Modes
Lamps are incredibly simple devices. Failures are usually limited to worn-out rotary switches or frayed power cords from being crushed by furniture.
Maintenance
View all →Check Cord and Plug
Lamp cords are often hidden behind furniture where they get pinched or chewed by pets. Inspecting the cord prevents electrical shock and fire risks.
Dust the Shade and Bulb
Dust acts as an insulator on bulbs causing them to overheat, and degrades the aesthetic of fabric shades. Routine dusting improves room lighting.
Tighten the Socket Shell
The metal or plastic shell holding the bulb can become loose from repeated switch use, leading to flickering and bad connections.
