Function Description:

The Bellevue AJ7 lamp serves as an indoor lighting fixture. Its primary function is to provide illumination, with the added feature of an adjustable shade to direct light as desired. The lamp is designed to be fully assembled upon delivery, requiring only the installation of a light bulb and plugging it into a wall socket for operation.

Design Year: 1929
Intended Use: Indoor only
Bulb Type: E27
Maximum Wattage: 25W

Materials: The lamp is constructed from solid brass and lacquered aluminum. The brass component is uncoated, which means it will naturally develop a unique patina over time.

Switch: Integrated switch on the cord for power control.

Usage Features:

Ease of Installation: The lamp is delivered fully assembled, simplifying the setup process. Users only need to install an E27 bulb and plug the lamp into a wall socket.
Adjustable Lighting: The flexible swan-neck is a significant feature, allowing users to easily adjust the angle of the lamp shade. This enables directional lighting, making it suitable for various tasks or ambient lighting needs.
On/Off Control: A convenient switch located on the cord provides straightforward control over the lamp's power.
Safety Precaution for Adjustment: It is recommended to adjust the shade's angle before turning the lamp on, as the shade can become hot after prolonged use.
Child Safety: Users are advised to dispose of plastic packaging bags to prevent children from playing with them and to ensure the cable is not placed within reach of small children or in areas where it poses a tripping hazard.
Damage Protocol: In case the external cable or cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or a similarly qualified person to avoid hazards.
Environmental Consideration: The lamp is designed for indoor use only.

Maintenance Features:

Cleaning Materials: For cleaning the lamp shade's surface, a soft, damp sponge or cloth is recommended, followed by immediate wiping with a dry cloth. For the inside of the shade, a soft, damp cloth or feather duster should be used.
Material-Specific Care: The lamp's solid brass components are uncoated and will develop a natural patina over time, contributing to its unique aesthetic.
Prohibited Cleaning Agents: To prevent damage, users must avoid abrasive cleaning tools such as steel wool, scouring sponges, or stiff brushes. Strong cleaning agents like white spirit, turpentine, household glass cleaner, or cellulose thinners should also not be used.
General Care: The manual emphasizes that the product should not be modified in any way. It also advises against placing the cable where there is a risk of falling over.
Heat Precaution: The lamp shade can become hot after prolonged use, which is an important consideration during handling and adjustment.
