The lamp features an integrated touch dimmer, allowing you to adjust the light intensity by simply touching the designated area on the fixture. This provides a seamless way to set the mood without the need for traditional knobs or switches.
No, the 548 Table Lamp comes with an integrated 11W LED. This ensures the light source is perfectly calibrated to the fixture's design, so you do not need to worry about sourcing compatible bulbs.
To maintain the finish, wipe the brass structure with a soft, dry cloth. The opaline methacrylate diffuser should be cleaned gently with a damp microfiber cloth to avoid scratching the surface.
