For Your Safety

  • Use only the supplied power adapter and connect only to suitable outlet power (100-240V AC, 50-60 Hz). Otherwise the lamp will fail to work normally or result in a fire hazard.
  • In order to prevent any damages to the lamp, do not hang or place any objects on the lamp.
  • Route the power cord so as to avoid it from being walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against it.
  • Place the lamp only on a solid, flat and stable surface. Otherwise the lamp may topple over and result in damages.
  • If the lamp will not be used for a long period of time, unplug it from the power outlet.
  • The light source contained in this luminaire can’t be replaced.

CAUTION

  • In case of the following situations, unplug the lamp from the power outlet immediately and contact the authorized service center or a qualified service person for inspection or repair:
    – When the outer casing of the lamp is broken
    – When there are strange odors coming from the lamp
    – When the LED light source flickers
    – When the insulation of the lamp’s wiring is damaged or frayed, and the metal strings inside can be seen

  • Do not use the lamp in a humid environment (like in a bathroom or outdoors).
    Otherwise the components inside may short-circuit and result in accidents.

  • This lamp is designed for indoor use only. Do not use it outdoors.

  • Never disassemble the lamp or remove any components from it, as doing so may result in accidents and will void the product warranty.

Installation

Pedestal Base

  1. Place the pedestal base on a solid, flat and stable surface.

  2. Insert the shaft on the pedestal base into the hole on the end of the lamp arm [Figure A 1 ] and then secure it by tightening the screw [Figure A 2 ].
    • Be sure to tighten the screw to secure the pedestal base to the lamp arm. Otherwise the pedestal base will detach from the lamp arm and result in damages or personal injuries if the lamp is unwittingly moved by grasping the lamp arm.
    • Use only the pedestal base supplied in the packaging to ensure that the lamp can stand firmly.

  3. Connect the power cord to the power input socket and power adapter [Figure A 3 ] and plug it into a power outlet [Figure A 4 ]. When the power is plugged, the lamp will automatically turn ON.

 Upon receiving power from the power outlet, the lamp’s built-in presence sensor will start to calibrate automatically, and the process will take approximately 1 minute. Please DO NOT turn off the lamp during the calibration process. You can start using the lamp when the calibration is complete.

Function

  • Do not block the presence sensor on the lamp. Otherwise the presence detection function will not work properly.
  • When the presence detection function is on, the lamp will turn off automatically to save power if you leave the detection area for 30 minutes.
  • With the presence detection function turned on, the lamp will automatically calibrate the Presence sensor when power is connected to the lamp or when the lamp is turned off. The calibration process takes approximately 40 seconds. During calibration, the Lighting mode indicator will light up green and orange alternately, and the presence detection function will be disabled temporarily.
  • To ensure normal operation of the presence detection function, please keep the lamp away from strong electromagnetic sources (like a Wi-Fi router).

Toggling Preset/Manual Lighting Modes

  • Blue: The illuminance condition is too bright. Please decrease the lamp’s brightness level.
  • When the lamp is turned off, the illuminance indicator will still light up in red, green or blue to indicate the illuminance condition of the desktop.
  • If the lamp is left on for 30 minutes, the Illuminance indicator will flash (in red, green or blue) to remind you that your eyes need a rest after a 30-minute reading.

USB Charging
The USB Type A port on the lamp arm provides 5V/0.5A (500mA) power supply to charge compatible mobile devices. Connect the device’s USB charging connector to the USB port to charge the device [ Figure F ].
The USB charging port is designed for charging compatible mobile devices only. Do NOT connect any external power supply to this port.

  • Do not rinse the lamp or any of its components directly with water.
  • If the lamp does not turn on, check to make sure that there are no loose connections between the power cord, power adapter, and the power outlet.
  • If the problem persists, please contact the original place of purchase for help.
