Troubleshooting
Lamp does not turn on.
Check if the power cable is securely plugged into both the lamp and the wall outlet. 2. Verify that the wall outlet is functional by testing it with another device. 3. Ensure the E27 bulb is screwed in correctly and is not loose. 4. If the bulb is old, try replacing it with a new E27 bulb (max 60W).
Lamp arm does not hold position or sags.
The Anglepoise constant tension springs are designed for balance. If the arm is not holding, ensure no external weight is applied to the shade. If the issue persists, contact Anglepoise customer service, as this may indicate a need for professional assessment under the lifetime guarantee.
Light flickers during use.
Check if the bulb is securely tightened in its socket. A loose connection can cause flickering. 2. Try replacing the bulb with another E27 60W bulb to rule out a faulty bulb. 3. Ensure the power outlet is stable; try plugging the lamp into a different outlet.
Brass components appear tarnished or dull.
Gently polish the brass components with a soft, dry cloth specifically designed for polishing brass. Avoid liquid polishes that might damage the surrounding painted surfaces.
