The Harvard Antique Brassed Touch Table Lamp is designed for homeowners seeking to add classic charm and modern convenience to their living spaces, particularly in traditional or transitional interiors. Its key benefit is the effortless 4-stage touch dimming feature, allowing users to adjust brightness with a simple tap. A minor caveat is that bulbs are not included and require a specific E14 dimmable candle bulb.

FAQs

What type of bulb does this lamp use?

The lamp requires an E14 Small Edison Screw (SES) candle bulb, with a maximum wattage of 40W or its LED equivalent. For the touch dimming feature to work fully, a dimmable bulb is essential.

Do I need a special bulb for the touch dimmer?

Yes, to utilize the 4-stage touch dimming feature (Low, Medium, High, Off), you must use a dimmable E14 SES candle bulb. Non-dimmable bulbs will only allow the lamp to turn on and off.

How do I activate the touch dimmer?

Simply tap anywhere on the antique brass base of the lamp to cycle through the brightness settings. A single tap will turn it on to low, subsequent taps will increase brightness, and a final tap will turn it off.

Can I use an LED bulb with this lamp?

Yes, the lamp is fully compatible with dimmable LED alternatives that fit the E14 SES base and do not exceed the 40W equivalent wattage. Using a dimmable LED bulb is recommended for energy efficiency and optimal performance.

What are the dimensions of the lamp?

The Harvard Touch Table Lamp has a total height of approximately 35cm, making it suitable for various surfaces like bedside tables, consoles, or sideboards.

Is the antique brass finish prone to tarnishing?

The antique brass finish is designed for durability and a vintage aesthetic. Regular dusting with a soft cloth will help maintain its appearance. Avoid abrasive cleaners which can damage the finish.

Can I purchase this lamp as a pair?

Yes, the Harvard Touch Table Lamp is available as a standalone piece or in a symmetrical pair, allowing you to create a balanced lighting scheme.

Troubleshooting

Lamp does not turn on.

Ensure the lamp is securely plugged into a working power outlet. Check that the bulb is correctly screwed in and is not burnt out. Verify the bulb is compatible (E14 SES, dimmable).

Touch dimmer is unresponsive.

Confirm the bulb is dimmable; non-dimmable bulbs may prevent touch functionality. Ensure the bulb is correctly seated. Unplug the lamp for 30 seconds and plug it back in to reset the sensor.

Light flickers or is inconsistent.

Try a different dimmable E14 bulb, as the issue may lie with the bulb itself. Ensure the bulb wattage does not exceed the maximum recommended (40W or equivalent LED).

Base feels wobbly.

Ensure the lamp is on a flat surface. Check if any parts of the base appear loose; if so, contact customer support.
