Use it as a shelf lamp, wall lamp or hanging lamp (fits in most Aladdin wall brackets and hangers). Add any Aladdin shade at any time (use proper shade ring).

Note: The blue on the mantle is a protective coating used in shipping. You must burn the blue coating off prior to use. (The mantle is white.) You can use the lamp with Aladdin's parchment shades (glass shades are not recommended because of the design of the lamp).

IMPORTANT:We recommend using only Aladdin lamp shades with your Aladdin lamp. Generally, Aladdin lamps produce more heat, which other shades may not be able to withstand and, as a result, break.
