Using this light is easy. Just place it on a stable surface like a table. Then, plug it into a power source and turn it on. When using, avoid placing it in very humid areas as it may damage the metal parts. To maintain it, use a dry cloth to wipe the glass and metal regularly. If there are stubborn stains on the glass, you can use a mild glass cleaner. For the metal, a simple metal polish can keep it shiny.
