Frequently Asked Questions
How far does the arm reach?
Far enough to bring the light over a book or a desk from a wall mount, then fold back close when you are done. That range is the whole reason for a swing arm.
Does the arm stay where I put it?
Yes. The joint has enough friction to hold position under the weight of the head, so it does not creep down over an evening.
What does hardwired mean for installation?
It connects to a wall box rather than a plug, so an electrician fits it. In return you get no visible cable, which is what makes it look built in rather than added.
What height should it be mounted?
Beside a bed, roughly level with your shoulder when sitting up, so the light falls on the page. Over a desk, high enough that the arm clears the work surface.
How do I look after the joint?
Nothing beyond keeping it dusted with a dry cloth. Do not oil the pivot, since the friction is what holds the arm in place.
