Learn how to set up and use the UMAGE Forget Me Not single lamp set, a portable battery lamp that brings Nordic warmth to any room.

Quick answer

Set up your UMAGE Forget Me Not single lamp set by attaching the oak veneer shade to the included Rosette Mini cord set, then choose between hanging it as a pendant or using it as a portable battery lamp.

Why Choose the Forget Me Not as a Portable Lamp

The Forget Me Not lamp set is designed for flexibility. The organic oak veneer shade adds warmth to any corner, while the included Rosette Mini cord set lets you switch between a fixed pendant and a battery-powered portable lamp. This makes it ideal for spaces without overhead wiring or for renters who want lighting without permanent installation.

Hanging vs. Placing: What Works Best

Hanging the Forget Me Not as a pendant creates a focal point above a dining table or reading nook. Using it as a portable battery lamp lets you move it from shelf to side table as needed. The trade-off: the pendant setup requires a ceiling hook or track, while the battery option limits runtime and needs occasional recharging.

How to Set Up and Use the Forget Me Not Single Lamp Set

Unbox and inspect the components: Open the box and check that you have the Forget Me Not lampshade, the Rosette Mini single cord set, and the Tiny Idea battery module (if included). Ensure no cracks or splinters on the oak veneer shade. Common mistake: discarding the small parts bag with the battery module. Keep all components until setup is complete.
Attach the shade to the cord set: Slide the Rosette Mini cord set through the top opening of the Forget Me Not shade until the metal ring sits flush inside the shade. Tighten the locking ring by hand—do not use tools, as overtightening can crack the veneer. Checkpoint: The shade should rotate freely without wobbling. If it feels loose, hand-tighten a quarter turn more.
Choose your power source: For a fixed pendant, connect the cord set to a ceiling junction box or track adapter. For portable use, insert the Tiny Idea battery module into the cord set's plug end and switch it on. Common mistake: using the battery module while the cord is still plugged into a wall outlet. Only use one power source at a time to avoid damage.
Position the lamp: Hang the pendant from a ceiling hook at least 30 inches above a table surface. For portable use, place the lamp on a stable shelf or side table where it won't be knocked over. Checkpoint: Ensure the cord or battery module is not stretched tight. A relaxed loop prevents strain on the connection points.
Test and adjust brightness: Turn the lamp on using the switch on the cord set or battery module. If the light is too dim or bright, reposition the shade's angle by gently rotating it on the ring—the organic shape diffuses light differently depending on orientation. Common mistake: expecting the battery lamp to match the brightness of a wired pendant. The portable mode is best for accent or mood lighting.
