How to adjust your Jieldé Lamp: A step-by-step guide

Handcrafted Jieldé lamps are truly unique pieces of lighting craftsmanship. Thanks to their artisanal manufacturing process, each lamp carries its own distinct character, with slight variations that make every piece special. If you notice that the arm of your lamp feels too loose or too tight, there’s no need to worry, this is not a defect but simply a matter of adjustment. To protect the lamp during transport, most arms are intentionally set slightly loose in the box. By following this guide, you can easily adjust your Jieldé Loft, Lak, or Signal lamp to achieve the perfect balance of functionality and aesthetics. As the French would say, “simple comme bonjour”—as simple as can be!

Step 1: Safety First

Before starting, ensure your lamp is unplugged from the mains or the power is turned off for fixed lamps. This prevents any risk of electrical shock. Additionally, check which collection your lamp belongs to, as the dimensions of the tightening tools differ.

Be extra careful when unboxing the base of the lamp. Damage caused by scissors is one of the most common mistakes people make. Take your time to carefully remove the packaging to avoid scratching or denting the lamp.

Avoid using pliers or unsuitable tools, as these can damage your lamp’s paintwork.

Step 2: Gather Your Tools

To adjust your lamp, you will need:

  •  A wrench (or two from the same size)
    A size 7 for Signal & Aicler or 10  for Loft and Lak.
  • A small flat screwdriver or knife if you are doing this for a LAK Serie Jieldé.

Step 3: Adjusting a Loose or Tight joint

Follow these steps to adjust the joints of your Jieldé lamp:

A. Loosen the Nut (counterclockwise):

Hold the screw with one wrench while slightly loosening the rounded nut with the other wrench. Be careful not to fully unscrew it.

B. Tighten the Screw (clockwise):

While holding the nut with the second wrench, tighten the screw until you achieve the desired level of adjustment. 

C. Prevent the Main Bolt from Turning:

Ensure that the main bolt does not rotate while tightening the cap nut. Hold it firmly in place with one of the wrenches.

D. Check the Adjusted Joint:

Rotate the joint so they are not too tight, preventing movement, but also not so loose that the arms move at the slightest touch. Aim for a balance where the arms stay in place but can still be adjusted smoothly.

Step 4: Adjusting Multiple Arms

If your lamp has multiple arms (e.g., a floor lamp), plan how you want the arms to function and look aesthetically before starting. Begin adjustments at the base arm and work your way up. This prevents unnecessary adjustments and ensures the lamp aligns perfectly.

Step 5: Adjusting Jieldé LAK caps

For LAK lamps, the process is similar, but you’ll need to remove the caps manually.

  1. Take a small flat screwdriver or knife.
  2. Insert the tool into the small notch on the cap.
  3. Give a gentle tap to unclip the cap.
  4. Once removed, proceed with the arm adjustment steps as described above.

Step 6: Final Check

After adjusting, test the lamp by moving its arms to ensure they are functional and aesthetically pleasing. Make any final tweaks if necessary.

Enjoy your Jieldé Lamp

By following these simple steps, you can enjoy the full benefits of your Jieldé lamp, a premium indoor lighting piece, while preserving its distinct industrial aesthetic.
