Step 1: Clean and Prepare Your Glass Bottle

Select an empty wine, liquor, or soda bottle with a shape and glass color you enjoy. Rinse the interior thoroughly with warm water and mild soap to eliminate residue, then allow it to dry completely. If you prefer a clean look, soak the bottle in warm soapy water to peel off paper labels; if the label has sentimental value, leave it intact.

Step 2: Fully Charge Your LED Lamp Insert

Take your Led Bottle Lamp insert and connect the included USB-C cable to standard power supply. The internal battery requires CHARGE_TIME_HOURS for a full charge, which delivers BATTERY_LIFE_HOURS of illumination. Because the unit is completely portable and cordless, you won't need to position your final lamp near electrical wall outlets.

Step 3: Insert and Secure the Lamp Topper

Position your cleaned bottle on a flat surface. Align the tapered stem of the lighting top over the bottle neck. Gently press downward until the silicone gasket seals snugly inside the opening. The universal tapered design fits most standard bottle openings without needing adhesives or extra tools.

Step 4: Adjust Touch Dimming and Place Your Decor

Tap the top sensor on the fixture to turn on the warm LED glow. Use the touch dimming with three brightness levels to select low accent lighting, medium ambient glow, or high task lighting. Place your new custom bottle lamp on dining tables, patio setups, nightstands, or bar counters to enjoy your instantly upcycled craft project.
