Frequently asked questions about Mr Maria lamps
Are Mr Maria lamps safe for babies and toddlers?
Yes, the lights are made from shatterproof plastic and have no sharp edges. The LED technology stays cool – even during extended use. Many models are equipped with a soft silicone coating that provides additional protection. Nevertheless, you should place the lamp out of the baby's direct reach so that the cable does not become a hazard. For toddlers, the mini night lights are particularly suitable as they are lightweight and impact-resistant.
How do I dim the lamps and does this work on all models?
The dimming function is integrated in almost all Mr Maria lamps. It is usually operated via a sensor in the figure's head: simply tap the head to turn the light on and off or adjust the brightness in several levels. Some models offer stepless dimming by pressing and holding. Please refer to the respective product description for the exact operation. All lamps do not save the last set brightness – when switched on again, they start with full brightness.
Can I also use the lamps in the bathroom or outdoors?
Most Mr Maria lamps are designed for indoor use and are not explicitly water-protected. They should not be used in damp rooms or outdoors, as moisture can damage the electronics. However, there are individual models with IP protection – check the details on the product detail page. For bathroom use, special damp-proof lights are more suitable. In the children's room or living area, the lamps can be used without restrictions.
How do I clean the lamps properly?
Since the lights are made of plastic, you can wipe them with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid aggressive cleaning agents or abrasive sponges, as these could damage the surface. For models with silicone parts, lukewarm water and a mild detergent are sufficient. Make sure that no water enters the openings (charging socket, speaker grille). Always unplug the power cord before cleaning – for battery models, it is enough to turn off the lamp.
