How do you make a lamp safe?

To make a lamp safe, first ensure it has a stable base to prevent tipping over. Use bulbs that match the lamp's wattage rating to avoid overheating, and regularly check for frayed cords or damaged sockets. Consider using LED bulbs, which produce less heat, and install a compatible lampshade to shield the bulb. Finally, keep the lamp away from flammable materials and avoid using it in damp areas unless it's specifically designed for that purpose.
