Odd assembly features a wing nut that seems to do very little?

Well chuffed with the 24W LED output - its blinding.

The wing nut bit is for attaching the lamp to it's floor stand
The rechargable one is the same money mind ??

True but the lamp will screw to the floor stand using the big Plastic Knob on top as per fitting diagram as the shouldered bolt tightens against the inside top of the base.

The picture shows the wing nut being put on upside down and all it seems to do is butt up against the shoulder when it reaches the end of the thread and enables you to rotate the plastic bit to align the tag?



If you try the threaded bolt / stud the other way round it will not fit!

I thought the idea was to fit the bolt (inc wing nut) to the floor stand. Then you fit the lamp to it, or move it away as you need but leaving the bolt on the stand.
