FAQs
Does this shade come with an electrical cord?
No, this is a lamp shade only. It is designed to be fitted to your existing pendant light fixture.
What type of bulb should I use?
Because the bulb is visible through the wire basket, a vintage-style LED filament bulb is recommended for the best aesthetic effect.
Is this product suitable for bathroom use?
No, this product is not IP-rated for damp environments and should be used in dry interior areas only.
Can I use this with a high-wattage incandescent bulb?
While the metal can handle the heat, it is highly recommended to use cool-running LED bulbs to protect your eyes and conserve energy.
How do I clean the copper finish?
Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away dust. Avoid abrasive materials that could scratch the metallic finish.
Troubleshooting
The shade is wobbling on the socket.
Ensure the retaining ring on your light socket is screwed tight against the shade frame.
Light is too bright or creates glare.
Use a warm-tone, low-wattage dimmable LED bulb to soften the output.
The shade does not fit the existing socket.
Verify if your socket requires a reducer ring, which is commonly included with most pendant cable sets.
Pros and Cons
Pros

Cons
- Electrical cord and bulb socket not included

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: simply unscrew the retaining ring from your existing pendant cable, slide the shade onto the socket, and screw the ring back on to secure the basket. This product is compatible with most standard light bulb sockets (E27 or E14 depending on your specific ceiling fitting). To keep the copper finish looking its best, wipe the metal wires regularly with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can strip or dull the metallic coating. If the shade becomes dusty, a light dusting with a compressed air canister can effectively reach the inner wires.
