FAQs
Do I need an electrician to install this shade?
No, this is an 'Easy Fit' shade designed for quick installation without any wiring. It simply attaches to your existing light fitting.
What type of bulb should I use with this shade?
This shade is compatible with LED bulbs and requires either a B22 (BC) or E27 (ES) cap type, with a maximum wattage of 21W.
Can I use any bulb length with this shade?
It is important to check the bulb length against the shade's height (20cm) to ensure the bulb does not touch the shade material. Always use a bulb with a suitable length.
How do I clean the shaggy material?
You can dust it regularly with a soft brush vacuum attachment or a dry cloth. For a deeper clean, use a slightly damp cloth and allow it to air dry completely.
Can this shade be used with a dimmer switch?
Yes, if you use a dimmable bulb and a compatible dimmer switch, the light output can be adjusted.
What are the dimensions of the shade?
The shade measures 20 cm in height and 30 cm in diameter.
Is this shade available in other colors?
Yes, this shade is also available in Grey, Pink, Blue, and Green.
Troubleshooting
Shade does not fit securely onto the bulb holder.
Ensure you are using the correct side of the shade's inner ring or the provided shade reducer if the bulb holder is a different size. Double-check that the pendant's retaining ring is properly re-attached.
Light flickers when using a dimmable bulb.
This may be due to the bulb not being fully compatible with dimming or the dimmer switch itself. Ensure you are using a bulb explicitly rated as dimmable and that it is compatible with your dimmer switch.
The shade seems too short for the bulb.
Always check the bulb length against the shade's dimensions (20cm height) before installation. If the bulb is too long and makes contact with the shade material, it may pose a fire risk and should be replaced with a shorter bulb.
Shaggy material seems to be shedding excessively.
Initial shedding can occur. Gently vacuum with a soft brush attachment or use a lint roller. If shedding persists significantly after initial use, contact customer support.
