FAQs
Does this shade come with a light bulb?
No, the shade is sold as a standalone item. You will need to purchase a compatible LED bulb separately.
Can I use this with a 60W incandescent bulb?
While the shade supports up to 60W, we recommend using LED bulbs for better energy efficiency and lower heat output.
Will this fit a standard lamp base?
This is designed primarily for ceiling pendant fittings. It may not be suitable for table lamps unless they feature a spider or shade-carrier mechanism.
How do I know if it fits my B22 or E27 fitting?
The shade includes a reducer ring, allowing it to adapt to both B22 (bayonet) and E27 (screw) standard pendant suspensions.
Is the blue color fabric fade-resistant?
The shade is made for indoor use; however, avoid placing it in direct, intense sunlight for prolonged periods to maintain the vibrancy of the blue finish.
Troubleshooting
The shade looks crooked once installed.
Ensure the shade's internal ring is seated squarely on the pendant fitting and that the bulb is screwed in tight enough to hold the weight evenly.
Light is blocked or the bulb is too long.
Verify the total length of your bulb. If the bulb extends past the bottom of the 19cm shade, replace it with a shorter globe-style LED bulb.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- No electrical wiring required for installation
- Stylish layered design creates a soft, ambient glow
- Compatible with both B22 and E27 fitting types
- Lightweight construction suitable for most ceiling pendants
Cons
- Not suitable for use with lamps that have fixed, non-removable shades
- Requires careful bulb length selection to stay within the 19cm height limit
- Dust may collect between the layered fabric segments over time
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward: switch off your power, unscrew the existing bulb, slide the shade's ring onto your pendant fitting, and screw the bulb back into place to secure the shade.
Compatibility Checklist:
- Fitting: Supports standard B22 BC and E27 ES bases.
- Wattage: Maximum 60W limit; prioritize LED bulbs to stay well under this thermal limit.
- Bulb Size: Ensure your bulb is not too long, as the shade is 19cm in height.
Care Instructions:
- Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to dust the exterior fabric periodically.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals or water, as these may damage the fabric layers or the frame integrity.
- Periodically check the fitting ring to ensure the shade remains level after bulb changes.
