FAQs

Do I need an electrician to install this shade?

No, the Basil Easy Fit shade is designed for simple DIY installation. No wiring is required; it simply attaches to your existing pendant light fitting.

What type of bulb should I use?

You need to use a bulb with either a B22 (Bayonet Cap) or E27 (Edison Screw) fitting, with a maximum wattage of 10W. LED bulbs are recommended for energy efficiency. Dimmable or smart bulbs can also be used.

How do I ensure the bulb will fit?

The shade has a height of 18 cm. You need to check that the total length of your chosen bulb (from base to tip) does not exceed this height, or the shade may not fit correctly or may touch the bulb.

Can I use this shade in a bathroom or kitchen?

Yes, it is suitable for kitchens and living rooms, as well as other general living areas. Ensure it is not placed in an area with excessive moisture or steam.

How do I clean the shade?

Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For minor marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by drying thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Is this shade compatible with smart bulbs?

Yes, this product is compatible with most domestic smart light bulbs, allowing you to control it via your smart home system.

What are the dimensions of the shade?

The shade measures 18 cm in height and 30 cm in diameter.

Troubleshooting

Shade does not fit securely.

Ensure you are using the correct type of bulb socket (B22 or E27) and that the shade is seated properly on the bulb holder. Check if any part of the bulb base or fitting is obstructing the shade's placement.

Light flickers or is dim.

Check that the bulb is screwed in correctly and is the appropriate wattage (10W Max). If using a dimmable bulb or smart bulb, ensure it is functioning correctly and paired with your control system.

Glass panels appear loose.

This is usually a design feature of Tiffany-style lamps. If any panels are significantly loose or damaged, contact customer support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the power to the light fitting is switched off at the mains.

  3. Place the Basil Easy Fit shade over the existing bulb holder, ensuring it is securely seated.
  4. Screw in your chosen bulb (10W Max B22 BC or E27 ES).

Compatibility:

  • Bulb Socket: Compatible with B22 Bayonet Cap (BC) and E27 Edison Screw (ES) fittings.
  • Maximum Wattage: 10W Max per bulb.
  • Bulb Type: Suitable for LED bulbs. Dimmable bulbs can be used for adjustable lighting. Compatible with most domestic smart light bulbs.
  • Important: Always check the length of your chosen bulb against the shade's dimensions (18 cm height) to ensure it fits without protruding or touching the shade material.

Care:

  • Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth.
  • For tougher marks, use a slightly damp cloth. Ensure the shade is completely dry before re-attaching or turning on the light.
  • Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as they can damage the glass and metal components.
