FAQs

Does this include the light fixture or just the shade?

This product is a set of two lamp shades only; it does not include the light fixture, cable, or bulb.

Can I use this in a bathroom?

This shade is intended for indoor use. Avoid high-humidity areas unless the product is specifically rated for bathroom safety zones.

Is the shade compatible with dimmable bulbs?

Yes, the shade is compatible with dimmable bulbs, provided your light switch and bulb are both dimmable.

What happens if I use a bulb over 60W?

Using a bulb over 60W can cause excess heat, which may degrade the copper finish or damage the internal electrical components of your ceiling fitting.

How do I remove dust from inside the wire cage?

Use a long-handled duster or a soft brush to reach inside the cage without needing to remove the bulb.

Is there a matching version in another color?

Yes, a black version of this metal pendant shade is available under the MPN ADXRX864.

Troubleshooting

The shade feels loose on the fixture

Ensure the shade is fully seated against the lamp holder and the securing ring is tightened firmly.

The shade does not fit my fixture

Verify that your ceiling fitting is a standard E27 size. This shade is not designed for B22 (bayonet) or smaller E14 (candelabra) bases.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • No electrical work required for installation
  • Sophisticated brushed copper finish fits many decor styles
  • Sturdy metal construction ensures durability
  • Includes two shades per set for better value
  • Compact size works well in smaller rooms

Cons

  • Limited to E27 bulb fittings only
  • Cannot be used with bulbs exceeding 60W
  • The wire cage design allows dust to accumulate on the bulb
  • Light output is not diffused as much as fabric shades

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation is straightforward: ensure the power is off, unscrew your existing shade or bulb, slide the metal guard onto your E27 pendant fitting, and secure it according to your lamp holder's instructions. This shade is strictly rated for a maximum of 60W; always use LED bulbs to keep heat levels low and protect both the finish and the fitting. To clean, use a dry or slightly damp microfiber cloth to remove dust from the wire cage. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these may damage the brushed copper finish.
