Traditional Victorian Empire Lamp Shade - Pink

You should use a light bulb that is compatible with B22/BC, E14/SES, or E27/ES fittings. It's crucial that the bulb's wattage does not exceed 11W to prevent damage to the shade. The bulb itself is not included with the shade.

Yes, absolutely! The lamp shade is equipped with a unique reversible gimbal that allows it to be used seamlessly as both a hanging pendant shade and an upright shade for table or floor lamps.

For routine cleaning, gently dust the velvet and tassels with a soft brush or a lint roller. For minor marks on the velvet, carefully dab with a clean, slightly damp cloth, avoiding harsh rubbing. Untangle tassels by hand gently.

The shade has a height of 26cm (excluding the tassels), a top diameter of 15cm, and a bottom diameter of 40cm.

A reversible gimbal is the metal ring fitting inside the shade that allows you to flip its orientation. This means the shade can be hung downwards from a ceiling fixture (pendant mode) or placed upright on a lamp base (table/floor lamp mode) without appearing upside down.

Yes, the shade reducer ring is designed to be removable. It accommodates smaller lamp fittings like E14/SES. If your lamp holder is larger, such as a standard E27/ES, you may need to remove the reducer ring.

The shade includes a reducer ring that makes it compatible with common smaller fittings. If your lamp holder is larger (e.g., standard E27/ES), you might need to remove this reducer ring. If your fitting is still too large, it might not be compatible.

Check the orientation of the reversible gimbal. It needs to be flipped depending on whether you're using it as a pendant (wider opening down) or on a lamp base (wider opening up). Also, ensure the reducer ring is correctly installed or removed as per your fitting size.

The shade is designed for B22/BC, E14/SES, and E27/ES bulbs. If your bulb's base is different, it won't fit. If your bulb's base is one of these but still doesn't fit, verify if the reducer ring is in place when it should be removed, or vice-versa.

This shade has a maximum wattage of 11W. If the light is too dim, ensure your bulb is close to the 11W limit. If too bright (and you're within the 11W limit), you might need a lower wattage bulb or one with a different lumen output. If using an incandescent bulb, be aware of the strict 11W limit to prevent damage.

Gently untangle the tassels by hand. For stubborn tangles, a wide-toothed comb can be used very carefully. Avoid pulling too hard to prevent damage. Occasional gentle brushing can help them maintain their shape.

For dust, use a soft, dry brush or a lint roller. For minor marks, lightly dab with a clean, barely damp cloth. Do not rub the velvet vigorously as this can crush the pile. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
