FAQs

What type of light bulb should I use with this shade?

You should use a light bulb that does not exceed 11 watts. The bulb type (e.g., LED, CFL) is flexible, as long as it fits the E14, E27, or B22 fitting of your lamp base/pendant and adheres to the wattage limit.

Is the light bulb included with the lamp shade?

No, the light bulb is not included and must be purchased separately.

Can I use this lamp shade as both a hanging pendant and on a table lamp?

Yes, absolutely! The lamp shade is equipped with a reversible gimbal, which allows it to be used as either a hanging pendant shade or an upright shade for a table or floor lamp.

What are the exact dimensions of the lamp shade?

The dimensions are: Height - 19cm (excluding tassels), Top diameter - 10cm, Bottom diameter - 30cm.

How do I clean the velvet fabric?

Gently dust with a soft, dry cloth or a lint roller. For minor marks, lightly dab with a clean, slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals and excessive moisture.

What types of lamp fittings is this shade compatible with?

Thanks to its included reducer ring, it is compatible with most common pendant light fittings and lamp bases, including B22/BC, E14/SES, and E27/ES.

What is a reversible gimbal?

A reversible gimbal is a clever fitting that allows you to orient the lamp shade in two ways: one for hanging (as a pendant) and another for sitting upright (on a table or floor lamp). This provides great flexibility in how you use your shade.

Troubleshooting

Shade does not fit my lamp base or pendant fitting.

Ensure you are using the included shade reducer ring. This ring is designed to adapt the shade to smaller, common lamp fittings like B22/BC, E14/SES, and E27/ES.

The shade hangs or sits incorrectly.

Check the position of the reversible gimbal. For pendant use, it should allow the shade to hang downwards. For table/floor lamps, it should allow the shade to sit upright. Adjust the gimbal's orientation as needed.

The light appears too dim or the bulb flickers.

Verify that the light bulb you are using does not exceed the maximum wattage of 11W. Using a higher wattage bulb can cause issues and is a safety risk. Ensure the bulb is fully screwed in.

The velvet fabric looks dusty or has a small mark.

For dust, gently use a lint roller or a soft, dry cloth. For small marks, lightly dab with a clean, slightly damp cloth, avoiding excessive rubbing. Do not use harsh chemicals.
