FAQs
Can I use a standard incandescent bulb?
No, incandescent bulbs often exceed 11W and generate too much heat for this shade. Use only LED bulbs.
What are the exact dimensions?
The shade is 26cm high excluding tassels, with a 15cm top diameter and a 40cm bottom diameter.
Does it come with a lamp base?
No, this product is for the lamp shade only; the base or pendant cable must be purchased separately.
Is the gold finish shiny or matte?
It features a shimmer faux silk fabric, providing a subtle, luxurious glow rather than a metallic chrome-like shine.
Can the tassels be removed?
The tassels are part of the handmade decorative trim and are not designed to be removed.
Troubleshooting
The shade feels loose on the lamp base
Ensure the shade's retaining ring is tightened fully against the gimbal. If the socket is narrow, ensure the reducer ring is seated correctly.
The fabric appears to dim the light too much
The shimmer fabric is designed for ambient, soft lighting. If more brightness is needed, switch to a cool white LED bulb with a higher lumen output, provided it remains under 11W.
