- Simple Installation: Attaches directly to existing light fittings, making it accessible even for those without electrical experience.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Installing your MiniSun 7 Tier Ceiling Light Shade is straightforward due to its "shade only" design.
- Ensure Power is Off: Before starting, always turn off the power to your existing light fitting at the main circuit breaker to prevent electrical hazards.
- Remove Existing Shade (if any): Carefully detach any old light shade from your ceiling rose.
- Attach New Shade: Position the MiniSun shade over your existing light socket. The shade is designed to simply fit onto the lampholder. Follow the specific instructions provided with your existing ceiling rose for securing the shade (typically involves a shade ring that screws onto the lampholder).
- Install Bulb: Screw the included 10W BC B22 GLS bulb into the lampholder.
- Restore Power: Once the shade is securely attached and the bulb is in place, restore power at the circuit breaker.
- Test: Turn on the light switch to ensure proper functionality.
Compatibility
This ceiling light shade is compatible with standard ceiling light fittings that utilize a BC (Bayonet Cap) B22 lampholder. It is designed to be fitted to an existing ceiling rose and flex. Please note that the ceiling rose and flex are *not* included with the shade.
Care & Maintenance
To maintain the appearance and longevity of your light shade:
- Dusting: Regularly dust the shade with a soft, dry cloth or a feather duster to prevent buildup.
- Cleaning: For more thorough cleaning, gently wipe the surfaces with a lightly damp, soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
- Bulb Replacement: When replacing the bulb, ensure the power is off and allow the old bulb to cool down before handling. Use only BC B22 GLS bulbs, not exceeding the maximum wattage specified by your lampholder, although the included 10W LED is a highly efficient choice.
