FAQs

What material is the Inlight Petra shade made from?

The shade is made from upholstery fabric featuring a slubby woven effect.

What is the diameter of the shade?

The diameter of the shade is 40cm.

What color is the shade?

The shade is a light grey color.

Can I use any type of light bulb with this shade?

It is recommended to use LED or low-heat bulbs to protect the fabric and ensure longevity. Check the lamp base's maximum wattage recommendation.

How do I clean the shade?

Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For tougher marks, use a slightly damp cloth, avoiding excessive moisture and harsh chemicals.

Is this shade suitable for pendant lights?

The description suggests it's a cylinder shade for lamps. Compatibility with pendant fixtures would depend on the specific fitting mechanism; it's primarily designed for table or floor lamps.

Does the shade come with a fitting or harp?

Typically, lampshades are sold separately from the lamp base and its fittings (like harps or finials). Please check the product listing details for what is included.

Troubleshooting

Shade does not fit lamp base.

Verify the fitting type and diameter of both the shade and the lamp base. Ensure you have the correct adapter or harp if needed. Check if the shade is intended for a pendant or table lamp.

Uneven light distribution.

Ensure the shade is positioned straight and centered on the lamp. Check that the bulb is not too close to the fabric and is the recommended wattage.

Fabric appears damaged or snagged.

Inspect the fabric carefully. If snagged, try to gently smooth the fabric. For minor damage, consider if it is noticeable under normal lighting conditions. Refer to care instructions for cleaning.

Shade is wobbly.

Ensure the shade is securely attached to the lamp fitting. If using a finial, tighten it gently. If the fitting itself is loose, the lamp base may require repair.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Care:
