Troubleshooting
Shade does not fit securely
Ensure the internal wire harp is correctly assembled and tightened. Check that the shade is seated properly on the harp's arms.
Uneven lighting or shadows
Verify that the light bulb is centered within the shade and is not touching the paper. Ensure the bulb wattage is appropriate for the shade.
Paper material seems delicate
Handle the shade with clean hands and avoid applying pressure. Use only a soft cloth for cleaning and avoid abrasive materials.
