Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
The Rae lamp shade features an 'easy-fit' design, making installation straightforward.
- Unpack: Carefully remove the lamp shade and included bulb from its packaging.
- Ensure Power Off: Before beginning, ensure the power supply to your light fixture is turned off at the mains.
- Attach to Fixture: Position the shade's central ring over your existing lamp holder (typically a standard pendant or lamp base fitting). Secure it by twisting the retaining ring (if present on your fixture) or clips until snug.
- Install Bulb: Screw the provided bulb into your lamp holder.
- Restore Power: Turn the power supply back on.
Compatibility
- Light Fixtures: Designed to fit most standard ceiling pendant light fittings and suitable table lamp bases.
- Bulb Type: Compatible with standard screw or bayonet fittings, depending on your fixture's requirements. The included bulb will match this.
- Size: Available in 'small' or 'large' variants. Measure your existing lamp base or the intended space to choose the most appropriate size.
Care
To maintain the appearance and longevity of your Rae lamp shade:
- Dusting: Regularly dust the shade with a soft, dry cloth or a feather duster. For the pleated sections, use a soft brush attachment on a vacuum cleaner on a low setting to gently remove dust.
- Spot Cleaning: For minor marks, gently dab the affected area with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the fabric and color.
- Avoid Moisture: Do not use in damp environments like bathrooms or outdoors, as this can affect the shade's material and structure.
- Handling: Always handle the shade by its frame to avoid creasing or damaging the pleated fabric.
