FAQs
Can I use these shades on any light fitting?
These shades are designed as 'easy fit' and are compatible with most standard pendant light fittings and table lamps that accommodate a shade. They come with a reversible gimble and shade reducer to fit B22 (BC) and E27 (ES) lampholders. It is crucial to check bulb length and overall dimensions for compatibility.
Do I need an electrician to install these?
No, the 'easy fit' design means no wiring is required. They are designed to be fitted over an existing bulb and lampholder, making installation a simple DIY task.
What type of bulbs can I use?
These shades are suitable for use with LED bulbs. They can also be used with dimmable bulbs and most domestic smart light bulbs. Always ensure the bulb does not exceed the 60W maximum rating.
How do I clean the linen shades?
Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For more stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning materials that could damage the fabric.
What are the dimensions of each shade?
Each shade has a height of 14.5 cm and a diameter of 27 cm.
Is the sage green trim noticeable?
The sage green trim is a subtle decorative element along the scalloped edge, designed to add a refined detail without overpowering the natural white linen aesthetic.
Can I use these shades in a kitchen or bathroom?
Yes, they are suitable for use in kitchens, hallways, and guest rooms. For areas with high moisture or grease, such as bathrooms or kitchens, ensure adequate ventilation and clean the shades regularly according to the care instructions.
Troubleshooting
Shade does not fit securely.
Ensure the correct side of the reversible gimble is used and that the shade reducer is properly inserted for your specific fitting. Check that the bulb is not too long and is seated correctly.
Light flickers when using a dimmable bulb.
Verify that both the bulb and the light fixture itself are rated as dimmable. Ensure the bulb is fully screwed in. Some LED bulbs may have compatibility issues with older dimmer switches; consult the bulb manufacturer if problems persist.
Shade appears off-center.
Re-adjust the positioning of the shade on the fitting. Ensure the gimble is correctly aligned with the lampholder and that no external factors are causing it to sit unevenly.
Fabric appears creased upon arrival.
Gently steam the fabric from a distance, or allow it to hang for a few days in a steamy environment (like a bathroom after a shower) to allow creases to naturally fall out. Avoid direct heat or ironing.
