FAQs

What are the exact dimensions of the Sybil lampshade?

The Sybil lampshade has a diameter of 50cm and a height of 48cm.

What type of light fittings is this lampshade compatible with?

It is designed to fit E27 or B22 pendant light fittings.

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

You can use E27 or B22 bulbs, but always ensure the bulb's wattage does not exceed the maximum recommended for your light fitting to prevent overheating.

How is this lampshade cleaned?

It should be dusted regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For tougher marks, use a slightly damp cloth, avoiding harsh chemicals.

Is this lampshade suitable for a dimmer switch?

The lampshade itself is compatible with dimmable bulbs, provided your light fitting and the bulb are both designed for dimming.

What makes this lampshade unique?

It is handmade from sustainable linen fabric, offering a unique texture and a soft, diffused light quality that differs from mass-produced shades.

Will this lampshade fit a standard ceiling light fixture?

It is designed for pendant light fittings (E27 or B22). If your standard ceiling fixture is a pendant type with one of these holders, it should fit. Check your existing fixture's specifications.

Troubleshooting

Lampshade appears uneven or slightly misshapen upon arrival.

This can sometimes occur due to packaging. Gently reshape the lampshade by hand. The linen should naturally settle. Allow it to hang for a few hours to regain its intended form.

Light seems too dim.

Ensure you are using a bulb with an appropriate lumen output for the size of the room and the lampshade. Check the maximum wattage recommendation for your light fitting and consider using a brighter compatible bulb.

Difficulty attaching the lampshade to the fitting.

Verify that you are using the correct type of fitting (E27 or B22) and that the fitting is not obstructed. Consult the instructions for your specific light fixture if needed.

Fabric appears creased.

Minor creases from shipping can usually be smoothed out by gently stretching the fabric. For stubborn creases, a very low-heat setting on a garment steamer held at a distance might be used with extreme caution, but test on an inconspicuous area first.

Compatibility:

Care:

  • Gently dust the lampshade regularly with a soft, dry cloth or a feather duster.
