How do I clean the shade?

Troubleshooting
Shade does not fit securely.
Verify that you are using the correct fitting mechanism for your existing pendant light. Ensure any retaining rings or clips are properly aligned and tightened. Check that the shade is compatible with the specific bulb holder size.
Light flickers or is dim.
Ensure you are using a 10W LED bulb as recommended. Check the bulb is screwed in correctly and try a different compatible bulb. Confirm the main power connection is stable.
Shade feels unstable after installation.
Re-check the securing mechanism. If the shade came with a specific retaining ring, ensure it is fully engaged. If instability persists, the shade may not be compatible with your specific light fitting.
Uneven light/shadow patterns.
The pattern of light and shadow is inherent to the open-wire design. Ensure the bulb is centered within the shade for the most symmetrical effect. Different bulb shapes might also slightly alter the pattern.
