Troubleshooting
Shade does not fit securely
Ensure the retaining ring from the original light fitting is being used correctly to secure the shade. Check that the shade is properly seated on the bulb holder before tightening the ring.
Light flickers or doesn't turn on
Verify that the bulb is correctly screwed in and is compatible with the fitting (B22 or E27). Check the bulb's wattage does not exceed the 10W maximum per bulb. Ensure the power supply to the light fixture is stable.
Shade appears too small for the bulb
Double-check the bulb length against the shade's internal dimensions (18 cm height). The bulb should not extend significantly below the bottom edge of the shade for safety and optimal light diffusion.
