Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup Instructions
- Unpack Carefully: Gently remove the light shade from its packaging, being mindful of the delicate feathers.
- Fluff Feathers: Before installation, use a hairdryer on a cold setting to gently blow air over the feathers. This will help them regain their natural volume and shape after being compressed during transit.
- Attach to Existing Pendant: Ensure your existing ceiling rose and cable are securely installed.
- Insert Reducer Ring (if needed): The shade comes with a reducer ring. Depending on the size of your lamp holder (B22/BC, E14/SES, or E27/ES), you may need to use this ring to ensure a snug fit.
- Secure Shade: Place the shade onto your pendant fitting and secure it according to your pendant's design. Typically, this involves tightening a collar or ring from your pendant fitting to hold the shade in place.
- Install Light Bulb: Insert a light bulb, ensuring it does not exceed the maximum recommended wattage of 40W.
Compatibility
This pendant light shade is designed to be compatible with most standard pendant light fittings. It includes a versatile shade reducer ring, allowing it to fit common lamp bases such as `B22/BC`, `E14/SES`, and `E27/ES`. Please note it is a shade *only* and requires an existing ceiling rose, cable, and light bulb.
Care and Maintenance
- Dusting: To keep the feathers clean and looking their best, gently dust the shade regularly using a soft duster or the brush attachment of a vacuum cleaner on a low setting.
- Fluffing: If feathers become compressed over time, gently re-fluff them using a hairdryer on a cold setting.
- Avoid Moisture: Do not expose the shade to excessive moisture or cleaning liquids, as this can damage the natural feathers. Spot clean only with a dry cloth if absolutely necessary.
- Bulb Replacement: Always ensure the light fixture is off and cooled before changing the light bulb.
