Troubleshooting
Lampshade does not fit the bulb holder.
Ensure you are using the correct shade reducer ring for your specific bulb holder type (B22/BC, E14/SES, or E27/ES). Check that the gimbal is correctly positioned.
Light output is too dim.
This shade is designed for ambient lighting and has a maximum wattage of 11W. For brighter light, consider a higher lumen bulb within the 11W limit or a different shade. Ensure the bulb is clean.
Fabric appears creased.
Gently steam the fabric from a distance (do not let the steamer touch the fabric) or hang the shade in a steamy bathroom for a short period. Avoid direct ironing.
Tassels are tangled.
Gently use your fingers or a wide-tooth comb to carefully untangle the tassels. Avoid pulling them forcefully.
