This Modern Tapered Velvet Light Shade in Purple is designed for homeowners looking to easily add a touch of sophisticated glamour to their lighting. Its key benefit is the instant upgrade it provides to any lamp with its rich velvet texture and refined tone, creating a soft, ambient glow. A minor caveat is that it's a non-electric shade, meaning it fits over existing fittings and does not contain its own light source.

The lampshade is made from a rich velvet fabric.
No, this is a non-electric shade designed to fit over existing standard light fittings. No wiring or electrician is required.
It is suitable for table lamps, floor lamps, and ceiling lights with standard fittings. Always check compatibility with your specific fixture.
Gently dust with a dry cloth. For tougher marks, use a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Please refer to the product specifications for exact dimensions, as these can vary slightly by model or batch. The 'Tapered' design indicates its shape.
Yes, you can use colored light bulbs, but the resulting light color will be a combination of the bulb's color and the shade's purple hue, potentially creating unique effects.
Ensure you are using the correct size fitting adapter if one was provided, or that the shade is properly seated on the bulb holder. Check if the lamp fitting is a standard size; adapters may be available for non-standard fittings.
Ensure the bulb wattage does not exceed the recommended maximum for the lamp. The shade is designed to diffuse light; for brighter illumination, consider a higher lumen bulb (within the lamp's capacity) or check that the bulb is clean.
Gently brush the velvet with a soft brush or a steam cleaner on a low setting from a distance to lift the pile. Avoid pressing directly onto the fabric.
Setup
This lampshade is designed for straightforward, non-electric installation. Simply place it over your existing light fitting. Ensure the shade is securely seated on the bulb holder or fitting to prevent it from becoming dislodged.
Compatibility
This shade fits standard light fittings. It is compatible with table lamps, floor lamps, and pendant lights that have a suitable fitting base. Please measure your existing lamp fitting to ensure a proper fit before purchase, though this is a universal accessory designed for ease.
Care Instructions
To maintain the rich appearance of the velvet, gently dust the shade regularly with a soft, dry cloth or a feather duster. For more stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth, ensuring not to oversaturate the fabric. Avoid using harsh cleaning chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the velvet texture and color.
