Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this a complete light fitting?
No, this product is a pendant light *shade only*. The ceiling rose, electrical cable, and light bulb are not included and must be purchased separately or used with an existing pendant fitting.
What type of light bulb should I use with this shade?
You can use any light bulb type as long as it does not exceed `40 watts` and fits your lamp base. We recommend an LED bulb for energy efficiency and lower heat output.
How do I clean the feather shade?
For light dusting, use a soft, dry cloth or a feather duster. To fluff up the feathers, gently use a hairdryer on a *cold setting*. Do not use water or harsh cleaning chemicals.
What are the dimensions of the shade?
The shade measures approximately `20cm` in height, `25cm` in depth, and `25cm` in width.
Will it fit my existing light fixture?
Yes, the shade is designed with a reducer ring to fit most common lamp bases, including `B22/BC`, `E14/SES`, and `E27/ES`.
What should I do if the feathers look flat after delivery?
This is common due to packaging for protection. We recommend using a hairdryer on a *cold setting* to gently blow the feathers, which will help them regain their volume and natural, fluffy look.
Troubleshooting
Feathers appear flat or disheveled upon unpacking.
Gently blow the feathers with a hairdryer on a *cold setting* to help them fluff up and regain their natural volume and shape. This is a common effect of packaging for protection.
The shade doesn't seem to fit my lamp base.
Check that the included reducer ring is correctly positioned or removed as needed to match your specific lamp base type (`B22/BC`, `E14/SES`, `E27/ES`). Make sure the ring is securely fitted.
Light is not turning on after installing the shade.
Ensure the light bulb (not included) is properly screwed in and functional. Verify that your existing ceiling rose and electrical cable (not included with this shade) are correctly wired and receiving power. This product is a shade only, not a complete electrical fitting.
Concerned about bulb heat and feathers.
Always use a light bulb that does not exceed `40 watts`. LED bulbs are generally recommended as they produce less heat, reducing any potential risk and improving energy efficiency. Ensure the bulb is not in direct contact with the feathers.
