Product Information

Full details

This Happy Homewares Midnight Blue lampshade is ideal for anyone seeking to add a touch of classic elegance and luxurious texture to their home or business lighting. Its primary benefit is the rich, textured navy velvet combined with a shimmering silver lining that creates a sophisticated ambiance. A minor caveat is the maximum 11w bulb wattage, requiring users to select appropriate bulbs for desired brightness. Key features include its traditional circular drum shape, high-quality velvet fabric, contrasting satin inner lining, and a reversible gimbal for versatile fitting.

FAQs

What type of light bulb should I use?

You should use a bulb with a maximum wattage of 11w. LED bulbs are recommended for energy efficiency and to minimize heat.

Will this lampshade fit my existing lamp base?

Yes, it is designed with a reversible gimbal and includes a shade reducer ring, making it compatible with B22/BC, E14/SES, and E27/ES lamp holders for both table lamps and pendant fittings.

How do I clean the velvet lampshade?

Gently dust with a soft, dry cloth or brush. For minor marks, use a slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry completely. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Can this lampshade be used for a ceiling light?

Yes, the reversible gimbal allows it to be fitted onto pendant ceiling light fixtures.

What are the dimensions of the lampshade?

The dimensions are: Height - 18cm, Top diameter - 20cm, Bottom diameter - 25cm.

Does the lampshade come with a light bulb?

No, the light bulb is not included and must be purchased separately.

What is the inner lining made of?

The inner lining is made of a contrasting silver satin shimmer fabric.

Troubleshooting

Lampshade does not fit the bulb holder.

Verify that you are using the correct shade reducer ring setting for your bulb holder type (B22/BC, E14/SES, E27/ES). Ensure the gimbal is correctly positioned on the lamp holder.

Light output is too dim.

Check the wattage of the installed bulb. Ensure it is within the maximum 11w limit and consider using a higher lumen LED bulb (e.g., an 11w LED equivalent to a higher incandescent wattage) for increased brightness.

Shade is wobbly on the fitting.

Ensure the lampshade is correctly seated on the lamp holder or pendant fitting. If using on a table lamp, check that the finial is tightened securely. Adjust the gimbal if necessary.

Velvet texture appears flattened or damaged.

Gently use a soft brush to lift the nap of the velvet. Avoid applying excessive pressure during cleaning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the power to the light fixture is switched off.
  2. Determine if the shade will be used on a table lamp or a pendant fitting.
  3. If using on a table lamp, the shade typically rests on the lamp's harp and secured with a finial. If using on a pendant, the shade will hang from the ceiling rose.
  4. The reversible gimbal may need to be adjusted to sit correctly on the lamp holder or pendant fitting.
  5. Remove the shade reducer ring if using with an E27/ES fitting; keep it in place for B22/BC or E14/SES fittings.
  6. Install a compatible light bulb (max 11w) into the socket.
  7. Carefully place the lampshade onto the fitting and secure it.
  8. Restore power and test the light.

Compatibility:

  • Bulb Holders: Compatible with B22/BC, E14/SES, and E27/ES fittings thanks to the included shade reducer ring.
  • Lamp Types: Suitable for use with both table lamps and pendant ceiling light fixtures due to the reversible gimbal.
  • Bulb Wattage: Maximum recommended wattage is 11w. For energy efficiency and heat management, LED bulbs are recommended.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Gently dust the velvet exterior with a soft, dry cloth or a soft brush. For more stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth, ensuring it is not overly wet, and allow to air dry completely. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Maintenance: Periodically check that the shade is securely fitted and that the inner lining remains clean to optimize light reflection.
