What types of light fittings does it fit?

Troubleshooting

Shade does not fit securely on the lamp base.

Ensure the reversible gimbal is correctly oriented for lamp use and try adjusting or re-inserting the shade reducer ring.

Shade is too loose on a pendant fitting.

Confirm the shade reducer ring is in place and that the gimbal is properly seated on the pendant fitting. Ensure no parts are missing.

Light is not bright enough.

Check that the bulb used does not exceed the 11w maximum wattage. Consider using a brighter LED bulb within the allowed wattage, or adjust expectations for ambient versus task lighting.

Tassels are tangled.

Gently separate the tassels with your fingers. Avoid using combs or brushes, which can cause damage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

  5. Screw in an appropriate light bulb (maximum 11w, not included).
  6. Carefully place the shade onto the light fitting.

Care:
