Troubleshooting
Shade does not fit the lamp base.
Utilize the included shade reducer ring. Ensure the shade's fitting is correctly aligned with the lamp's bulb holder. The reversible gimbal can also be adjusted.
Light is too dim.
Confirm the bulb wattage is within the 11w limit. Consider using a higher lumen (but still 11w or less) bulb. This shade is designed for ambient rather than bright task lighting.
Tassels are tangled or misshapen.
Gently tease the tassels with your fingers to separate them. If necessary, a very low-heat iron held at a distance or steaming can help reshape them, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
