FAQs

What size light bulb should I use?

You should use a light bulb with a maximum wattage of 11W. The type of bulb (e.g., LED, incandescent) is flexible, but ensure it does not exceed the wattage limit.

Can this shade be used on any lamp?

Yes, thanks to its reversible gimbal and included shade reducer ring, it can be used on pendant lights, table lamps, and floor lamps with B22/BC, E14/SES, and E27/ES fittings.

How do I clean the lamp shade?

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

Does it come with a light bulb?

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

What are the dimensions of the shade?

The shade measures 20cm in height (excluding the tassels) and has a diameter of 35cm.

What is the color of the shade?

The shade is a duck egg blue color.

Is the embroidery on the shade handmade?

Yes, the shade features handmade embroidered trims.

Troubleshooting

Shade does not fit securely on the fitting.

Ensure you are using the correct configuration of the reversible gimbal and the shade reducer ring, if needed, for your specific light fitting type (B22/BC, E14/SES, E27/ES).

Light seems too dim.

Consider using a brighter LED bulb within the 11W maximum wattage. Ensure the bulb is clean and correctly seated. This shade is designed for accent or mood lighting.

Tassels are tangled.

Gently try to untangle them with your fingers. Avoid pulling forcefully. A very light mist of water might help if they are stubborn, but allow to dry fully.

Fabric appears creased upon arrival.

Hang the shade for a few days; gravity may help smooth out minor creases. For more persistent creases, a very gentle steaming from a distance (do not let the steamer touch the fabric) might help, but test in an inconspicuous area first.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the power is switched off at the mains before installation.
  2. If using as a pendant shade, remove the existing shade and attach the new shade to the light fitting. The included shade reducer ring can be used if necessary to ensure a snug fit with B22/BC, E14/SES, or E27/ES fittings.
  3. If using as a table or floor lamp shade, attach it to the lamp's harp and finial, or directly to the bulb holder if compatible with the reversible gimbal.
  4. Install a light bulb with a maximum wattage of 11W.
  5. Restore power and test the light.

Compatibility:

This shade is compatible with:

  • Pendant light fittings (ceiling lights)
  • Table lamps
  • Floor lamps
  • Fittings: B22/BC, E14/SES, E27/ES (using the provided reducer ring)

Care:

  • Gently dust the fabric and tassels regularly with a soft, dry cloth.
  • For stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth, ensuring it is not wet, and allow to air dry completely.
  • Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the fabric and embroidery.
  • Handle the tassels with care to prevent tangling or damage.
