FAQs
What material is the lamp shade made from?
The shade is typically made from fabric with a flame-retardant lining, though specific material composition may vary.
Can this lamp shade be used outdoors?
No, this lamp shade is designed for indoor use only. Exposure to weather conditions can damage the fabric and print.
How do I ensure the shade fits my lamp?
The shade is designed to fit standard lamp fixtures. Check the diameter at the top and bottom, and the height, against your lamp's dimensions. Most shades come with a fitting for standard harps or can be secured directly to the socket.
Is the print on the shade prone to fading?
Under normal indoor lighting conditions, the print is designed to be durable. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight, which can cause fading over time.
What is the best way to clean dust off the shade?
A soft, dry microfiber cloth or a feather duster is recommended for regular dusting. For a more thorough clean, use a slightly damp cloth.
Does the shade come with a bulb?
No, the lamp shade is sold separately and does not include a bulb or lamp base.
Troubleshooting
Shade appears uneven or tilted
Ensure the shade is seated correctly on the lamp harp or fitting. Check that the retaining ring is tightened appropriately but not overtightened.
Light appears too dim
Verify that the bulb wattage does not exceed the maximum recommended for the lamp fixture and shade combination. Consider using a higher lumen bulb if appropriate for the fixture.
Shade fabric has a mark or stain
Gently spot clean the affected area with a slightly damp cloth and mild soap. Test in an inconspicuous area first. Avoid saturating the fabric.
