FAQs

What type of light bulb should I use with this lampshade?

You should use a light bulb with a maximum wattage of 11W. LED bulbs are highly recommended for energy efficiency and to maintain the specified wattage limit. The bulb itself is not included with the lampshade.

Can I use this lampshade as both a pendant light and on a table lamp?

Yes, absolutely! This lampshade features a reversible gimbal fitting, which allows you to easily switch its orientation for use as either a hanging pendant shade or on a table or floor lamp base.

How do I clean the velvet and tassels?

Gently dust the lampshade regularly with a soft, dry cloth or a soft brush attachment on your vacuum cleaner. For any spots on the velvet, dab lightly with a damp cloth. Avoid rubbing. For tangled tassels, gently untangle them by hand.

What are the dimensions of this lampshade?

The lampshade has a height of 19cm (excluding tassels), a top diameter of 10cm, and a bottom diameter of 30cm.

Is the shade compatible with my lamp fitting?

Yes, it comes with a reducer ring that makes it compatible with most common light fittings and lamp bases, including B22/BC, E14/SES, and E27/ES.

Can I use a smart bulb with this lampshade?

Yes, as long as the smart bulb you choose has a wattage equal to or less than 11W, it will be compatible with this lampshade.

Troubleshooting

Lampshade does not fit onto my lamp holder.

Ensure you are using the correct orientation for the reversible gimbal (wider opening facing down for pendant, up for lamp base). If your lamp holder is smaller, make sure the included shade reducer ring is properly inserted into the lampshade's fitting.

Light appears too dim or too bright.

Check the wattage of your light bulb. This lampshade is designed for a maximum of 11W. Using a lower wattage bulb will result in dimmer light, while exceeding 11W is not recommended for safety and product longevity.

Tassels appear creased or tangled.

Gently smooth out creases with your fingers. For tangles, carefully separate them by hand. Avoid pulling roughly.

Velvet fabric looks flattened or dusty.

Gently brush the velvet with a soft, dry brush in the direction of the pile to restore its texture. Regular, gentle dusting with a soft cloth or a vacuum with a brush attachment can prevent dust buildup.

Pros and Cons

  • Highly versatile with reversible gimbal for different lamp types.
  • Broad compatibility with common lamp fittings via reducer ring.
  • Handmade details and velvet fabric offer a luxurious feel.
  • Compact dimensions suit various room sizes and lamp bases.

Cons

  • Light bulb is not included, requiring a separate purchase.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Setting up your Victorian Empire Lampshade is straightforward due to its thoughtful design:

  1. Unpack Carefully: Remove the lampshade from its packaging, ensuring not to snag the velvet or tassels.
  2. Determine Orientation: Decide if you will use it as a pendant (hanging from the ceiling) or on a table/floor lamp base.
  3. Adjust Gimbal: The lampshade features a *reversible gimbal*. If using as a pendant, the wider opening faces downwards. If using on a lamp base, the wider opening faces upwards. Simply push the central fitting mechanism through to reverse its orientation if needed.
  4. Attach to Lamp: Place the lampshade's fitting ring onto your lamp holder.
  5. Use Reducer Ring: If your lamp fitting is smaller than the lampshade's central ring, insert the provided *shade reducer ring* into the lampshade's fitting to secure it snugly to your lamp's smaller fitting (B22/BC, E14/SES, E27/ES).
  6. Install Bulb: Screw in your chosen light bulb (maximum 11W) into the lamp holder.

Compatibility

This lampshade is highly compatible with a variety of light fixtures:

  • Lamp Types: Suitable for use as a *hanging pendant shade* or on *table/floor lamp bases*.
  • Light Fittings: Compatible with B22/BC (Bayonet Cap), E14/SES (Small Edison Screw), and E27/ES (Edison Screw) bulb holders, thanks to the included reducer ring.
  • Bulb Wattage: Designed for bulbs with a maximum wattage of 11W. LED bulbs are recommended for energy efficiency and longevity.

Care

To keep your velvet lampshade looking its best:

  • Dusting: Gently dust the velvet fabric and tassels regularly with a soft, dry cloth or a soft brush attachment on a vacuum cleaner.
  • Spot Cleaning: For small marks on the velvet, lightly dab with a damp cloth. Avoid rubbing aggressively, as this can crush the pile of the velvet. Use only water; harsh chemicals can damage the fabric.
  • Tassel Care: If tassels become tangled, gently untangle them with your fingers. Avoid pulling forcefully.
  • Storage: If storing, keep the lampshade in its original packaging or a protective bag to prevent dust accumulation and damage to the velvet and tassels.
