FAQs

Is the light bulb included with the lampshade?

No, the light bulb is not included. This allows you to choose a bulb that best suits your lighting needs and preferences.

What type of light bulb should I use?

You should use a bulb that fits your lamp's socket (B22/BC, E14/SES, or E27/ES) and does not exceed a maximum wattage of 60W.

Can this lampshade be used on both ceiling pendants and table lamps?

Yes, absolutely. The lampshade features a reversible gimbal designed for versatile use on either hanging pendant lights or table/floor lamp bases.

How do I clean the velvet and tassels?

For routine cleaning, gently dust the velvet with a soft, dry cloth or a soft brush. For the tassels, you can gently comb them with your fingers or a soft brush to keep them tidy. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive moisture.

What are the exact dimensions of the lampshade?

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

Will this lampshade fit my existing lamp fitting?

The lampshade is designed to fit most common fittings including B22/BC, E14/SES, and E27/ES, thanks to its included reducer ring. Please check your lamp's fitting type.

Troubleshooting

Lampshade does not fit my lamp or pendant fixture.

Ensure you have used the reversible gimbal correctly for either pendant or table/floor lamp orientation. Check if the shade reducer ring is properly installed or removed based on your lamp fitting size (B22/BC, E14/SES, E27/ES).

The lampshade appears crooked or unstable on my lamp.

Verify that the shade is fully seated on the lamp fitting. Adjust the gimbal to ensure it is centered and tightened if necessary. Check that the lamp base itself is stable on its surface.

My light bulb doesn't fit or is too loose.

The lampshade accommodates common bulb fitting sizes (B22/BC, E14/SES, E27/ES) via the reducer ring. Ensure your bulb matches your lamp's socket, not necessarily the lampshade's ring. Also, check that the bulb's physical size doesn't obstruct the shade's frame.

Light output seems too dim or too bright.

The lampshade supports a maximum of 60W. If the light is too dim, consider a higher wattage bulb (up to 60W) or a bulb with a higher lumen output. If too bright, use a lower wattage bulb or one with fewer lumens.

Tassels are tangled or look dishevelled.

Gently untangle the tassels using your fingers. For routine cleaning, use a soft, dry brush to straighten them and remove dust.

  • Highly versatile; can be used as a pendant, table, or floor lamp shade.

  • Constructed from luxurious soft velvet with quality handmade trims.
  • Enhances ambient lighting with its classic design.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup Instructions

  1. Unpack: Carefully remove the lampshade from its packaging.
  2. Determine Use: Decide if you will use the shade as a pendant (hanging) or on a table/floor lamp.
  3. Adjust Gimbal: The shade features a reversible gimbal. For pendant use, ensure the gimbal is oriented to hang downwards. For table or floor lamp use, orient it to sit upwards on the lamp base.
  4. Insert Reducer Ring: If your lamp fitting is smaller than the shade's main ring, insert the included reducer ring into the gimbal opening. This ring makes the shade compatible with B22/BC and E14/SES fittings, while the larger opening is suitable for E27/ES fittings.
  5. Attach to Fitting: Securely place the lampshade onto your light fitting, ensuring it is stable and level.
  6. Insert Bulb: Screw in a compatible light bulb (not included) into your lamp fitting, ensuring it does not exceed the maximum 60W limit.

Compatibility

  • Lamp Fittings: Compatible with B22/BC, E14/SES, and E27/ES fittings, thanks to the included reducer ring.
  • Bulb Type: Use any bulb type (LED, incandescent, CFL) that fits your lamp's socket, provided its wattage does not exceed 60W.

Care & Maintenance

  • Dusting: Regularly dust the velvet fabric and tassels with a soft, dry cloth or a soft brush attachment on a vacuum cleaner to prevent dust buildup.
  • Spot Cleaning: For small marks on the velvet, gently blot with a slightly damp cloth using only water. Avoid rubbing vigorously or using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the fabric and trims.
  • Tassel Care: If tassels become tangled, gently separate them with your fingers. Avoid pulling forcefully to prevent damage.
  • Handling: Always handle the lampshade by its frame to avoid creasing or damaging the velvet fabric.
