Troubleshooting
Shade does not fit securely
Ensure the retaining ring on the bulb holder is properly aligned and tightened. Check that the shade's internal diameter is compatible with your bulb holder.
Light is not turning on
Verify that the power is on at the wall switch. Check that the bulb is correctly screwed into the holder and is not burnt out. Ensure the shade is not obstructing the bulb connection.
Glossy finish appears dull or scratched
Clean gently with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. Minor surface scuffs may be less noticeable once a bulb is installed and light is cast.
