What is the diameter of the shade?

Is the light dimmable?

Troubleshooting

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation should only be performed by individuals comfortable with electrical wiring; ensure the power is cut at the mains before starting. The fixture mounts directly to the ceiling using the provided mounting hardware. For care, keep the nickel finish free of fingerprints by wiping occasionally with a dry microfiber cloth. The fabric shade can be gently dusted using a soft-bristled vacuum attachment or a lint roller to prevent dust accumulation. Ensure bulbs used do not exceed the 40W limit to prevent overheating the shade material.
