FAQs

Is the light bulb included with the lampshade?

No, the light bulb is not included. You will need to purchase a light bulb separately.

What type of light bulb should I use, and what is the maximum wattage?

You can use any bulb type (LED, CFL, incandescent) as long as its wattage does not exceed 11W. The lampshade is compatible with B22/BC, E14/SES, and E27/ES fittings.

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

Yes, absolutely! This lampshade features a reversible gimbal, allowing it to be used upright on a table or floor lamp base, or inverted for a hanging ceiling pendant.

How do I clean the velvet material and tassels?

Gently dust the lampshade regularly with a soft, dry cloth or a lint roller. For minor marks, lightly dab with a damp cloth; avoid rubbing. Do not use harsh chemical cleaners. Untangle tassels by hand if needed.

What are the exact dimensions of the lampshade?

The lampshade's height is 26cm (excluding tassels). The top diameter is 15cm, and the bottom diameter is 40cm.

Is this lampshade available in other colors?

Yes, this traditional Victorian Empire lampshade design is available in a variety of other colors, including Navy Midnight Blue, Purple, Grey, Green, Black, and Olive Green.

What is the purpose of the shade reducer ring?

The shade reducer ring is an adapter that allows the lampshade to fit smaller lamp holders, specifically B22/BC and E14/SES fittings, by reducing the size of the standard E27/ES opening.

Troubleshooting

The lampshade does not fit my lamp holder.

Ensure you are using the included shade reducer ring if your lamp holder is one of the smaller, compatible types (E14/SES or B22/BC). The reducer ring helps adapt the larger E27/ES fitting to these smaller sizes. Confirm your lamp holder is one of the compatible types (B22/BC, E14/SES, E27/ES).

The light appears too dim or too bright with the shade on.

The lampshade is designed to diffuse light. If it's too dim, try a brighter bulb within the 11W maximum. If too bright, consider a bulb with a lower lumen output while staying within the 11W limit. Always ensure the bulb wattage does not exceed 11W.

The lampshade hangs or sits crookedly.

Carefully remove the lampshade and re-seat it firmly on the lamp holder, ensuring the gimbal is evenly aligned and securely attached. For pendant use, check that the fitting itself is level.

The velvet fabric looks flattened or dusty.

Gently brush the velvet with a soft, dry cloth or a specialized velvet brush in the direction of the pile to restore its texture. For dust, a lint roller can be effective. Avoid pressing too hard.

Tassels are tangled or look disheveled.

Gently untangle and straighten the tassels by hand. Avoid pulling them forcefully, as this could detach them from the shade.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup Instructions

  1. Unpack Carefully: Remove the lampshade from its packaging, ensuring not to damage the velvet or tassels.
  2. Determine Orientation: Decide if you will use the shade as a pendant (inverted) or a table/floor lamp shade (upright).
  3. Attach to Fitting: Locate the gimbal in the center of the shade. For smaller lamp holders, insert the included shade reducer ring into the gimbal opening. Carefully place the lampshade onto your lamp's bulb holder/fitting until it sits securely.
  4. Install Bulb: Screw in your chosen light bulb. Ensure the bulb's wattage does not exceed 11W and that it has one of the compatible bases (B22/BC, E14/SES, or E27/ES).

Compatibility

  • Lamp Fittings: Designed to fit B22/BC (Bayonet Cap), E14/SES (Small Edison Screw), and E27/ES (Edison Screw) lamp holders.
  • Bulb Type: Compatible with LED, CFL, or incandescent bulbs, provided the wattage is 11W or less.
  • Usage: Suitable for both hanging pendant light fixtures and standard table or floor lamp bases.

Care & Maintenance

  • Dusting: Regularly dust the lampshade with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth or a velvet brush to maintain its appearance and prevent dust buildup on the velvet and tassels.
  • Spot Cleaning: For small marks or smudges on the velvet, lightly dab the affected area with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid rubbing vigorously, as this can crush the velvet pile. Do not use harsh chemical cleaners, as they can damage the fabric and trim.
  • Tassel Care: Gently straighten tassels by hand if they become dishevelled. Avoid pulling them forcefully.
  • Bulb Replacement: Always ensure the lamp is switched off and unplugged before replacing the light bulb.
