FAQs

Can this lampshade be used with a smart bulb?

Yes, as long as the smart bulb's base type (B22 or E27) is compatible with the lampshade's fitting and the bulb's physical size does not obstruct the shade.

What is the maximum bulb wattage recommended?

The product description does not specify a maximum wattage, but it is advisable to use LED bulbs which generate less heat and are safer for lampshade materials.

How do I clean the contrasting inner lining?

The inner lining can typically be cleaned with a dry cloth or a soft brush. Avoid using liquids, as they may stain or damage the lining material.

Is this lampshade suitable for a bathroom?

This lampshade is designed for general home décor and is not rated for specific damp or wet environments like bathrooms. Use with caution and ensure adequate ventilation.

Does the lampshade come with a bulb?

No, the lampshade is sold separately and does not include a bulb. A compatible bulb needs to be purchased separately.

Can I use this lampshade with a dimmer switch?

Yes, if you are using a compatible bulb with your dimmer switch. The lampshade itself does not affect dimmer functionality.

Troubleshooting

Lampshade does not fit the bulb holder.

Ensure you are using the correct fitting (B22 or E27) and have removed or inserted the reducer ring as needed for your specific fixture.

Light appears uneven or too dim.

Check that the lampshade is correctly centered on the bulb holder and that the bulb wattage is appropriate for the size of the shade and your lighting needs.

Velvet fabric looks crushed or marked.

Gently brush the area with a soft-bristled brush. For persistent marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used with care, followed by allowing it to air dry completely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This lampshade is designed for tool-free installation. Simply remove your old shade, ensure the bulb is cool, and fit the new shade onto the bulb holder. If using as a pendant, ensure the shade can be securely attached to the pendant fitting. If using on a lamp base, ensure it sits correctly on the existing harp or fitting.

Compatibility: The shade features a universal fitting and includes a removable reducer ring, making it compatible with both standard B22 bayonet and E27 screw bulb holders. Always confirm your existing fixture type before installation.

Care: To maintain the premium appearance of the velvet fabric, dust regularly with a soft brush or a dry cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth, being careful not to saturate the fabric. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. For stubborn marks, professional cleaning might be advisable.
