FAQs
Does this product include the bulb or cable?
No, the Rufus 50cm Paper Ball Shade is sold as a shade-only item. You will need to provide your own flex pendant cable and light bulb.
What is the diameter of this shade?
The shade measures 50cm in diameter and 50cm in height.
Can I use this with any light bulb?
It is recommended to use a low-wattage, energy-efficient LED bulb to ensure the paper does not overheat and to prolong the life of the material.
Is this paper shade easy to clean?
You can clean it using a soft, dry microfiber cloth or a feather duster. Do not use liquids or household cleaners.
Is the installation difficult?
No, it is designed as an 'easy-fit' product that attaches to your current ceiling pendant, usually requiring no tools other than adjusting the screw ring.
Can this be used in a bathroom?
It is not recommended for bathrooms or high-humidity areas, as moisture can damage the paper material.
Troubleshooting
Shade appears crooked or lopsided
Adjust the position of the internal wire harp fitting to ensure it is centered on the lamp holder.
Visible shadows on the paper
Ensure the light bulb is perfectly centered within the shade; off-center bulbs can cast uneven shadows.
Difficulty fitting onto the light fixture
Verify that your existing light pendant has a standard size gallery or screw ring that can accommodate the wire harp.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the Rufus shade is straightforward. Since it uses an easy-fit design, simply slide the internal wire harp fitting onto your existing pendant set's lampholder and secure it with the provided screw ring. The shade is compatible with most standard pendant fittings found in modern homes. To care for your shade, use a dry, soft duster or a microfiber cloth to gently remove any accumulated dust. Avoid using water or chemical cleaners, as these can permanently stain or weaken the paper material. Because it is made of paper, ensure it is positioned well away from direct contact with the light bulb to maintain safety.
