FAQs

Do I need to wire this pendant shade?

No, this is an "Easy Fit" shade that requires no wiring. It simply attaches over your existing pendant light fitting.

What type of bulb should I use?

You need a B22 BC or E27 ES bulb, with a maximum wattage of 40W. LED bulbs are recommended.

Can I use this shade with a smart bulb?

Yes, this shade is compatible with most domestic smart light bulbs. Ensure the bulb's length does not exceed the shade's 16 cm height.

How do I clean the velvet shade?

Gently dust with a soft, dry cloth. For marks, use a slightly damp cloth, avoiding saturation and harsh chemicals.

What are the dimensions of the shade?

The shade has a height of 16 cm and a diameter of 23 cm.

Can I dim the light with this shade?

Yes, if you use a dimmable bulb and a compatible dimmer switch. The shade itself does not control dimming.

What rooms is this shade suitable for?

It is suitable for bedrooms, dining rooms, guest rooms, hallways, kitchens, living rooms, and porches.

Troubleshooting

Shade does not fit securely.

Ensure you are using the correct type of bulb fitting (B22 or E27) and that the shade's internal fitting is properly aligned with the lampholder.

Light flickers when using a dimmable bulb.

Confirm that both the bulb and the wall switch are rated as dimmable. Ensure the bulb wattage does not exceed the shade's 40W maximum.

Velvet material appears crushed.

Gently steam the affected area from a distance (do not let the shade get wet) and then carefully brush with a soft brush to restore the pile.

Shade feels loose after installation.

Double-check that the shade is fully screwed onto the lampholder. If it continues to feel loose, consider adding a small rubber washer or tape to the lampholder threads for a tighter fit, ensuring it does not damage the fitting.

  2. Remove the existing light shade or bulb if necessary.

  • Bulb Type: Requires a B22 BC or E27 ES bulb, with a maximum wattage of 40W.
  • Dimming: Compatible with dimmable bulbs when used with a compatible dimmer switch.
  • Smart Bulbs: Compatible with most domestic smart light bulbs. Always check bulb length against the shade's 16 cm height to ensure it doesn't protrude excessively.
  • Fittings: Designed to fit standard pendant light fittings.

Care:

  • Gently dust the velvet with a soft, dry cloth or a feather duster.
  • For stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth, being careful not to saturate the velvet. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
