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.
