Troubleshooting

Shade does not fit lamp base securely.

Verify that the lamp base has the correct type of fitting (e.g., harp, clip-on) and that the shade's internal fitter is compatible. Ensure any securing mechanisms like finials are tightened correctly.

Light appears uneven or too dim.

Ensure the correct wattage and type of bulb are used as recommended. Check that the bulb is centered within the shade for even light distribution. Consider using a higher lumen bulb if more brightness is needed, ensuring it does not exceed the maximum wattage rating.

Gently steam the fabric from a distance or use a cool iron on the reverse side with a protective cloth. Avoid direct high heat. For stubborn creases, consult the care instructions or consider professional cleaning.
