FAQs
What type of bulb should I use with this lampshade?
You should use low-heat bulbs, such as LED or CFL bulbs. Avoid high-wattage incandescent or halogen bulbs, as they can damage the natural rattan.
How do I clean the lampshade?
Wipe the lampshade gently with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
What are the dimensions of the lampshade?
The lampshade measures H 40 x W 50 x D 50cm.
Does this come with a light fitting or cord?
No, this is a lampshade only. It is designed to fit most standard pendant light fittings.
Can I use this lampshade outdoors?
This lampshade is designed for indoor use only and should be kept away from moisture and direct weather.
Is the rattan material treated or finished?
The description indicates it is made from natural rattan. It is recommended to use a soft cloth for cleaning, suggesting a natural, untreated finish.
Troubleshooting
Lampshade does not fit the fitting.
Ensure you are using a standard pendant fitting. If the issue persists, double-check the size of your bulb holder and the internal diameter of the lampshade's top opening.
Light seems too dim.
Consider using a higher wattage low-heat bulb (within the manufacturer's recommended maximum for the fixture) or supplementing with other light sources. The open weave is designed for ambient, not task lighting.
Rattan appears discolored or brittle.
This may be due to using a bulb that generates too much heat. Immediately switch to a low-heat LED or CFL bulb and ensure there is adequate ventilation around the bulb.
