Troubleshooting
Shade does not fit onto the bulb holder.
Verify that you are using the correct fitting (B22 BC or E27 ES) and that any necessary adapters are in place. Ensure the shade's internal ring is correctly positioned over the holder.
Light flickers or does not turn on.
Check that the bulb is screwed in correctly and is not a faulty bulb. Ensure the bulb does not exceed the 60W maximum. Confirm the main power is on.
Smart bulb is too long for the shade.
Measure the smart bulb's length and compare it to the shade's height (16 cm). If too long, consider a shorter smart bulb model or a different type of smart lighting solution.
Shade feels loose after installation.
Re-read the installation instructions to ensure the shade is secured properly using its intended mechanism. Make sure it is not overtightened, which could damage the fitting.
