FAQs

Do I need an electrician to install this shade?

No, the 'Easy Fit' design means no wiring is required. It simply attaches to an existing pendant fitting or lamp base.

What type of bulbs can I use with this shade?

You can use LED bulbs, dimmable bulbs, and most smart bulbs. The maximum wattage is 60W, and it uses B22 BC or E27 ES fittings.

Can I use this shade on any lamp base?

Yes, it can be used as a pendant shade or a lamp shade. The reversible gimble and included shade reducer help ensure compatibility with most standard fittings.

What are the dimensions of the shade?

The shade is 14.5 cm in height and 27 cm in diameter.

How do I clean the shade?

Gently dust with a soft, dry cloth. For tougher marks, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid harsh cleaning chemicals.

Is the navy blue trim a thick ribbon?

The description mentions a 'navy blue trimmed scalloped edge', implying a finished trim rather than a thick ribbon. The exact material of the trim is not specified.

Will this shade work with a specific smart bulb brand?

The shade is compatible with 'most domestic smart light bulbs'. While it's designed for broad compatibility, it's always best to check the specific dimensions of your smart bulb against the shade's measurements to ensure a good fit.

Troubleshooting

Shade does not fit securely on pendant fitting

Ensure the reversible gimble is correctly positioned and that the shade reducer is used if the fitting is smaller than standard.

Light flickers or is unstable

Check that the bulb is securely screwed in and that it is compatible with the fitting. Try a different bulb or ensure the bulb wattage does not exceed 60W.

Shade seems too close to the bulb

Verify the bulb length is suitable for the shade dimensions (14.5cm height). Ensure the bulb is not touching the shade material.

Smart bulb control issues

Ensure the smart bulb itself is functioning correctly and paired with your smart home system. The shade's compatibility does not affect the smart bulb's independent operation.
