FAQs
Is a bulb included with the shade?
No, this product is a shade only. A bulb and lamp base or pendant fitting must be purchased separately.
What type of bulb should I use?
The type of bulb depends on your lamp base or pendant fitting. Always refer to the maximum wattage and type of bulb recommended for your fixture. This shade is designed to diffuse light from standard bulbs.
How do I clean the shade?
Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For light soiling, use a slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry. Avoid harsh cleaning agents.
Can this shade be used outdoors?
This shade is designed for indoor use only. Exposure to outdoor elements can damage the fabric and finish.
What are the exact dimensions of the shade?
The shade is a cylinder with a diameter of 16cm.
Can I use this shade with a dimmer switch?
Compatibility with a dimmer switch depends on the bulb and the lamp base or pendant fitting, not the shade itself. Ensure your bulb and fixture are dimmer-compatible.
Troubleshooting
Shade does not fit securely
Ensure the shade's fitting mechanism (e.g., harp, ring) is compatible with your lamp base or pendant fixture. Check that all securing parts (like the finial) are tightened correctly.
Fabric appears creased or damaged
Gently try to smooth out creases with your hands. For minor damage, assess if repair is possible. Avoid rough handling during installation and cleaning.
Light appears too dim
This shade is designed to diffuse light. For brighter illumination, consider using a higher wattage bulb (within the fixture's recommended limit) or a bulb with a higher lumen output. Ensure the bulb is clean.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This shade is designed for straightforward attachment. It typically fits onto a standard harp and finial system found on many table and floor lamps. For pendant fittings, ensure your existing fixture has a compatible frame or ring to secure the shade. Always disconnect power before attempting to attach or remove the shade.
Compatibility: The 16cm cylinder shade is compatible with most standard table lamp bases, floor lamp fittings, and pendant light fixtures that accept shades of this diameter and have a suitable securing mechanism. It is recommended to check the dimensions and securing method of your existing lamp or fixture before purchase.
Care: To maintain the appearance of the shade, dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For more stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry completely. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the fabric.
